Explore Ontario’s Canals

June 22, 2020

Looking for a unique way to explore Canada? The Rideau Canal is one of Ontario’s best kept secrets to navigate by houseboat. Le Boat’s luxury houseboat rentals are built for the novice boater in mind. No previous boating experience or boating license required! The company provides recommended itineraries for a 3 to 5-night short break or a 7 to 10+ night vacation. The canal is a beautiful waterway of private islands, sandy beaches, protected wetlands, peppered with small artisan villages along the way. The 125 miles of continuous waterway stretches from Kingston to Ottawa and is a vast network of lakes, rivers and canals, all connected by a historical lock system. Your boat rental includes a fully equipped kitchen, private en-suite bathrooms with showers in every cabin and a top deck with sunshade and BBQ; a perfect setting to relax or stargaze. Also enjoy fishing, kayaking, biking, swimming, hiking and more along the way. Currently rentals from July-October 2020 are 10% off when booked by the end of June. Boats are thoroughly cleaned at the end of each use and reservations can be canceled up to 48 hours prior to departure for great flexibility.  Currently borders are closed through July 21 for driving into Canada, but airports are open.
