We had an absolute ball and 3 days was not enough.
Just a quick message to say we're back on dry land and its not half as much fun! We returned the boat yesterday and back at work today! We had an absolute ball and 3 days was not enough. We already want to go again! Many thanks for all your help and organising. Everything was perfect.

We had a lovely week on the Shannon.
We had a lovely week on the Shannon – helped by the amazing weather of course. We enjoyed going through the locks and found the river and Lough Erne to be very quiet with few other boats doing the same route as ourselves. We saw several kingfishers, an eagle and lots of other less unusual birdlife. I have attached a couple of photos we took. Everything went very ...

We did indeed have a great time on our cruise
We did indeed have a great time on our cruise from Portumna to Carrick-on-Shannon! Our boat from Emerald Star was perfect for our group and amazingly easy use with the bow and stern thrusters. The Navigation Guide that was provided was essential and also easy to follow as we navigated the river and found our overnight parking spots. Thanks for your help with...

Thanks for all your responses over the months of planning the trip
Brian, it was a great experience. Thanks for all your responses over the months of planning the trip. I asked for comments from the other people on the boat and here they are in no particular order:
The cushions were particularly hard and everyone woke up stiff after sleeping on them. The low fuel consumption over 8 days was amazing. The lack of shore power was bothersome to the ladies not able ...

We had a lovely break on the river and got lucky with the weather too thankfully.
Everything worked well and the lads in Carrickcraft where absolutely sound.
We would definitely look at doing it again in the future so feel free to send on any special offers etc going forward.

I will recommend yourselves to anyone who asks about doing a Shannon boat trip.
Your service was excellent, and for this we are most grateful.
Le Boat people were also most helpful, the only problems we had were,
(i) The showers would not pump out, however, after reading the boats instruction book, we called Le Boat; they responded quickly and sent a mechanic to sort the problem out. It was found that the front shower discharge line was blocked and the aft...

The holiday was great, the boat was wonderful
The holiday was great, the boat was wonderful. Only one minor issue with the Bimini, which they promptly resolved. Throughly enjoyed the boating experience, and would definitely do it again. Weather was a bit hit and miss, but we didn’t mind that, as it was all new experiences. The boating community were so lovely and friendly, as was everyone in everyplace we stopped a...

We needed the very helpful Brian to advise us of the advantages of various boats and itineries
First time boat renters, 2 couples for 1 week on a boat rented via Shannon River.com from Banagher. Booking was very easy. As novices we needed the very helpful Brian to advise us of the advantages of various boats and itineries etc. Using an agency like his meant we got an overview of all the companies without any extra expense. I would definitely recommend a chat with him before booking.

I was as always delighted with your excellent service, help & support.
We had a lovely time on our cruise, despite the awful weather, we had to stop so I could buy a furry hat, gloves & more socks it was so cold & wet. I deliberately chose a boat with an inside steering position too but Stewart says he likes the challenge of being outside in all weathers! Cruising on the Shannon is so varied, this time we experienced some still water in the canal and for the first...
