This is our 5th trip using Locaboat
This is our 5th trip using Locaboat - 3 in France, one in Netherlands and one in Ireland
We are a family of 3 - love everthing about the boat. The bicycles, the accommodation, touring and especially the ease of booking, collecting and dropping boat - makes for awesome holidays!

Thank you so much for your continued trust and loyalty.
We’re thrilled to hear that your family enjoys every aspect of the experience, from the bikes and the boat to the booking and handover process. Creating smooth and memorable holidays is exactly what we aim for.
We look forward to welcoming you on board again for your next adventure!
Well run company
The team at Locaboat St Leger Sur Dheune were very helpful. They spoke good English which was a relief. They were able to communicate with the Lock keepers for us until our French got better.
Unfortunately for us we were unable to take the route we wanted toward Chagny due to a leaking canal and that was disappointing. We would have changed our booking if we had taken out insurance. The route we had to take had so many Locks up to 5m.
The boat was comfortable and clean.
The bikes that you can hire are not easy to ride so do not expect to go far on them.
It isn't an easy place to get to without a car but the company helped us by organising a taxi pickup from the train station. (cash needed)

Thank you for taking the time to share such detailed feedback. We're delighted to hear that our team in St-Léger-sur-Dheune was helpful and made communication easier at the start of your trip — especially while you were settling in with the language.
We’re sorry to hear that you couldn’t take your preferred route due to canal maintenance. Unfortunately, waterway conditions can sometimes change, but we understand how disappointing this must have been.
We're glad you found the boat clean and comfortable, and we appreciate your comments about the bikes and access logistics — this helps us improve the experience for future travellers.
We hope to have the chance to welcome you again under better cruising conditions!
It was a beautiful area of France
It was a beautiful area of France . The boat was a great way to see it slowly . Boat was well equiped . We only had one issue the day before leaving we lost the bow thrusters and it was a Sunday so we had to call the emergency help line and he did not speak English and I didn’t speak French so he kept hanging up on me . But we got back without them .

Thank you for your feedback. We're so pleased to hear that you enjoyed exploring this beautiful region of France at a relaxed pace, and that you found the boat well equipped for your journey.
We're sorry about the difficulty you experienced with the bow thrusters and the language barrier when calling our emergency line. That’s certainly not the level of support we aim to provide, and your comment has been shared with the team to help us improve communication in these situations.
Despite this, we're glad you were able to return safely, and we hope to welcome you back on board for an even smoother experience next time.

Thank you for your feedback and for choosing to cruise with us.
We’re glad you enjoyed the experience, and we truly admire your spirit in taking on this kind of adventure. While our cruises are open to all ages, we do recommend that at least two people on board are in good physical condition, as some tasks — such as handling locks or mooring — can be a bit demanding.
We hope to welcome you again soon for another relaxing journey!

Overall Great Experience
We had a great vacation with Locoboat from/to their Joigny base. Booking was easy, agent was helpful and responsive.
The checkin process was quick though it was odd that I had taken the time to complete forms 2x regarding wanting bikes and WiFi but it seems this was new information. The boat check in friendly and thorough.
The boat itself was great. It was a good size for 6 people. It was very clean and well equipped. The power switch for the bow thruster did not work correctly; it took two quick presses to turn it on. Our only other real concern was that there were no screens on the windows and no fans. We were there in late May/early June. Renting in true summer must be very hot and buggy.
We enjoyed a leisurely, out/back trip with short days on the water. The recommended itinerary is to get to Auxerre on day 1 - that’s 11 locks, 6+ hours. That’s a lot for the first day! And finding a mooring in Auxerre can be difficult. We enjoyed Gurgy instead on our first night.
When we returned to Joigny, there was only one very tight slip left that we needed to reverse into. Even with our extensive boating experience, it was a challenge. We got no assistance from the dockhands and I think newer boaters would have needed it.
We rented 4 bicycles. Don’t miss the short ride to Bris-le-Vineux and the Goisot wine tasting in their caves. Though the bikes were in good condition they were SO heavy. We saw much nicer bikes on some Le Boat boats… though many Le Boat boats were not as nice as the Locoboat boats.
Overall, it was a great experience.

Thank you for your detailed feedback and for choosing Locaboat for your trip from Joigny.
We’re glad you enjoyed the boat, its cleanliness, and the biking opportunities — the Goisot wine tasting sounds like a great highlight!
Regarding the bow thruster switch and the lack of window screens or fans, we understand these aspects can impact comfort; while screens aren’t currently part of our equipment, we appreciate your comments and will keep them in mind.
About docking assistance, our base team is always available by phone to support you if needed — don’t hesitate to reach out next time!
We also take note of your points on the itinerary pacing and mooring spots to help future guests plan better.
Thanks again for sharing your experience, and we hope to welcome you back soon for another wonderful cruise.
Our Locaboat journey from Corbigny to Joigny
We had the most amazing week on our Penichette 1020. It had everything we needed on board. We included 2 bikes as well, which were fantastic, we did 3 or 4 bike rides each day. The instruction we got at the start was very brief, and probably not detailed enough, as the boat was actually not that easy to steer. The lock keepers along the way were wonderful, very friendly and helpful. We moored in some beautiful little villages, although some of the electricity boxes at the dock didn't work. Would have been nice to know ahead of time. Overall, a most amazing journey

We loved our time on the Canal du Midi
We loved our time on the Canal du Midi and the little Penichette Evolution was a dream.
The locaboat employees were all very helpful and welcoming. We just wish that our orientation had talked a bit about the locks and how to handle the boat in the locks. Once we figured that out it was all fine but the first day or so was quite stressful.

Thank you for your kind words about your time on the Canal du Midi and for your compliments about our team.
We appreciate your feedback regarding the lock handling instructions. We do explain how to navigate the locks during the orientation, but we’re sorry if this wasn’t detailed enough to make the first day easier. We’ll take your comments on board to improve this part of the briefing.
We’re glad you enjoyed the rest of your cruise and hope to welcome you again soon.

Cruising in Brittany
This was our 7th trip on the canals with Locaboat. This time we hired a Penicette Evolution for the Brittany canal. As expected the experience from booking to undertaking the cruise was easy and seamless. Although we had a few issues with electricity onboard we enjoyed the cruise and found staff were helpful and responsive to try to resolve these issues.
