Riverly Reviews 

This is a company who rent boats out to people often with no experience. All well and good UNTIL something happens and then….? We are the victims of a hard collision to our boat moored in Aigues Mortes 9 June. Some damage caused but as yet no decision made for reparation, or, compensation. We should not have to keep contacting this company. We are not impressed! To make a further update. We have spoken to the company and although they cannot release anyone to make the repair they are compensating us so we can take charge of having the damage repaired. That is fair. Thank you

We rented a boat on Canal Du Midi for 1 week end of April 2026. The Riverly people was very friendly and helpful. I thank them very much. Everything was fine except the refuelling payment at boat return. Our route was Argens Minervois-Beziers-Narbonne-Argens Minervois. this route is roughly 160 km. With 8km/hour canal speed limit, our 10m boat would consume max 40 liter in 160 km. Let's say 50 liter. The price of diesel in France was EUR 2.20/liter. So in total refuelling should have been EUR 88, let's say 100 EUR. You wouldn't imagine what they charged us: EUR 700. Yes read it right: seven hundred euros! This is robbery.
I strongly advise you to negotiate on refuelling price.

An incredible experience on a large and beautiful E400 boat. We were greeted and instructed by very kind and helpful staff. We spent a wonderful weekend enjoying the landscapes along the river. My husband has a motorboat license and handled it well; however, in my opinion, it’s important to have at least some basic boating skills, since passing through the locks can be quite challenging — they are very narrow.

We loved our boat , the route along the canal du Nivernais , the friendly people at the locks and just having this kind of relaxing holiday with family !

The experience is wonderful, T
the canal is beautiful, rich in vegetation, and well-organized.
The boat worked well but was very old, and I didn't like:
-no Wi-Fi included,
-no hairdryer or body wash products, -some mattresses on the loungers were larger than the container and tended to be slanted, causing back pain.
- Telephone assistance wasn't always available when needed.

the Locaboat is the best company with the best boats, but their latest net site is lousy.
The place to change the language is at the bottom, a long scroll away. The notifications pop up in French.
Finding stuff is much more difficult in this new site.
Why make changes just for making changes?

TRES BONNE EXPERIENCE
A REFAIRE

Service au top au port!

Excellent service

Paid EUR 440 for having our 2 cars transferred to the arrival station in Negra 7 days later, however on arrival there were no cars.
When calling the departure station we were told the cars had left the parking and would arrive shortly. It was a one hour drive. They arrived 6 hours later so we were obviously lied to.
As a result our guests lost their flight out of Toulouse.
No apology or compensation were offered.

Super très propre super romain merci à tous

Service impeccable, super weekend!

First experience with LocaBoat very good (2017). Second experience (2019) poor. Very disappointed with one of the boats (3 boats rented for a family holiday for 16 people), poor state of repair, and the cleanliness of the boat left much to be desired. Uneven, splintered floors, broken fridge, and a cupboard that smelt of sewerage left us disappointed and will not be using LocaBoat in the future.
Also beware of using certain cards to pay for the possible damage, they blocked 500E on our card and we were unable to use it for the rest of the holiday and we had difficulty getting the amount refunded, although the was no damage to the boats!
