Air cooling and air conditioning

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.

Great process and staff. The Horizon 1 was a perfect fit for the two of us. We used the second berth to store luggage and clothes.

This trip exceeded all our expectations, and I can't recommend Le Boat enough for anyone looking to experience the true beauty of IreLand. We rented the Horiszon 1 and it was perfect for exploring the stunning waterways. It had everything we needed and more, offering the ideal balance of comfort and adventure. Cruising along, with the gentle breeze and the lush landscape all around, was nothing short of magical.

Le Boat gave us a a great onboarding and orientation to the boat, including a "test drive." Since we are small boat owners this was helpful to understand the nuances of the larger cabin cruiser Horizon 1 . The only caveat to the service is the change of end point service. Due to high waters we could not end in Boofzheim. Instead we offboarded in Kraft. There was NO ONE in Kraft, no electricity, no services at all! Our phones did not work due to a European service carrier outage so we were completely stranded!! LeBoat should have made some arrangements for those several boats ending in Kraft to get to the train station. It could have been a travel disaster with missed train, missed flight etc. Fortunately for us, another group had made arrangements for a private driver and they asked him to return for us! The Horizon 1 was the perfect boat for my husband and me. The layout worked well for us and we especially liked having a stern space for the bikes and to get on and off the boat.

The boat was clean; the staff at Smith Falls friendly and helpful. We had a great time. The only concern was that the boat wasn't very well stocked. There was a partial roll of toilet paper and one small trash bag. I didn't expect to have to buy everything including but not limited to- more toilet paper, sponges, soap (dish, hand and shower), paper towels, foil, etc. We would like to go overseas next time and will be even more limited in how much we can bring along. The other thing that didn't sit particularly well was having a list of chores upon departure when I paid a premium fee for cleaning.
