Monday, July 15, 2024 To simplify boating for first-time cruisers, Le Boat, a leading provider of private boating vacations in Europe and Canada, has introduced its innovative Skipper for Hire program. “For many of our new customers, captaining a boat themselves is a new experience. All our boats are easy to drive, and no boat license or prior boating experience is required.
The Le Boat experienced base teams provide in-depth orientation, safety briefings, and hands-on training to ensure you’re fully prepared,” says Lisa McLean, Long Haul Marketing Manager for Le Boat . Committed to making boating accessible, Le Boat’s fleet is designed for ease of use and comfort. Each boat comes equipped with a steering wheel for directional control, a throttle for speed adjustments, and, in the Comfort Plus, Premier, and Luxury categories, bow and/or stern thrusters for easier maneuverability.
“Many of our North American guests have expressed interest in having a skipper available as the idea of piloting a boat for the first time can be daunting. In response to this feedback, our Skipper for Hire program aims to enhance the boating experience and provide unparalleled support to our valued guests,” Lisa McLean continues. “Whether you’re a novice or a seasoned cruiser, our skilled skippers are dedicated to helping our customers feel more confident and ensure their journey is stress-free and enjoyable.
