I booked Lochrin Belle for a birthday party and it was perfect. The crew were excellent and took the boat down the Union canal and through some thin ice on a lovely sunny day in January, everyone loved the trip. We got on board early and decorated and Prahna in Corstophine delivered a delcious finger buffet. Plenty of equipement in the kitchen and champagne glasses. A slightly different venue for a party or gathering and I'd highly recommend.

We had a fantastic journey on a beautiful day in late December, out to West Edinburgh and back. The weather was surprisingly good, with sunshine dappled waters, no wind to speak of, and plenty to see and do. The children and adults all loved that unique, gently undulating, on the water feeling, as we caught up with all that's been going on in each other's lives, and enjoyed the company of family and friends. The crew were so helpful and friendly and provided all that we needed...the canal boat being well equipped in every way and the crew well furnished with information on the function of the kit we were not familiar with...and also local knowledge of the area. We loved the experience and are looking forward to the next opportunity to board the Lochrin Belle. Lindsey Hutchison

Myself and 4 friends experienced this fantastic canal trip last Sunday. I didn’t really know what to expect but what a brilliant afternoon we had! From start to finish we were had 5 star service from the lovely staff - they were good fun too! The food was delicious and our Prosecco was constantly topped up! The entertainment was brilliant too - DJ then a singer - most of us on the boat were up dancing. We really didn’t want the afternoon to end and thought it was fantastic value for money. I would highly recommend it - especially for a groups of women - like we were.

Had a great time on board the Millennium Link for my partners 50th birthday celebrations with his family. It was a nice private way to celebrate and something different that suited all ages. The boat was nice and warm and clean and we could decorate it how we liked. There was a CD player to play music and we were served a tasty cup of coffee or tea . We brought cake and some nibbles on board too. The crew were very helpful, punctual and helped make the experience special with the opportunity to have a shot of steering the boat into the bargain. Thanks again to all the crew and the organisers behind the scene. We will recommend you to friends and family. We wish you all the best, Julie , Scott and the family.
