My husband and I had no boating experience but have lived in and around the Rideau Canal and the lakes of Ontario for many years without any real way to access them and travel on them. Le Boat made our dream come true! We celebrated our 20th anniversary by learning to pilot a boat and travel through the beautiful lakes and rivers. We stayed overnight moored to out of the way islands and by quaint little towns that you cannot easily see or get to from roads. We had fun cooking in the boat kitchen and enjoying coffee while the sun rose and tea while the sun set, just outside the big boat windows. Best of all we were not anxious about the boat or operating it due to the excellent preparation and training we received from the Le Boat staff at Smiths Falls. Troy gave us the details upon arriving at the office, Igor introduced us to the boat and was a patient instructor for us new boat pilots and Mike helped us get underway. Lock staff were also super friendly and helpful along the way. Fellow Le Boat boaters and other boaters were also fun to chat with. Special thanks goes to Igor for his great training and alleviating our fears when we called him while on tour with our questions!
