About this property
Unique cruise of several days with Houseboat on Loire
Welcome on board our "Toue Cabanée", Loire's traditionnal boat, totally equiped, with home comforts. The boat is based in Saint Florent le Vieil, in Summertime, a charming little place, and in Ancenis in Wintertime. (November to April)
You could also benefit from our charter option with Captain (make sure the Captain is available !). 60€ per hour, including Captain and fuel.
We also propose, to make your trip unforgettable, with our unique cruises of several days with stop-overs. The captain will be there to handle the boat (approximately 3 hours cruising per day). You are free to do as you wish during the stop-overs. Many route are proposed between Angers and Nantes. A very original and exotic holiday, in the heart of the great river ! 180€ per cruise day (with approximately 3 hours cruise time), including Captain, fuel, and the Captain’s expenses.
During the cruise, relax, eat in the middle of the river, read, play with your children, make a stop in a tavern, or on sandbank ! You will discover nature, and the Loire's secrets with your Captain, Fabien.
The stop-overs are selected, to provide you easy access to the area, on foot or bike. There is a road book on the boat, with maps and guides for places to visit, shops, bars and restaurants. Two folding bikes are available for you on the boat.
NB : The boat is very stable. No mosquito, because the water is not stagnant. But, presence of spiders, who appreciate this natural area.
