We had a fabulous holiday on the Caledonian Canal. It was great from the booking process all the way through. Clear information in advance and great induction to the boat and area on arrival. Magnifique was great for our party of 8 adults and a baby. Plenty of room and three showers. Having two fridges is great too. Comfortable boat.

The boatyard staff were extremely helpful, nothing was too much trouble, and the boat condition was superb Excellent boat with plenty of space for the six of us, would have been a little cramped if there were more. The boat handled well, and the interior was well planned, with only very minor snags. All in all an excellent holiday

Excellent service from the Cape Town office - Dianne supported our planning with great communication and accurate information. We received exactly what we requested and it worked well for us. The Port Cassafieres staff were friendly and helpful and very accommodating. We tried to moor at Trebes and there was no space for us to be able to connect to shore power. The marina was full of empty boats (it is low season) and despite spending 2 nights there no effort was made to move an empty boat to allow us access to power. The Magnifique was perfect for 2 families, one at each end of the boat. The boat performed well and was great fun to drive. The facilities on board like fridges and cooking equipment worked well and were sufficient for 8 people.

From booking with Marcus a year before our trip to all of the staff we met along the way it was a fantastic trip and Le Boat made it easy and enjoyable. We took our two dogs and they loved all the walks we went on along the tow path. My brother and I booked it as a surprise trip for my mother and fathers 60th birthdays and with our partners there were 6 of us (and the two dogs) on the boat and we all fitted comfortably. Hopefully I have attached our time lapse of our last day, we were all very sad to be heading home. Brilliant boat. Plenty of room for the 6 of us as 2 dogs. Well equipped. We would just have liked a mop what with the two dogs on board.

we loved life on the boat, especially in scotland with the locks and canals. the boat was beautidul and all worked well. the only suggestion i would give is to spend a little more time on instructions for parking. we only had a short lesson, so we basically had to learn as we went, which added stress to our trip. we notived another boating company had instructors stay on the baot through the first lock with the guests. That would have been helpful. We didn't know what to do when we got to our first lock, which was right at the pickup location. All turned out fine, but a little more practice on parking would have made the trip excellent! we loved the space of this boat. we only had a family of 5, so next time i would rather get a smaller boat. i was thinking originally thinking we would want the space, but we really didnt need it and a smaller boat would have been easier to maneuver.
