Boat Safety

Liked: The location was great. The parking was convenient.
Disliked: We booked for 6 adults on the Fpur Sisters with 2 bedrooms and bunk beds. We were given the Wee Sisters. The first thing was sleeping arrangements for the 6 adults. We were offered a single person's fold out couch that was horribly uncomfortable. Then we ran into no electricity or heat during the night due to the inverter failing, with no battery backup. The macerator toilet wouldn't shut off, so we had to shut that off after each use. Additionally, with the smell of something overheating in the control cabinet, there was fear of a possible fire starting on board. We had to shut the fuse box down completely. We were ultimately forced to vacate the boat with no on-site resolution. The staffing wouldn't answer the phone or texts in a timely manner so we could get help during the first night. We didn't get to enjoy our full, 3-night, prepaid boat experience. We were expected to take care of the issues with the inverter and electricity ourselves. We stayed through the cold night waiting for a response from the host, as we had nowhere else to go. We did not receive communication until 8:00 am the next morning, where we only received texts with no return phone call. Our final instructions were to seek a claim with the booking agency. We are now seeking a full refund for this booking.

Very good

Student's review

Liked: The boat was beautiful inside and really spacious. The 7 of us had more than enough space. The beds have heaters and everything is really modern. The owner Natalie was really nice and answered all our questions instantly. Definitely reccomend it.
Disliked: The only "downside" is the toilet. You need to put the toilet paper in the bin as you can't flush it down the toilet, although , it really wasn't that big of a problem.
