Hi
I’m considering renting a canal boat for the Canal Du midi or Venice Lagoon? Anyone have any experience and knowledge of these routes ( or others) and which rental companies are best? I see there’s Le Boat, Locaboat, Nicola and others?
Any suggestions and recommendations?
Thanks, Jim
We have used LeBoat twice (Scotland and Ireland) and will use them again.
can a civilian even rent a boat in Venice? I'm betting no
Yes one can cruise the lagoon…. Not the main part of Venice but surrounding canals etc…..
Canal du Midi can look like bumper cars in busy seasons, with boats lined up for hours. I would choose a different canal or river. One September we rented from Locaboat, started at Agen on the Garonne Canal, then floated down the peaceful River Baise with seldom another boat in sight.
We rented from Locaboat on the Canal du Midi in September a few years ago. It was one of our most memorable trips. I would highly recommend it.
