Although a budget boat the Continentale was perfect for us as a group of four adults, and was well equipped, will fitted out and excellent layout with a high up driving position. Not having side thrusters wasn't a real issue either. It had one small sunshade though, totally inadequate there, and we are so glad we brought along another one.
However, the extra 230euros cost of fuel was, we think, extortionate. It's calculated at the end of the trip, depending on how many hours you've used the engine....and taken from a cash deposit, and you're not given any idea how much it's likely to be as the table of variable rates isn't helpful. Adding such a sum at the end of the holiday boosts the overall cost considerably, and we wonder why it has to be cash, not payable by card.
Staff were helpful and cheerful, and their English was excellent. They were so helpful when we found ourselves at a lock which wasn't working as someone before us apparently pressed the emergency button. They got the lock keeper out to sort it out promptly, and witout the help of Le Boat staff we'd have been stuck. Excellent route, plenty of time in a week to complete it, and we went further south than Narbonne along the Canal de la Robine and experienced true peace and quiet and solitude. Fun to be able to moor right near the centre of Beziers,and right in the very centre of Narbonne. The Continentale boat is slightly narrower than other boats, but is easier to get through bridges, and has an excellent high up driving position. Lots of room up top for flexible seating and table arrangements,and positioning of sunshade ( which was, however, far too small). Fridge ample size, great cooker, plenty of storage space in the kitchen. Well designed boat.

We had a wonderful week on the canal boat. We were upgraded to a larger three bedroom boat and that extra space really was beneficial. The boat kitchen had everything you would need. Just a couple of comments: you need to let people know that if they are arriving by train in Decize there is no taxi to get you to the Le Boat office of the hotel near the canal. Luckily the very kind people in the hotel came and picked us up from the supermarket when we could not get a taxi. It is too far to walk and there is no footpath so getting luggage is difficult. Secondly the cruise guide that is supplied is out of date. This needs to be updated. Quite a few times we stopped at a town to get supplies/go to a restaurant to find that there was no longer a local shop or that the restaurant had closed a couple of years ago. This makes it difficult to obtain food and supplies. As you are relying on these little towns and villages for food etc its important that the information you provide to your customers is as up to date as can be so people are not caught out. Next time I would probably get a boat that had an awning as in the summer the sun was very hot up on deck. A fan in the living area would have been great as well. Otherwise we had a lovely time and would recommend Le Boat. Their staff were very helpful and the pick up/drop off went seemlessly. Good sized boat with everything you need. 4 people on this boat so the spare room was used to store suitcases and clothes etc... would have been difficult for us without this room

Great holiday. Would go for a boat with air conditioning next time as it was very hot in the boat. Great holiday but only a couple of larger towns to visit.

Professional, friendly & relaxed. The Continentale was well equipped and very comfortable. It is one of the older boats, so no bow thruster or air conditioning. My pregnant wife managed getting around with relative ease and driving wasn't too challenging, though we have prior experience. A novice may be better suited to a model with bow thruster as a helping hand.

Great service from staff at Gray. Went out of their way to deal with issues we had with the hired bikes. A good starter boat but lacked storage in the bedrooms for anyone on an extended vacation.
