What a great experience! We were a group of 10 that went out on a sunset cruise. The cruise was 3 hours and included food and the light open bar from their menu. Everything was fantastic, especially the grilled Portuguese chorizo sausage!! All of the food provided looked exactly as advertised in their menu. Manuel and his crew looked after all our needs. Great communication, great boat, and great service! Not one complaint from any of the 10 passengers (and we are all boat owners and know how things should be). We charter boats whenever we visit a coastal town or city and this was one of our favourites. I strongly recommend Miguel and his crew - you will not be disappointed!
Very good day in the company of Paul who is very friendly and knows the region well. Very beautiful places without too many people. We had a great time.
If you're looking to sail down different rivers in complete comfort, then a canal boat is the ideal boat for you. If you're with family or friends, you can easily enjoy the calm and comfortable waters of river sailing. In Europe, there are more than 18,000 km of waterways, which makes it the perfect destination for canal boats. Some canal boats can accommodate up to 12 people comfortably.
The rental of canal boats and pontoons are becoming more and more popular around the world. As of now, France is the world's leading destination in Europe. With over 6,000km of waterways to explore, you can find a region that suits your needs. For example, French canal boat rental is most popular in:
The canal of Nantes in Brest
Le canal du Midi
The Seine in Paris
SamBoat also offers a selection of canal boats in popular destinations abroad like Amsterdam.
To navigate canals, it is necessary to have an inland waterways navigation license if the power of the boat is greater than 6hp.This obligation does not apply in the rental of boats less than 15m, which have a lower horsepower. There are still several canal boats you can rent without a license. We suggest you contact us directly or the port authority to ensure that you have valid qualifications to rent a boat without skipper.
Samboat offers houseboat rentals for all of your trips including day excursions, nights on the docks, weekend with friends or river cruises. With the largest canal boat inventory in France and Europe, you'll be sure to find the boat that fits your project perfectly. Canal boat hires are available for a week or a simple night with friends and family, Samboat offers you a large selection with or without skipper. If you're looking for a different boat, try a catamaran, sailboat or even rent a motor boat.
