The staff at ferry marina are always pleasant and helpful; particular thanks to Ian; who seems to be everywhere, and again, very helpful. As to the boat: Whisper: aside from it being a little underpowered compared to the diesel powered boats; the hybrid drive system worked really well. The fit; finish; space; comfort (particularly the bed); services and facilities were all excellent. The ‘all electric’ galley, kettle, toaster & microwave, meant that there was no gas on the boat. The central heating system and super quick domestic hot water system were also very good. Our only slight criticism of the boat, would be; that until the pre-departure briefing; we were completely unaware that as an ‘Eco’ boat; nothing is discharged into the rivers. Which means that all of the toilet, shower, and sink waste is collected in one tank. Which makes you very aware of how much water we all use day to day. This is a laudable thing to do; but perhaps should be highlighted in the brochure, since, even on week’s hire, two pump out’s might be required: at the hirers cost. We had a great week on this lovely boat. Thanks to all.
