Definitely. The boat design was perfect and three toilets and showers a luxury. We cooked every evening and found all we needed. We wish you had Le boat on other canals in Britain so that we could have the Crusader again. We feel we are too old to manage the narrow, bouncy jetties on the Thames.

Service was friendly and minor problems were sorted out immediately. We were given thorough instructions about how to manage the boat and staying safe on the water! There is obvious good communication between Le Boat and lock keepers who were all very helpful too. Very enjoyable, restful trip with hired bicycles, extra freedom on shore too!

Help from UK staff during the booking process and the welcome, briefing and on boat tuition from Patrice and Paul in France was excellent. The boat was very well equipped, the French lock keepers very friendly and helpful and we found some great restaurants close to the moorings on the river Vilaine. It all adds up to a very enjoyable and relaxing holiday

Fantastic team at the Laggan location. This was the first time my family and I have ever done a boating vacation. We very much enjoyed our trip. But it was the staff that made the holiday so enjoyable. The crusader was large enough to give each of us a bit of space, but small enough to manage.
