Wood-effect flooring, wood-tone cabinets and finishes, and plush upholstery create an ambiance of understated elegance. The large picture windows through let in abundant natural light, particularly in the grand saloon.
The saloon is well suited for larger parties, featuring a lavish U-shaped settee and a large dining table that converts to a comfortable bed for two.
A music system includes a radio/CD player with MP3/USB connectivity. The sundeck is wired for sound. Each boat also has a flat-screen TV/DVD player (satellite TV is available on some models).
An inside steering station has good visibility.
Side access to the decks makes line handling easy.
The huge kitchen/galley features black granite-effect counters, stainless-steel sink, large gas stove and oven, two spacious electric refrigerators, and plenty of cabinet space for provisions.
Kitchen equipment and utensils were recently upgraded.
In the rear section of the boat, you’ll find two comfortable cabins with two single beds that convert to double beds. In each is an en-suite bathroom with shower, new electric-flush toilet, and sink.
Two luxury staterooms forward have comfortable double beds. These cabins share the boat’s third bathroom, which is equipped with a shower, new electric-flush toilet, and sink.
Plentiful closets and other storage make the sleeping cabins free of clutter.
Cabin fans in all areas are welcome in hot weather.
When the temperatures soar, our cabin air cooling system can help make your night’s sleep a little more comfortable. Air cooling uses canal/river water to produce cool air which is blown out through vents.
Please note: This is not the same as air-conditioning which can achieve lower temperatures and has a thermostatic control. Performance significantly reduces if canal/river temperature is too high.

1. On Saturday 9th April 2022 we arrived at the Chertsey Boat Yard at our allotted time for when our boat would be ready, 1500 to 1530 hrs and it was nowhere near ready. A party who had paid extra to have their boat at 1400 hrs were still waiting for their boat at our time. one of your "cleaners" had gone for lunch and not returned. All members of your team at your Chertsey base were running around trying to make up for the lost time but struggled. The early party got their boat, finally at 1600 hrs and we got ours at 1630 hrs.
2. As we were leaving it soon became apparent that the boat we had chosen did not have any Bow Thrusters working. The Chertsey Boat Yard is extremely difficult to manoeuvre out of without the use of Bow Thrusters. I shouted to one of your team on shore and when I came close to shore he jumped onto our boat, lifted the back engine cover, climbed down into the engine compartment and reset, what he called, the Bow Thruster thermal cut out switch. This gave us our Bow Thrusters back and so we set sail for Hampton Court Palace.
3. Hampton Court Palace is quite a journey and so on our first night we moored up at Sunbury Locks. When we tried to lock our doors for the evening we discovered that the sliding side exit door would not lock. We had effectively picked up a boat which was not secure to leave. We set off next morning, heading for Hampton Court and on our arrival we discovered that the Bow Thrusters were no longer working. I tried to reset the thermal overload switch down in the engine compartment but it would not reset. We moored up as best we could and rang LeBoat Emergency Help line and gave the member of your team a list of the following defects. a] Bow Thrusters keep tripping. b] Side door will not lock and c] Fridges not working. Your man said he will come over to Hampton Court and sort the problems out. We then went to Hampton Court Palace leaving our boat in an insecure state. When we arrived back in the early evening your man came and reset the Bow Thruster thermal overload and got the fridges working. However, he could not source a lock for the door and so he said he would have to try. We told him that we were now heading for Windsor and would phone him when we arrived and our location.
4. We arrived at Windsor on the Monday evening, rang your man, told him where we were moored (near the Spitfire statue) and he came that evening with the new lock and changed it.
5. It was quite cold in the evenings and so we used the heating quite a lot. During this period, after a while, I noticed that the green "ON" Light of the heating switch would end up flashing?
6. On the Tuesday, after we had been to LEGO Land, your Technical Expert rang me and said that he would have to look at the Bow Thrusters system when we arrived with the boat at your Benson Boat Yard at the end of our holiday. I told him that it had tripped several times and now I had discovered that it will only reset with the engine off, which now I did in order to have use of the Bow Thrusters during our voyage.
7. We arrived at the boat yard at around 1400hrs on Friday 15th April, a day early but decided to go home. I met your Technical Expert who then told me that the switch I had been resetting in the engine compartment was in fact a charging reset switch which answered the question as to why the heater on switch green light flashed. When it flashed it was telling me that the batteries had tripped and were no longer charging the boat's electrical systems.
8. When we originally booked our holiday our route was Benson to Benson but operationally this was impossible as our boat had not been taken to Benson from Chertsey. However, our holiday was now going to be better because our journey would consist of new places every day instead of having to return through the places we had already visited. Leboat very kindly offered to ferry my car across to Benson free of charge so that it was waiting for me at the end of my journey.... which was a kind gesture on their part.
9. It was stated, at some time during my numerous conversations, that LeBoat France send all their old boats to the UK for use on the Thames. When you see some of the designs of boats that are now in use I'm beginning to believe it.
Our boat should have been given a thorough maintenance inspection before declaring it fit for use. Our week was the first week, this season, that our boat had been made available and come into circulation after a Winter parked up.
Every single person at LeBoat's Chertsey base deserve a medal because of the impossible task they had in getting the boats out on that day, 9th April 2022. They were left with impossible odds due to the disappearance of their cleaner at lunch time and the shortage of bodies to make up the slack.
Your Technical expert at Benson and the female receptionist (Polish?) both deserve medals because of the way they handled our problems en-route and on our final day before we went home We had a fantastic time. Hampton Court Palace is a definite place to see. Even our children loved it, especially the "Magic Garden" When we were there, having a coffee whilst our children played we saw Rich Fulcher who played Bob Fossil in "The Mighty Boosh"
Lego Land cost "an arm and a leg" but a must see and that was another enjoyable part of our journey
