I'm studying in Galway and my fiancé came to visit, so I thought spending a few days on an 'Intimate Charter Boat' would be a romantic and unique end to his visit. It was a definitely a neat experience, and the location was ideal for walking to the city center and Salthill. However, the boat was more minimalistic and less intimate than I was expecting.
The boat was connected to three others, two of which were occupied. A young man living on one of the boats was working on a project in the communal area. This didn't bother us at all, we were just surprised when we heard power tools above our heads.
I was planning to cook, but the mini fridge was located on the center boat, and was not plugged in when we arrived. The stove wouldn't turn on and we were told not to use the microwave. So that was a little disappointing.
Little details- the bedding was not as nice as that shown in the picture online, and the boat was pretty chilly. The sitting area was still cold even with the heat turned on.
Julia was easy to contact and always responded promptly. She was unable to greet us, but gave thorough directions/instructions so we were able to drop our luggage off in the afternoon. Brett came by in the evening to give further instructions. He was late due to traffic, and I felt bad because he seemed a little frazzled.
Overall, great location and unique experience. Just not quite as cozy and intimate as I had hoped for.
