Self-drive boating holidays redefined A new agreement between Le Boat and Groupe Beneteau under their Delphia brand in Poland will see Europe’s largest boat rental company invest over £100m into its international fleet over the next ten years. The deal will ensure travellers have an even greater range of options to choose from when planning their self-drive boating holidays and provides innovation to the current charter market as it stands. Of the 400 new Delphia boats slated to be built over the coming decade for Le Boat, 100 will be made in the next three years, including at least 25 in 2025. These orders will be a combination of the current Horizon range, plus 34 of a premium new one to two cabin boat, aptly named “Liberty” which will be launched in 2025. As part of the Luxury range, designed for premium comfort, these new superior boats will be found on the canals and water ways of France including, Brittany, Lot, Alsace, Burgundy, Loire-Nivernais, Midi and the Camargue as well as the Thames, Germany and the Netherlands.

Air travel is now going to the dogs — but in style.Bark Air, a new airline designed completely for pups, recently made its inaugural flight from New York to Los Angeles. The service currently operates limited routes servicing New York, Los Angeles, Paris, and London. The airline is encouraging people to suggest future routes through an online form. A one-way ticket from New York to Los Angeles costs $6,000 and a one-way ticket from New York to London costs $8,000. From New York, the airline operates out of a private airport in Westchester County, and flies to the Van Nuys airport outside of Los Angeles. “We are excited to take the insights we’ve learned over the years to create an experience that is truly dog-first, which is drastically different from just accepting dogs – from the ground to the skies,” Bark’s CEO Matt Meeker said in a statement.
