The Continentale is a motor boat from Le Boat. Le Boat is not a shipyard but Europe's largest inland charter operator, trading under this name since 2001 and descended from the Blakes and Crown Blue Line fleets. Its boats are classed by its own names - Horizon, Vision, Classique - and built to its specification for licence-free hire. The hull measures about 12.8 metres. It sleeps up to 6.
Adriavela lists 22 boats of this model. They were built between 1983 and 1999, so the layout and the equipment differ from one hull to the next. The hulls here carry 3 cabins and 6 berths.
They leave from bases up and down the coast, Saint-Jean-de-Losne, Saint Gilles and Hesse among them. Under power the day is planned by distance rather than by wind, which suits a group working through a lot of coast in a week.
