A hire-fleet name rather than a single shipyard
Le Boat is a hire-fleet brand in this catalogue, not the identity of one shipyard or hull type. Boats offered include the Horizon 1, Magnifique and Caprice. The officially described Horizon 1 has a forward main cabin, an upper deck and a saloon linked to the rear seating area by sliding glass doors. Smaller crews should compare separate cabins with extra saloon berths. This is an inland-waterway choice; the base and route-specific conditions matter more than the fleet name alone.
What the reviewers found
YBW editor Stef Bottinelli travelled aboard a Horizon 1 on the Canal du Midi and described its layout favourably for a group of three. Weather and a lock strike forced changes to the itinerary. This is the experience of one canal trip, not an assessment of service at every Le Boat base.

Before you charter
What is bareboat charter?
You charter the boat and provide your own suitably qualified skipper and crew. Qualification requirements vary by boat, operator and sailing area. We help check your documents and the charter terms for your chosen boat.
What will your charter cost?
The search price is the boat's charter price. The boat page lists known mandatory charges, optional extras and a separate security deposit. Review the complete offer for your dates; any costs still awaiting confirmation must be checked before booking.
