Thank you for your fantastic review! We're thrilled to hear that the handover and return process was smooth and easy, and that you found the boat well-appointed. It's great to know you enjoyed the relaxing route from Falkirk Wheel to Edinburgh, even with the slight change of plans due to the weather. We're sorry to hear that the dining options along the way didn't quite meet expectations, but we hope the overall experience was still memorable. We'd love to welcome you back for another adventure in the future!

The layout of the boat was excellent and had much more storage than we have previously experienced. In addition, the bedding seemed to be of a higher spec than other vessels and light years ahead of the awful mattresses we endured last year
