This was my 2nd time on the Shannon with le boat and it did not disappoint. The boat was spotless and exactly what we needed. Everyone we encountered from the staff at the base checking out to the lock keepers to other boaters were willing to help or give advice. Will definitely be back for another trip in the future.

Apart from the excellent service, the beautiful countryside and the historic sites along the way, the greatest treasure of Ireland remains its people, who are polite, kind and very friendly. PS: They seem to have a great sense of humor as well.
