What People Say

Stories from the river

The most peaceful hour I've spent in Ireland. We drifted past herons and kingfishers — you simply don't get that anywhere else.

We booked the big boat for a team day and followed it up with lunch at Lukers. Perfect from start to finish — everyone's still talking about it.

Lunch at Lukers of Shannonbridge

Moor up at the village quay and walk two minutes to Lukers, a proper Irish bar with great food. A combined boat + lunch package is on the way, though it will not be ready when we open.
