Private day cruise on Canal du Midi
Experience hosted by Kate
6.5 hours
Includes food, drinks
Up to 6 people
Hosted in English, French
What you'll do
After boarding we will cruise gently upstream taking in the stunning scenery and beautiful villages along the way. With only your group (maximum of 6) onboard, there is plenty of room to move around the boat and partake in a spot of sunbathing along the way, or just relax and enjoy the trip. Comfortable chairs at the front of the boat are the best way to enjoy the wonderful ambience. I will talk about the amazing history of this ancient UNESCO World Heritage site enroute. A delicious 3 course homemade lunch, chosen from a short menu the day before, will be served onboard, plus snacks and your choice of drinks. There will be very low bridges to negotiate, and possible wine tasting at the wine cave in Ventenac. At the end of the day you will leave feeling fully relaxed, in awe of the Canal and with new friends (hopefully!).

I have been a hostess and tour guide for 20 years, mostly in Africa. I love meeting people and I am a very good home cook, so aim to provide delicious meals onboard. I am a qualified boat handler and have the CEVNI qualification for French waterways, and love boating.

Not sure of the appropriate words to choose! Fantastic and amazing first that come to mind! More than enjoyable! Was like being on an event with new friends! Only wish we could have driven boat and let them chill! Company, food,drinks all top notch! Stories,jokes, and info gave us a new insight about lots of things! We asked questions and so did they? If like was only full of experiences like this we would be fulfilled! Thanks for the great time and we will try to enjoy rest of our trip! Merci!

Fabulous hosts for a fabulous day in canal du midi!
We really enjoyed our day with Kate & Ferdi. it was a great way to experience Canal du Midi aboard our own private boat! All the food was excellent - homemade by Kate herself - we not only enjoyed a great meal better than most restaurants - but Kate had prepared home made hummous with local olives as an aperitif - the wine was local, enjoyable and plentiful. After lunch we stopped for wine tasting before enjoying more wine on our return journey!
I can’t recommend this day trip out enough!
