great experience starting from the booking on the site web until the final check out. We liked the patience of the lady at the reception, the free early check in, and the advises from the trainer. Even with very young crew, the experience was a real pleasure, with some challenges time to time, mainly to park the boat at the evening time. Will be back soon for sure.

All interactions with staff around booking, reception, check in and readiness of boat were excellent. Very enjoyable experience, somewhere new every day. Nothing as relaxing as taking a boat down the Shannon or across one of the lakes.

Plenty, timely and useful information prior to the trip to remind about safety videos, useful tips, even shopping and preloading the boat. At the Carrick station the staff were excellent as usual (it isn't our first trip) and sad to hear, but the best wishes on retirement for our favorite Lady from Germany that we always looked forward to meeting. Petr was his usual self on the trial run of the cruiser with tricks on how to handle the cruiser Brilliant. Weather reports for the weekend were bad to very bad but turned out to be excellent. Irish weather!! But only one short spell of rain on the last morning's trip to berth at Carrick
