Le Boat has launched its 2026 brochure, offering more boats, destinations, and opportunities than ever to explore by water.
Following strong demand for its luxury models, Horizon and Liberty, the company has expanded both fleets and broadened destination choices.
With bookings for Liberty almost sold out for 2025, Le Boat is building 13 additional Liberty boats for 2026.
These new boats provide hotel-style beds, air conditioning, and sundecks with loungers and BBQs, delivering comfort for families and couples.
Currently available in England, Germany, France, and the Netherlands, Liberty boats will reach new waters in 2026.
Destinations include Ireland, Belgium, and new French regions like Charente and Aquitaine, alongside expanded fleets in existing bases.
Le Boat will also add 11 more new Horizon models, increasing the high-end fleet to 200 boats.
By 2026, Horizon yachts will account for 21% of Le Boat’s entire international fleet, reflecting sustained premium demand.
In the UK, interest is particularly strong, with bookings for the top-tier fleet rising 15% year-on-year.
The new brochure highlights classic routes, including France’s Canal du Midi, celebrating 30 years as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Across the Atlantic, Canadian waterways are also drawing attention, especially with the 2026 FIFA World Cup on the horizon.
Ontario is proving especially popular, as Toronto hosts six matches, including Canada’s first men’s World Cup fixture.
A recent agreement with Groupe Beneteau under the Delphia brand will further fuel Le Boat’s expansion strategy.
This global sporting milestone makes Ontario an ideal place to combine football with a boating holiday on its lakes.
The partnership will deliver £100 million of fleet investment, with 400 boats built over ten years.
One hundred will arrive within three years, including both Horizon and Liberty models, strengthening Le Boat’s premium offering.
To celebrate, Le Boat is offering 2026 savings up to £650 on bookings made before 30 September 2025.
Guests who pay in full when booking receive an additional 2% discount, ensuring extra value alongside the lowest price guarantee.
The 2026 boating season runs 1 April to 31 October in Europe and 15 May to 13 October in Canada.
Example prices include £2,119 for a seven-night Liberty cruise on the Thames, sleeping five people, self-catered.
A Canal du Midi Horizon cruise starts at £1,709, reduced from £2,109, for seven nights aboard a five-berth yacht.
No boating experience is required for either trip, making the adventures accessible to first-timers as well as seasoned cruisers.
Le Boat, with over 50 years of expertise, remains the leading provider of inland waterway boating holidays worldwide.
Its fleet of large, self-drive yachts lets families and groups explore Europe and Canada at their own pace.
The company also offers an ownership programme, allowing investors guaranteed income and up to eight weeks’ annual personal use.
Since the Horizon range launched in 2016, ownership demand has tripled, highlighting growing interest in luxury inland cruising.
