We had a fantastic time on the river Shannon and Erne

Yes we had a fantastic time on the river Shannon and Erne. My Grandson loved the locks ( even though they WERE automated ), so we went up and down a few times???! Everything went well and I'd like to thank you for all your help with our booking.

Brian & Maria Martin, Galway, Ireland

We were very lucky with the weather and had a great time on board.

We were very lucky with the weather and had a great time on board. We were very satified with the conmfort on the boat and your services. Since one of our friends was ill and couldn't join us, we are thinking of doing the trip over again next year ( but on the upper Shannon or Erne). I'll contact you next year! Kind regards, Frans

Frans Peeters, Belgium

We will definitely go again

Yes, we had a great time. The weather was a little hit and miss but everything else was excellent. The people in Carrick were very helpful and the boat was great ( Probably go for a bigger one next time ). We will definitely go again and I will contact you when this happens. Thanks for all the help.
