Languedoc canal boating

Canal boat hire and rentals in Languedoc

It was the British who pioneered canal boating on Languedoc's canals many decades ago, as the French have never taken to canal boating with quite the same gusto. As a result, there are many canal boat rental companies (most of which are British-based ) operating on the Canal du Mid, Canal de la Robine and Canal Rhone-Sete. So you'll find there's plenty of choice of canal boat rental and competition, keeping standards high and canal boat hire prices low.

Expect to pay from about €700 in the low season for a 4-person canal boat, to over €4,000 for larger canal boats in Languedoc's high season. We've listed all the canal boat hire companies on the Canal du Midi and other Langedoc canals below, with links to their website where you can get full price lists and descriptions of all their boats.

Below, we list those companies, giving a very general idea of their canal boat hire prices - by quoting low and high season rates for both a cabal boat accommodating 4 people, and one that sleeps 8. Please remember that the quality and comfort levels of canal boats for hire does vary quite a bit - so it's worth visiting their websites to see what canal boats they have for rent.
