Le Boat Horizon 1 – Compact Luxury for Couples and Small Families
The Horizon 1 is the original model in Le Boat’s award-winning Horizon fleet — a modern, easy-to-handle cruiser designed specifically for first-time boaters, couples, and small families. With its thoughtfully designed layout, stylish interiors, and intuitive controls, the Horizon 1 offers everything you need for a comfortable and unforgettable self-drive boating holiday.
Despite its compact footprint, the Horizon 1 offers exceptional use of space:
One master cabin with a large double bed and en-suite bathroom
Second smaller cabin ideal for two children or one adult
Convertible saloon providing an additional sleeping area if needed
Spacious bathroom with a separate shower area
This makes the Horizon 1 perfect for 2 to 4 people, offering flexibility for couples traveling alone or with guests or children.

When the temperatures soar, our cabin air cooling system can help make your night’s sleep a little more comfortable. Air cooling uses canal/river water to produce cool air which is blown through the vents.
Please note: This is not the same as air-conditioning which can achieve lower temperatures and has a thermostatic control. Performance significantly reduces if canal/river temperature is too high.
