The training was excellent and well presented. The documentation and material was excellent. The boat was so well equipped and comfortable and the staff was so very friendly and helpful. We stopped in Portumna again a few days later and within 10 minutes they checked everything for us and filled up the boat with water and pumped out the black water. They even gave us more tips for the upcoming few days on where to stop and what to experience. The boat was so well equipped and comfortable and had everything we needed to make this a trip of a lifetime.

Good Day Francios, Thank you very much for you wonderful five-star review of your boating holiday on the River Shannon! We are so pleased to hear about your amazing experience with the training staff and how they excellently presented the training lessons, materials and documents to your and your group. We also are glad that when you return to Portumna for your fill up and pump outs that the staff were efficient and helped you easily get back on the water. We wouldn't expect less from our base team in Portumna, but it is fantastic to hear and we will pass this along to their team members. We look forward to welcoming you on board again soon!

First time hiring a boat. Would recommend early check in option if new to boating. Instructor had us at ease driving the boat and letting us know all the basics within an hour with some tips on places to go and see. Found the office personel very helpful and easy going. Enjoyed the new adventure but there was a lot to learn in a short space of time. Already looking forward to our boating holiday next year. As a holiday fantastic! Our time on the water passed so quickly so already planning a longer adventure next year!
