Excellent customer service for booking process
Very clear and simple instructions for making a booking request online. Followed up with a phone call from the company; the lady who dealt with my booking was very polite and helpful, giving full information about what was included in the reservation and all terms and conditions etc.. She also took time to find out answer to a question I had regarding particular facilities; she made enquiries with the boat operator on my behalf and then phoned me back within half an hour with the answer.

Easy process
Once we’d reserved our holiday online we got a callback as soon as the office was open. Everything was gone through and explained clearly and we were able to book and pay for our holiday over the phone with no problems.

Great customer Service
The lady I spoke to was extremely helpful, letting us know best Airport to fly into and how to get to the boat yard, plus shopping online is a good idea, we didn't think of that!
So Thankyou for your great customer service.

Great booking experience
The young lady who phoned me was extremely helpful and explained everything, also the response times in sending over all the information could not be faulted - not gone on trip yet but hopefully all as smooth as booking the trip.

Great selection of boats but cost little high
Great selection of boats across wide departures points. Cost was high and it was little painful to complete booking as I had to call to complete booking, would have liked it be fully online. In addition lack of cancellable options mean 100% cost needs to be paid upfront which is not ideal.
