The staff at the dock were so friendly and helpful. The guy who was my instructor, Frank, was brilliant at putting me at ease as it was my first time, and he explained everything so well. The lock-keepers were so friendly and helpful too. The check in and check out were fast and stress free.
I would recommend a trip on the Shannon with the le boat team to anyone.
A special mention too for the staff of Shannon River Cruises. I booked through them and they are a brilliant company to deal with.
I will certainly be booking again!! This is a big boat! Lots of space so it was very comfortable. It was spotlessly clean, easy to drive and we slept very well on board.

Excellent service as usual from the team at Carrick from check in to the return of the boat. Friendly and efficient. Had a few friends from Croatia on the boat, their first time, and great weather. Great fun in Cox's bar in Dromod. In the Shannon Star, a great old lady of the river, roomy and well able for the few windy days on the lakes. The development of electricity supplies at harbors, the facility of a shower base at Carrick (and places like Leitrim Harbor and Dromod as well) all add to the general feeling of a good trip. Not as "fancy" as some of the newer boats but a great lady of the river. Smoother on the water on windy days than the smaller boats yet still easy to navigate entrances like at Dromod's new harbor. Roomy. Five big guys with plenty of room, three showers and "heads". Driving from the outside gives a clear view. Well recommended even if one of the older model of craft available.

Excellent service as always. My only disappointment is the fuel charge, now per hour, as apposed to litre used. The fuel was expensive enough when it was at per litre rate. Charging per hour just seems to be a way to take more money of guests. Very reasonable price and pleasure
