"We took a Brinks Sun Charm electric day boat out for 7 people out. Beautifully clean and well presented boat. Inside was a toilet, sink and kettle. Also there was plenty of space to place our bags for the day. We were given plenty of information before arrival. On arrival we were given instructions on how to operate the boat and places we could visit. We all thoroughly enjoyed our day out and were very impressed with the staff who handed the boat over on the day and the information we were given. We would definitely recommend using this company."
