Customer Reviews
Lucia
Celebrated a close friend's birthday in a small group of 7. The nature overtaking the man made canal from the 1700s was absolutely breathtaking. Jenny was an amazing and generous captain and host. Her kindness and warmth comes across in anything she does and in how well the place is equipped and maintained. It was a cozy experience, like being in the garden and living room of a friend with amazing taste, while also getting to experience the beautiful nature around you. Definitely recommended!
Laura
Fabulous day out with Jenny! Highly recommended. Don't miss your chance to experience Dublin like you've never seen it before. We had a fantastic day out with a group aged 9 to 70s. Go for it!

Highly recommended – one more thing off my bucket list! I had a fantastic time on the Royal Canal Boat Trip, and I went twice! This tour is perfect for anyone seeking a unique and peaceful experience in Dublin. The scenic route offers a different view of Dublin that you wouldn’t expect. Jen, our guide, was fantastic! She’s incredibly knowledgeable and made the whole journey feel personal and welcoming. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting or even living in Dublin; it’s perfect for birthdays, team events, or a relaxing day out. It’s a hidden gem and the ideal way to unwind and discover something new!

We had the most amazing afternoon doing a boat trip with Jenny (Royal Canal Boat Trips) down the royal canal. Her boat was so gorgeous and so well presented which took us down the most beautiful part of the canal. Jenny was not only a fabulous Captain but also a really special person and so lovely to spend time with. We would highly recommend doing this trip for something different and truly enjoyable! Thanks Jenny! From all the Bells and Captain Cillian and Caleb x

I celebrated my birthday onboard with my family and Jenny. The trip far exceeded my expectations. The scenery is stunning and Jenny has a fantastic knowledge of the local history. She made us feel so welcome and at ease. We all had a great time (kids and adults) and would highly recommend this trip.
