Le BoatLe Boat, worldwide leaders in boat rental vacations, are excited to announce the addition of six new Horizon Plus boats arriving this March to their fleet on the UNESCO World Heritage Rideau Canal. The addition of these brand-new boats brings Le Boat’s fleet to 30 boats for the 2022 season set to open on May 20, Victoria Day Long Weekend. It also coincides with the company’s 5th anniversary of sailing the UNESCO World Heritage Site of the Rideau Canal in Ontario, Canada.

“We are so delighted to start our 2022 season with a much more positive outlook than we’ve had in previous years and the addition of the new Horizon Plus boats shows the amazing growth and continued interest we have had,” said Managing Director of Le Boat, Cheryl Brown. “With the worst of the pandemic hopefully behind us, travel confidence is steadily returning and bookings are flooding in once more. It feels so good to be preparing our boats and bases to open with more certainty.”

New Boat Features

Le Boat CraneThe Horizon Plus models are identical in build, layout and quality to the standard Horizon fleet, however, have a few additional features to elevate the customer experience. The additional features of these brand-new boats include hotel-quality mattresses with memory foam, premium cushions on the sun deck and smart TVs capable of streaming all your favourite streaming services.

Boat Ownership Program Expands Across North America

The brand new Horizon Plus boats join the expansion of Le Boat’s ownership program into Canada as exciting additions to the opening of the 2022 boating season in Canada. The Boat Ownership Program enables committed cruisers to enjoy boating season in 9 different cruising regions in Canada and Europe, while creating substantial savings and makes owing a boat simple and worry free.

The Le Boat ownership program is similar to a ‘time-share’ or boat share programs and is suitable for travellers who enjoy boating more than once a year and is an affordable alternative. Le Boat covers all the cost of boat maintenance, dockage, off season storage and provide ongoing maintenance and look after it like one of our own – at no extra cost to boat owners. Owners will enjoy 10 weeks of Cruising in both Canada & Europe each year and receive a return of six percent of the boat’s purchase value per month. Le Boat offers a guaranteed buy-back of 50 percent of the initial cost after a seven-year period, meaning that travellers know their exit value and options from the beginning.

Glomex TV

Televisions on a boat are increasingly commonplace. With the simple-to-install Glomex Avior VT300 Omnidirectional TV/FM antenna from GA Communications, it's never been easier to bring analog and digital broadcasts onboard—at a price that's hard to ignore.

The most noticeable feature of the Avior VT300 antenna is its compact white, anti-yellowing radome. At only 4" dia. x 8" H and 8.8 oz., it's specifically made for smaller boats that can't accommodate large TV antenna domes and only need short range reception, depending on height and conditions. The amplifier allows the antenna to have an increase in gain with a 24.5 dB average to receive vertical and horizontal polarized TV signals simultaneously from 360°.
