Tango, built in 1931, initially navigated on the canals of North Eastern France. In the 1950's she sailed South and was shortened to 100 feet to fit the Canal du Midi to transport grain between the Atlantic and Mediterranean ports. Commercial barging ceased in the 1970's, when Tango was retired in a small canal-side village. French born Tango Captain, Daniel Sak, had seen the barge abandoned as a child when navigating with his mother and always said it would be the only barge he would ever want to own. In the year 2000 that dream came true, now he has lovingly converted her into a deluxe charter barge for up to six guests.

Daniel continues the family tradition of excellence in barging, an experienced pilot, he also oversees the culinary details of your cruise, selects the wines, and makes sure the overall experience of your week on board more than meets your expectations.

Tango's décor is a delight in all its details. Large opening brass portholes throughout the vessel and opening skylights provide fresh circulating air and light. French art deco fixtures, provencal ivory linens, and rich teak wall panelling recreate an atmosphere of the 1930's French passenger liners. Up on deck, two terraces provide alfresco dining and a sundeck with hot tub. Here on the right is the large salon with yellow leather sofas, bar and dining room.

Comfortable cabins with ensuite baths can be made up with twin or Queen beds. The Van Gogh cabin, pictured here, is one of the most spacious cabins on the Canal du Midi. All cabins on Tango can be made up with twin or queen beds.
