Sorry I've only put "likely" on the last two questions. Your service was excellent but I meant to book direct with Locaboat, as we have in the past, but got confused as to which website I was looking at! We might well use you for other holidays though. Best Regards, Robin Lennox

Emma and the company are friendly, personal and professional. Can’t recommend them highly enough. Emma was brilliant when sadly, we had to cut our holiday short. We’ll be back!

Hello Emma, our 'captain' Mike Reynolds and his wife came up with some things to provide you that we concur with:
S Moffett. Canal du Midi
1) bowthruster (made navigating intight quarters easier);
2) flybridge (can't imagine having to steer from inside in such gorgeous weather, and all could gather in one spot for a great view); and
3) a well-outfitted galley.
We all appreciated Hotels Afloat responsiveness in all the emails that went back and forth!
Dear Emma,
I am sending this email to share with you our experience with Locaboat and the penichette. All was perfect!! It was a very nice experience for the whole family! We enjoyed the cruise, the places we visited, the boat, the service given by the Locaboat team, and everything! And during the organization, your help was very much appreciated.
Thanks for everything, kind regards,
Silvia
