"Good Morning to you all, I would like to thank all those responsible for the success of our Sunday cruise yesterday, from embarking at lunch time the day went very well with excellent food, service and attentive staff, the 15 in our party have all said how they enjoyed it and are asking when we can arrange another cruise, the Captains narrative of the journey was informative and interesting, I would think that there are still many sights along the river that she could talk about maybe we will get that next time we cruise with you, I realise that the cruise is not only about the crew working on the cruise yesterday but also the back room staff please convey our thanks to them also. Please keep us informed of any further cruises you think we would be interested in. "Micheal Richards and Party - January 2013

I am very impressed with the service you provided. Very glad none of the ladies ended up in the water at the end of it! "Emma Shaw - January 2013

"I went on this boat for a Sunday lunch cruise a couple of weeks ago for my mums birthday and had a fantastic time. We went on a Sunday Lunch Carvery Cruise, and the food was absolutely fantastic (better than many restaurants I have been to which was unexpected for this type of thing!) Our whole party are still raving about it and we are planning to go on again...would highly recommend this cruise to anyone considering going on the boat. I feel this was great value, 3 courses with a cruise...works out cheaper than a 3 course meal in any restaurant I have been to and you get the cruise on top! A great day had by all, even my niece who got to navigate the boat with the help of the Captain. "Hannah Coombes - December 2012

"Will you ensure that everyone and I mean everyone involved with my wife's birthday is commended for providing a thoroughly enjoyable evening. My wife and all of the guests had a wonderful time. (as did I!) Obviously in situations like this it is very easy to mention yourself with whom I have corresponded, for the manner in which it was co-ordinated, but I feel that Mo, the Captain, the staff and the DJ deserve an equal show of gratitude. The river cruise was only part of many parts of her special day, but as the last part, it ensured it finished on a high. so thank you once again, "Phillip Ray - August 2012
