Positive: The boat was beautiful inside and really spacious. The 7 of us had more than enough space. The beds have heaters and everything is really modern. The owner Natalie was really nice and answered all our questions instantly. Definitely reccomend it.
Negative: The only "downside" is the toilet. You need to put the toilet paper in the bin as you can't flush it down the toilet, although , it really wasn't that big of a problem.
