The Le Boat Horizon 2 combines contemporary design with a smart, spacious layout, offering a relaxed and stylish cruising experience for couples, families or friends. Part of our Premier range, it’s designed so your accommodation travels with you — delivering hotel-like comfort while you explore beautiful waterways and charming waterside towns.

Light-filled interiors, premium finishes and flexible sleeping arrangements make it easy to feel at home on board, whether you’re enjoying time together or finding a quiet moment to unwind. Outside, the generous upper sundeck creates the perfect space for open-air dining, socialising and soaking up the view as the landscape gently drifts by.

NO EXPERIENCE REQUIRED: You don't need any previous boating experience or licence to drive our boats—in fact, most of our guests are complete beginners; before you set off, our friendly base team provides a full hands-on briefing and practical demonstration where you’ll be shown everything you need to know to handle the boat safely and confidently, and we ensure you feel completely comfortable before leaving the marina.

ARRIVAL AND RETURN: Please arrive at our base between 3pm–5pm for check-in and a pre-departure briefing, after which you’re likely to leave the dock between 4pm–6pm—on the final day, you should return and vacate the boat by 9am.

FUEL: Before you set off, you'll need to leave an Fuel Deposit in local currency and then, at the end of your cruise, your Fuel Charge will be calculated based on the number of hours your engine has been running—you'll either be refunded the difference or asked to pay for any excess hours used (the hourly charge is estimated to be between £14-£28 / €12-€34 depending on boat type and usage).

DAMAGE DEPOSIT: You'll need to pay a refundable Damage Deposit at the base before you begin cruising which will be retained (in part or in full) when you return your boat; IF the boat or any of its equipment or inventory that has been damaged or lost, you will not have to pay more than the deposit collected. 

DAMAGE RISK REDUCTION: The amount of Damage Deposit required, and thus your liability, may be significantly reduced by purchasing a non-refundable Damage Risk Reduction, which can be purchased at the base when you pick up your boat.

ABOUT THE REGION:
Your boating holiday begins in Port Cassafières, a relaxed and sunny starting point on the Canal du Midi, just moments from the Mediterranean coast. From the moment you step aboard, the canal becomes your route through southern France, offering a peaceful contrast to the bustle of nearby beaches.

Cruising from Port Cassafières allows you to explore the UNESCO‑listed Canal du Midi at its most varied, passing vineyards, historic locks and lively canal‑side villages. You can head towards Béziers and the famous Fonserannes staircase locks, and then on to the charming village of Le Somail. You may also have time to branch off southwards on the Embranchement de la Nouvelle to visit the historic Roman city of Narbonne, with its impressive cathedral, canalside atmosphere and rich heritage. The blend of southern French culture, rich history and slow‑paced boating makes this region ideal for relaxed days on the water and memorable evenings ashore.

AVAILABLE EXTRAS AND ACTIVITIES:

• Bike hire available from our base (to take on board with you)

• Parking available (for additional fee)

• Wi-Fi packs available (for additional fee)

• Swimming in the canal is not permitted, although there are some nearby lakes and swimmingareas
