The training guys were good and thorough and the boat was i good condition. It would have been good to have a list of the items for the boat we needed when arriving, as there is no place at the boat marina to purchase supplies and the only restaurant was closed. Thank goodness for the wine and water we could buy.

Terrific boat,plenty of room on board,very clean and good equipment. We were originally booked Argens Minervois to Negra. We were informed a month before that there was a building with potential to collapse at Trebs and would have to do an in and out of Negra. We were told by the staff at Negra when we picked up our boat that the canal was open, disappointing for us that you had not let us know or attempted to have us start on our original route.

We appreciate your understanding and hope to welcome you back for a seamless experience in the future.

Bijzondere ervaring op Le Canal Du Midi.
Goede ontvangst bij vertrek in Negra alsook instructie. De reis kende ik dus mijn verwachtingen werden ingelost. Bij aankomst in Argens: De boot moet voor 9 smorgens in de haven zijn terwijl de laatste sluis voor Argens slechts om 9u actief wordt. Daardoor moet je de avond ervoor al in Argens aankomen (zondag) Kantoren gesloten. Conclusie: alles heel fijn maar aankomsthaven was permanentie en uur van aankomst verlaten toch wel meer service geweest.

Hartelijk dank voor het delen van uw ervaring op het Canal du Midi. Fijn om te horen dat het ontvangst in Negra en de instructies naar wens waren.
We begrijpen uw opmerking over het inleveren van de boot in Argens vóór 9 uur, terwijl de laatste sluis pas om 9 uur opengaat en het kantoor op zondag gesloten is. We nemen uw feedback mee om te bekijken hoe we hier onze service kunnen verbeteren en meer flexibiliteit kunnen bieden.
We hopen u in de toekomst opnieuw te mogen verwelkomen voor een mooie vaarervaring.

Trip of a Lifetime
My husband and I spent an incredible 5 days in the south of France, trying local wines from each stop that we made and exploring the incredible towns along the canal. Our trip will be remembered for a lifetime! The staff at Locaboat were so helpful and informative! We loved our vacation!

Lovely trip
The boat was ready a bit early. We got all the bikes we needed. With the exception of sharp knives and enough TP, it was pretty well stocked. The fridge was cold when we picked it up and we bought ice ask week thinking it didn't work, but it was just a setting. Maybe if we'd gotten a response when we emailed, it could have saved us a lot of misery. The boat jacked well, and we were pretty comfortable.

We enjoyed the cruise in spite of some issues wtih the boat and lack of transportation at the last stop.
We enoyed our cruise. The boat's water system made a horrible noise that could wake someone up in the rear cabins. It needs attention. The boat seemed older and lacked any built-in seating in the upper deck-something we had before with a similar boat.
Lastly, we would not able to get any transportation from our last stop and we had to scramble to get off the boat a day early when the only taxi available was free. We moved into 4 hotel rooms. We should have been informed by the lack of services at Corbigny. We got help from the woman at Le Boat.
The canals were lovely and the locations were very satisfying.

We appreciate your feedback regarding the water system noise and the boat’s seating arrangements. We will pass your comments to our technical and fleet teams for review.
Regarding transportation at Corbigny, we apologize for the inconvenience caused by the limited services and the lack of prior information. We’ll work on improving our communication about such local details to better assist our guests.
Thank you again for your insights, and we hope to welcome you back for another enjoyable journey.

The staff at locaboat were all very friendly and helpful, when there was some issues with the boat, they responded quickly via phone and sent a technician within a couple of hour. The boat could benefit with more kitchen equipment, such as a microwave for reheating. Also more advice where toilet waste water can be emptied, as majority of these facilities were not working during our trip & this made it very stressful & uncomfortable on the boat

Thank you for your kind words about our team’s responsiveness and support — we’re glad we could assist quickly.
We appreciate your suggestion regarding kitchen equipment and will keep it in mind for future improvements.
Regarding the disposal of toilet waste water, please note that our bases have all been recently upgraded with new, modern facilities. We thank you for your feedback as it helps us ensure these installations are well-maintained and fully operational.
We hope to welcome you again soon for an even smoother experience!
Great holiday
As with a previous holiday with Locaboat, everything worked seamlessly. It transpired that the boat we hired was around 10 years old but as it’s maintenance had been done well everything worked just fine, a measure of the care and attention that this company pays to all that it does.

Thank you very much for your kind words and for choosing Locaboat again! We’re delighted to hear that the boat’s maintenance ensured everything worked seamlessly throughout your holiday.
We take great pride in caring for our fleet to provide the best possible experience, and your feedback means a lot to us.
We look forward to welcoming you back for another wonderful adventure on the water!
Failure to fix a fault spoiled an otherwise good service.
Generally service was good but this was marred by their inability to fix a key fault on the boat. As a result the boat had no heating unless we were hooked up to shore power. Had some very cold nights as a result.
5 maj 2025
Svar från Riverly
Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear about the heating issues you experienced due to the boat’s fault and understand how uncomfortable cold nights can be.
To help maintain the batteries’ charge, we generally recommend navigating at least 4 to 5 hours per day when not connected to shore power. This helps keep all systems running smoothly throughout your trip.
We appreciate your understanding and hope to provide you with a better experience on your next cruise.

Bit different from on a canal!
We've hired from Locaboat a few times and had expected to find a clean, tidy marina type setting, however their base at Cahors is run by Babou Marine in a working boatyard. Access is not immediately obvious as we initially drove past the entrance. As you would expect, a working yard had boats, bits of boats,vans and miscellaneous stuff lying around and we had to have the office pointed out. The car park is an uneven area of rough grass and despite the website stating the yard is secured around 20.00 hours, the gates are not closed. Steps from the car park to the quayside were covered in dead slippery leaves (but had been swept clean when we returned after a week) and much of the quayside was a muddy mess. Having said all that, the staff were lovely, made easier by some of them speaking English and were extremely helpful, particularly in resolving a small issue of our own making! The River Lot is spectacular, soaring cliffs giving way to cultivated fields. Not a lot of wildlife though we regularly saw kingfishers and red kites just hanging in the air. Locks were hard work but as there were few other boats about, there was no pressure to get through them. We quickly learned the trick of ensuring the latch from the sluice was properly engaged to ensure the gates opened properly. Some of the currents around the weirs made for challenging manoeuvring and previous experience certainly helped. The river was quiet but I'm not sure we'd want to be there in high season. All in all we had a great week and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.

Thank you very much for your detailed feedback. We appreciate your honesty about the facilities at our Cahors base operated by Babou Marine. We understand that the working boatyard environment and access can feel different from a traditional marina, and your comments about the car park and quayside conditions will be shared with Babou Marine to see how improvements can be made.
We are delighted that despite these challenges, our staff were able to assist you effectively and that you enjoyed the spectacular River Lot and your week overall. Your tips and observations about navigating the locks and currents will surely be helpful to future guests.
We hope to welcome you back for another great Locaboat experience—perhaps on one of our other bases with a different setting.
Our initial rental was terrible
Our initial rental was terrible. The boat heating system did not work. The boat was not fit to be rented. And apparently the team at Dompierre had no idea. We ran the boat for 5 hours in the rain, plugged in for the night and the starter battery was dead in the morning. The lead hand at D came and took the cabin apart to manually start the heater and got the boat started but the heater would not start on its own. The windshield wiper did not work and the battery check switch indicated dead batteroes. We left the boat in Decize and went to Joigny to get the new boat that was offered to us. The management at Joigny are great, friendly, helpful and sympathetic.
We had their oldest boat with a generator and electric drive and living on it was wonderful.
Steering and handling is a problem for all 1020FB as they have no directional stability especially in a cross wind or current. I have designed and piloted boats for 40 years and I found that our 1020 FB did not have any reserve power and the bow thruster was insufficient to counter river current especially going upstream into locks that are blessed with a vigorous back eddy. That said we treated our boat like a hotel room and parked it in Auxerre and took the train to the cities, towns and markets we wanted to visit. So on balance our trip was 90% great and the Dompierre staff should be given a close look as they should never have rented us that boat.

Thank you for sharing such a detailed review of your experience. We sincerely apologize for the issues you encountered with the initial boat, especially with the heating system and battery problems. We agree that this situation was far from ideal and appreciate your understanding and patience while the Dompierre team worked to assist you.
We’re glad to hear that the team at Joigny was able to provide you with a better vessel and that you enjoyed the comfort of the boat with the generator and electric drive.
Your feedback regarding the handling and steering of the 1020FB model is very valuable. We understand how important boat performance and safety are, especially when navigating challenging conditions. We will share your observations with our technical team to explore any possible improvements.
Thank you also for highlighting the positive aspects of your trip, including the opportunity to explore the region by train from Auxerre.
We truly appreciate your honesty and hope to welcome you back for an even better experience in the future.

Our Buzet experience
Our Buzet experience. The barge we rented was in desperate need of maintenance and the steering was very poor. Also the bedding needed dry cleaned as it was sweaty. Staff were very helpful though.
