SMITHS FALLS, ON — A new agreement between Le Boat and Groupe Beneteau under their Delphia brand in Poland will see Europe’s largest boat rental company invest over £100 million into its international fleet over the next 10 years. Le Boat says the deal will ensure travellers have an even greater range of options to choose from when planning their private boat rental vacation, and provides innovation to the current charter market as it stands. Of the 400 new Delphia boats slated to be built over the coming decade for Le Boat, 100 will be made in the next three years, including at least 25 in 2025.
These orders will be a combination of the current Horizon range, plus 34 of a premium new one to two cabin boat, named ‘Liberty’, which will be launched in 2025. The two companies will also be developing a new industry-leading three-to-four cabin model for launch in 2027. This new model will be designed in collaboration with Le Boat and will have both private and charter variants; the charter version will be exclusive to Le Boat.
They will include full air conditioning, a superior fly bridge and provide the most premium boating experience on the waterways, according to Le Boat. To cater for the growing popularity of Le Boat’s ownership program, the agreement will also enable customers to invest in the new top-of-the-range boats. The program allows owners to receive guaranteed income while taking on average 14 weeks’ holiday every year on their own boat, or a sister boat .
