The interaction with Shannon River was fantastic.
The trip (stag) was a huge success and enjoyed by everyone. The boats themselves were clean and well equipped for our needs. The pre-sail lesson from Emerald Star was very informative and just what was needed. All the towns/villages we visited (Portumna, Dromineer, Killaloe, Garrykennedy and Terryglass) were clean, tidy and the locals were warm and welcoming. They really were a credit to their co...

We had a great time on the river despite the dull weather.
We had a great time on the river despite the dull weather. The boat was very comfortable and interiors smart. Our only issue was Meelick lock and the Portumna Bridge. The Carrickcraft people should have warned us about the times especially on Sunday evening. We had planned to return the boat on Sunday evening but on the way to Meelick lock we realised that it was supposed to shut at 6pm. Fortunat...

We had a lovely time
We had a lovely time thanks. The weather was a bit iffy but we enjoyed the break. The boat was lovely. I wasn't expecting it to have as much space as it did. It has everything that we needed on it and the guys in emerald star were lovely to deal with.
Thanks so much for all your help with booking it, much appreciated.

Boat mint condition - clean and all functional.
All great indeed - besides 2 days of rain .... Boat mint condition - clean and all functional. Only thing not to good - chaos on day when we picked up boat - only on lady at receiption - no "qeue system" no clear information when boat is ready .... But overall great! Might do it again anytime soon!

It was definitely a really good holiday
We had a great week cruising, first time we did it so it took a bit of getting used to.
Would suggest maybe a little emphasis on the difference between the river and the Lake when inducting customers. We got quite a scare going i...

The weather was fantastic and we enjoyed the whole experience.
Just back from my Summer leave and wanted to thank you again for all your help with organising the surprise for my husband John’s 40th birthday. He absolutely enjoyed the whole trip!
We dealt with a lovely man in Tullybay who suggested some of the places we should visit with the lads and I was delighted (as were my lads) with the boat I had selected. The weather was fantastic and we enjoyed t...

Weather hasn’t put us off for a return fixture one day.
We thoroughly enjoyed the cruise despite the disappointing weather but that hasn’t put us off for a return fixture one day.
The boat was excellent though I think 4 was the maximum number for comfort and convenience.
