“This is fun for young people only. In the height of the season it's too hot and and the lunch is inedible. It was more like 9 hours in the end and the toilet had no water for washing hands. The benches were very hard to sit on and they have the gaul to come round and ask for a tip!”

“We had an absolutely wonderful day on this boat trip! Our group of 8 had the best time from start to finish. The crew were so friendly and always available whenever we needed anything. The boat was comfortable, spacious, and very well maintained.

We’d definitely to do it again!!!!”
