Boat holiday rentals in Europe

Let yourself be lulled by the enchanting calm of the sea air. Small, well-ordered, cozy space. Of course, you have to move a little on the pontoon to access the toilets (always clean and accessible only to sailors) or go to the captaincy to shower, but it is a choice and it is done very well. I slept really well.

We had a lovely stay with our son. It was a great experience. Sylvie is very welcoming and full of good advice. Very soon.

We had a lovely time staying on the boat. Sharon was really helpful from start to finish. Everything was set up for our stay and we had a great time. This trip was myself, my brother, and my Dad, so two of us used the bedrooms and one of us slept on the sofa bed in the living room. There were ample blankets, cushions, and pillows for all three beds. The amount of space on the boat was great for us. I think three single people was the right amount for the boat, or four people if they were both couples. We entertained ourselves with food and drink on the picnic bench above the deck, and watching TV below deck. There was a strong WiFi signal and the streaming services on TV worked fine. Being on the Trent meant it was easy to go for a walk. We must have covered 8 miles on Saturday, along the River and into a couple of villages. All in all, we had a great time and would love to stay again on the future.

Absolutely incredible stay! Warm, original and exceptional. Erwin is a perfect host. In addition to being a passionate person with lots of interesting life stories, he is very welcoming, friendly and cares about the well-being of his guests. The boat trip is not to be missed, a moment of pure serenity and relaxation. Great introduction to the world of boats through Erwin's experience and knowledge. We loved being able to sail on board his sailboat. Thank you Erwin for this wonderful experience!

A stay that did us good. Exotic. The stress of everyday life has been left in the parking lot! Thank you to Gilles for his welcome and the boat trip.

Ivan was a great host, extremely helpful, friendly and went the extra mile. We took the boat out for the afternoon, ivan was extremely knowledgeable about local history. definitely recommend Ivan, boat and location. This was our 14th European trip in the last 18 months and definitely the one we would recommend the most!

Just returned from wonderful eight nights on Nicola’s boat. We spent two nights each in Amalfi, Capri, Katera, and Castellammare di Stabia. The last place (home port) due to weather and niece’s delay. Nicola planned itinerary after we provided some basic input. Nicola does a lot more than just take you safely from port to port on his spotless boat. He shares his extensive knowledge of Italian history and the Amalfi coast while viewing towns/ancient ruins from the boat. He also recommends top sights and restaurants in each port—several of which don’t show up in any guide books. All were top notch and usually less crowded than the “name” places. We especially enjoyed the opportunity to be in big name ports like Amalfi and Capri after the last ferry left at the end of each day. You can really appreciate the difference without the hordes of people. We felt so fortunate that we could go back to the boat, watch the sunset and go out to dinner. Best trip ever—Book it!!!

Perfect accommodation. Charming and authentic place, with a special history. At the same time, the boat is well equipped, neat and comfortable. The owners are incredibly warm, flexible and easy to communicate with. Can definitely recommend this accommodation!

Staying on the boat was a lovely adventure. Thomas's welcome was also very friendly and accommodating. Unfortunately, it was very windy during our stay, which made it a bit noisy at night for me as a council member. However, the kids slept deeply and soundly. The location is fantastic. What made us spend the following day at the beach directly on site. Always happy 😊

Everything is perfect, the accommodation is as you see it in the photos and the managers are very kind, friendly and available for anything. Very close to the accommodation there is everything you need (parking, food, restaurants). I recommend it!!

My husband and I had a wonderful stay aboard this charming boat. It was cozy, comfortable, and thoughtfully set up, with clear instructions for things like the drawers, cabinets, and even the restroom faucet—which made everything easy to use. The boat was also well-equipped with everything we needed, including a fan, blankets, towels, dishes, utensils, a hot water heater, microwave, and hot plate. Ivo was incredibly responsive and flexible, making scheduling easy and promptly answering any questions we had. We were warmly welcomed by his wife Jenny at check-in, who gave us a detailed overview of both the boat and the marina. The marina itself, located in Parque das Nações in Lisbon, was a highlight—with beautiful walking paths, public art, scenic views, trails, a nearby supermarket, and great restaurants. A unique and memorable stay—we highly recommend it!

It was very, very nice at Miriam's. She was a great host and we'd love to come back

I had not sailed for many years so our break with Nello was an amazing way to get back into sailing. we had 4 days of amazing sailing including Amalfi, Capri, Positano and Sorrento. I would definitely recommend this type of break. Nello was very knowledgeable, experienced and a good host, giving us time to ourselves whilst also looking after us. thank you for some amazing memories, Doug and Jane

If I could give 10 stars I would. Josip and his family were amazing host. Not only did he pick us up from the airport, he and his wife made breakfast every morning and drove us to the store to get provisions as well as drive us to the marina for the second leg of our trip. They were extremely nice people who you would never know were there unless you needed ANYTHING! I would recommend Their home to anyone looking to stay in the area. Not to mention the pool was amazing and you are steps from the Sea. It was perfect! Thanks you for the wonderful vacation!

As a restaurateur with experience working in some of London’s top establishments—including the Four Seasons, Langan’s, and Michelin-starred venues—I’ve learned that what truly sets a place apart is its attention to detail. Every small element must align perfectly to create a seamless guest experience. Last night, I experienced just that. From start to finish, everything was absolutely spot on. The service was flawless, the organisation impeccable, and the welcome genuinely warm. Every aspect was clearly explained with care and professionalism—there wasn’t a single detail I could critique, not even constructively. It’s rare to encounter such consistency and excellence, and I cannot recommend this place highly enough. Thank you for your kindness, and for going above and beyond to make me and my family feel so well looked after. A truly outstanding experience.

We spent an unforgettable night on this magnificent sailboat in Corsica. The welcome was very warm: our hosts were lovely, very available and full of attention. The meal on board was delicious and the setting simply exceptional. The sailboat is very well maintained, comfortable, and the atmosphere on board was peaceful and friendly. Thank you so much for this beautiful parenthesis! We recommend this experience without hesitation.

Simon was a really lovely bloke and extremely helpful and attentive. The boat itself is gorgeous, spacious and relaxing. The local area is stunning and tranquil The boat house food was lovely and everyone we met was friendly and welcoming It felt like a lovely community of boat lovers and I really enjoyed being part of it for a night If you want a lovely couples get away from the stresses of family life then this is perfect A night felt like a week away and we will definitely be returning Thanks again Simon and Sharon for letting us stay on your beautiful boat. It was a pleasure Lee

This stay was amazing...from start to finish. The location was beautiful and so peaceful, check in was super easy. Brad was lovely and showed us round the boat. Have already recommended and would love to go back.

Amazing stay at the place ! Gaspard was really friendly

We had a great stay. We were 8 people and on the boat for 2 nights. We found everything we needed. The toilets and bathrooms were very clean and more than sufficient. The sleeping arrangements were also very comfortable. The only thing that didn't seem quite right to us was the ascent to the boat. Here you had to take a pretty big step every now and then to avoid ending up in the water. A small bridge or something similar would have been nice here. But overall, the boat is awesome and really well equipped! The hosts were also very communicative and friendly. Also easy to reach! Highly recommended!

What to say apart from compliments I enjoyed myself at all levels Welcome, location, tips, etc. Excellent

As a sales representative, I naturally look for hotels, but this time I was tempted by something more original. And it was simply the best idea I've had in a long time! Nicole is very responsive, accommodating, and the boat is a marvel. Great experience in this beautiful region. Hope to see you soon :)

Wonderful stay for 2 relaxing nights, the boat had everything we needed and was in a great position for Hebden Bridge very quirky, comfortable, and lovely canal side walks. Loved seeing the geese and ducks on the water. 10 minute walk up the bank and there was an enclosed dog field we booked which was useful for a free run. Although on the hillside. The area was stunning with pretty views and old world charm. Lots of independent businesses. Thanks so much for the hospitality we enjoyed it so much.

I’ve never stayed in a boat before, but I’m afraid I will do it more often in the future is all of them are as nice as this!
