Sleeping a maximum of six, the Countess is a great canal boat rent well-appointed with warm and inviting wood cabinets and extensive interior space. The grand saloon has a radio/CD player (some have flat-screen TV/DVD players), and the large rear deck is an ideal venue for socialising and watching the scenery glide by!
Jump aboard and take a look around with our virtual tour...

We received a warm welcome at Le Boat, and were very well looked after. The initial briefing from Lucy, and the introduction to the boat by Slawek were both friendly and informative. They both made it easy to start out on the river, for us novices. The boat was great! Very well equipped with everything we could need, and very comfortable. There was a fault we found with the heating, which did not work on the first night. But when we called to report this, the response was excellent. After some brief diagnostic chat over the phone with Lucy and Slawek, he visited the boat where we were moored, and got the fault fixed. There was also some reimbursement at checkout time, due to the time we lost during this repair. Eveything was handled very well, and we felt looked after and relaxed throughout.

Everyone was so helpful and friendly when we got to the boatyard before starting the holiday and again when we got back at the end.
The week on the river was relaxing and everyone was so friendly, the lock keepers are great and everyone helps everyone. The Countess is a lovely boat and would book again

Air France lost our luggage, so we had to start our holiday with what we could buy locally; however, Fabrice and all the team at Messac helped us out by bringing our luggage to us when it arrive two days later. (We were at Redon, 34km from Messac when the luggage arrived.) So we were able to have a great holiday with the minimum of disruption. We have hired lots of boats in France over the years from; Le Boat, Locaboat, France Passion Plaisance and Caminav. Generally, the boats from Le Boat are in better condition than the rest.

Support staff at Benson and Chertsey were all very helpful. Our boat was just big enough and comfortable for cruising

The whole service is excellent. This was our sixth time sailing with them and just as good as the rest.
Friendly, helpful with very good staff. Not a lot else to say but Thanks. We had an enjoyable week cruising the Canal du Nivernais aboard the Countess. The boat met all our expectations, it was reliable and performed faultlessly. As a couple we only used the rear cabin which was spacious and comfortable, with an en-suite. The level of equipment and layout compares favorably with other boats we have hired previously.

superb, polite service, accurate information. Great vessel with all amenities. Pity there is no view from the galley for the "galley slave"!! Perfect for 2 people would be a bit tight for four. Ideal to have electronic toilet flush on this model now.

The leBoat people are top notch - from initial inquiry, to booking, to on-the-watersupport. You make me write something to progress to give you my survey - this is stupid.

Service very smooth and boat as expected. Only issue was had to wait at reception for 45 mins before being served due to receptionist taking another client through check in process.
Suggest it would have been useful to use the time and tell us to put our personal things on the boat and sort out and come back at.... After 30 mins waiting this is what we asked if we could do. Good boat with everything working.
