About the company

As Europe & Canada's No. 1 boating vacation company, our 50 years of know-how ensures that you’re in good hands with Le Boat. We know that our continued success depends on giving you the best service, boats and cruising destinations, and we do. We offer the world’s largest fleet of canal boats and the widest choice of beautiful boating holidays in Europe & Canada!

How it all began

In 2019 Le Boat is delighted to celebrate our 50th birthday. We have been boating along French waters since the late 60’s, and are proud to have come a long way from humble beginnings.

Our history can be traced back to the English entrepreneur, Michael Streat, who in 1969 founded Blue Line with just eight boats. Over the years Michael Streat’s original company was able to grow and expand, but one common theme that has remained is a desire to provide our customers the best boating vacations out there!

The Le Boat you see today is actually a combination of three historic companies, Crown Blue Line (originally Blue Line), Connoisseur, who started as a boat builder on the Norfolk Broads, and Emerald Star in Ireland. Over the years these companies brought together their decades of waterway experience to form Le Boat in 2007.

Working for LeBoat is all about passion

Le Boat is the most exciting business I have ever worked in for so many fantastic reasons. The key to running a successful business is making sure that you are surrounded by the very best people and I am incredibly proud of our great Le Boat Team around the world. It’s a business run by passionate people from the bottom to the top of the Le Boat ladder.
