Enter our competition and you could win a week’s holiday for you and five friends
Ready to explore the UK from the water? The Simple Things has teamed up with Le Boat, Europe’s number one self-drive boating holiday company, to give you the chance to win an unforgettable seven-night holiday for up to six people aboard your choice of a Value Boat or Comfort Boat. No experience or licence required! Le Boat’s expert team will show you everything you need to know before you set off, so you can relax and enjoy from the very first moment.
Picture this: mornings on deck watching the world ease by at your own pace. Discover the UK’s charm on the River Thames, passing quaint villages, cosy waterside pubs and rolling green countryside. With the freedom to stop when and where you like, you can moor up whenever something catches your eye. Explore a historic town, take a riverside walk, enjoy a slow lunch, or simply stay aboard and savour the stillness.
Or choose something truly spectacular and explore Scotland’s rugged beauty. Navigate its legendary lochs and the majestic Caledonian Canal, framed by soaring mountains, mirror-calm water, and rich local history. Every bend brings a new view, a new story, a new moment to remember.
Your boat will be your floating home for the week: comfortable, spacious and easy to handle, with everything you need for relaxed, stress-free cruising. With space for up to six people, it’s perfect for families, friends, or anyone craving time together in nature, away from the rush.
And with Le Boat’s trusted support team by your side throughout your holiday, you can simply focus on what matters: freedom, connection, and discovering a new perspective of England and Scotland.
