Excellent care and attention from the staff at Portumna The boat was well maintained and comfortable. (We drew attention to minor faults). We will go again when the opportunity arises. Comfortable and easy to handle. Good access from outside control to quay when alongside, when short handed.

We've always been happy with Emerald Star and always been happy with our boat. The staff have always been absolutely excellent, from booking to check in to check out. We've never had a hidden charge or an excessive fuel bill. They're just nice people to deal with. A very nice little boat for four guys. It's not the newest boat in the fleet but it's very reasonably priced and while cosy, not at all cramped. We took it up the Shannon Erne waterway and it was perfect where a larger boat would have been a little more unwieldy in the narrow confines of the canal. There's no tv, which is great as that's the first thing we stow away when we get aboard.

Once at the base in Portumna, we received great customer service. On the website, it would be helpful to know possible ways to easily travel directly to Portumna. We took a train to Galway thinking there was a bus to Portumna. Once in Galway, we found out that was not the case and we had to rent a car to avoid a 5-6 hour bus ride. Other customers had taken the train but got off at a different stop and took a taxi. The boat was dated but clean. We understand the speed being controlled for non-boaters but for experienced boaters it was sometimes frustrating not to have the power needed for the current, especially in Athlone.

The staff were friendly and helpful. The boat was over 20 years old and looked it. Mechanically it ran ok.
