This stay was a highlight of our trip! It has to be the coolest place we've ever stayed, and I have nothing but wonderful memories of our three-night stay. The Laura Lucy appears just as pictured, and the location is second to none. SUPER walkable to everything we did in Galway, and being just at the tip of the long walk was an added bonus to walk along that path each day.
Yes, the boat is "off grid' and controlled by solar panels, but we never came close to using all the power, even on a cloudy day.
The team is fantastic - Shane was able to help us within minutes with a question we had on the hot water in the shower (my user error) and helped us get it going super quickly. On that note, there was plenty of hot water and we never felt like we were lacking in any amenities by being on a boat vs. a hotel or something.
Last, it was the best nights sleep my husband and I got our whole trip! Very comfortable bed, and the mild rocking was soothing (even the one day we got a few storms, the rocking was never that bad - my husband occasionally gets a bit sea sick, that was never a problem for us!)
If you are considering this boat for your stay, this is your sign to book it. You'll never forget it!
