The measure of good service is not in never having problems, its how problems are dealt with. We had a couple of minor issues, caused by the previous boat users, which were out of Emerald Star's control but they went out of their way to make sure it was all rectified. The staff in Portumna were extremely helpful, friendly and a pleasure to deal with Highly recommended for a family holiday

Excellent welcome, introduction and information. Vessel in excellent condition. Overall first class and made for a perfect few days out on the Shannon. A classic lady of the Shannon. Well laid out, appointed and plenty of room. A little hard to handle in tight spaces if windy if the particular vessel has no bow thruster which our one did not. However, this is being picky as the vessel was fantastic.

Very good service with regard to the running of boat and the instructions given. I would just suggest that they should use large deep bottom fitted sheets on beds and also should provide a top sheet or advise customers to bring their own sheets if preferred. I personally don’t like buttons on duvet covers so I would advise fasteners on duvet covers instead. (I have a button fobia!). The sheets were way too short for the double beds. I think the Company should provide a 3 night hire deal during the week. We picked up boat on Monday at 4pm and returned it to Portumna on Thursday evening at 7pm but as such we’re charged up until Friday morning at 9am. 3 nights experience is enough for a first time on boat. We will go again and cruise up towards the Erne waterway next time please god. Thanks Mary Lovely experience on river Shannon

Unbelievable value, incredibly friendly and helpful staff with a special mention of Sarah at reception and Timmy who gave us an instruction. Thanks to all for an unforgettable weekend. I would highly recommend a boat rental from Le Boat for a fantastic experience and a lot of fun memories. We went out on Lough Derg from Portumna to GarryKennedy about 2/3rds of the way down Lough Derg. Beautiful scenery, swimming, fishing, and fun on the water.

Le Boat were fantastic to deal with. Everyone we dealt with from the booking, check-in/out staff and office staff were professional and approachable. We were given ample training and safety information. The boats themselves were ideal. We rented three Shannon Stars. They were spacious and comfortable. Everything worked perfectly and the sleeping facilities were very comfortable. I could not recommend a holiday with Emerald Star/Le Boat more highly Comfortable, spacious, clean and very manageable on the water.

The whole experience was fantastic from start to finish. The man instructing on how to operate the boat was very informative and made us feel very welcome. The Shannon itself was Breathtaking. Really looking forward to our next trip. Much better than any sun holiday in my opinion
