   A really interesting 30 minute cruise on the Dee by Chester Boat Hire. Would recommend for any body visiting this beautiful city.

   I had far too much fun driving(?) a motor boat for the first time hired from here. No nonsense in getting the boat. Very self-explanatory to use so no need for excessive guidance from the staff. There is a deposit you have to pay which you get back (in cash) at the end. The route you follow down the river is lovely.

   It was a fun day out for the kids. They have rowing, pedal and motor boats. One can ride for 30 mins. We have to time our rides. A deposit was taken and duly returned as soon as the boat was returned.

   So expensive for just half an hour should have more options to hire boats for longer and what ever you do make sure you bring the boat back on time as the fee's are unreal if you don't. This has so much protencial if it was run properly as there's hardly any were else to rent a boat especially were this is located only one there if they done day hire or even just half day would get so more buisness

   Incredibly rude to me and my girlfriend. One of the guys who works there thought it was appropriate to start shouting at me for the crime of helping to steady the rowing boat with a hand to stop it touching the side of the pier, which as an exepienced rower since childhood is simply good etiquette. He went from 0 to shouting and it made literally zero sense in the context, it was incredibly rude and me and my girlfriend both felt it was simply not on. I stood up and asked who was shouting at me, and he said "Well you weren't listening".... which makes no sense as it was the first thing he had communicated and his method of delivery was shouting. Basically I got shouted at like a dog for touching the rowing boat I was about to get into. 0/5.

   Traveled all the way to Chester during the nice weather to hire one of the motor boats down the canal to only be refused as we were apparently intoxicated however offered to supply a breathalyser sample to which we were laughed at. Never felt so degraded by a ‘professional’ company with my partner. After watching many others on the canal who were clearly not in control on the motor vehicle I felt the company a sham! Was probably a blessing in disguise as the prices where extortionate. Wouldn’t even give 1 star if there was a option

   Met with family on sunday 30th Aug & my hsband took kids/grandkids out on the river curtesy of hire company Chester Boats. Kids throughly loved being out on the River Dee, but us adults were absolutely aghast at the hygiene regime or rather lack of as watched the guys as they wiped down the boats (& childrens life jackets) with dirty, disgusting looking rags.......I was sat on seats watching as they wiped boat after boat with the same rags. As soon as my family got off their boat I smothered their hands in sanatising gel. Chester Boats you really need to relook at your hygiene because it is sorely lacking.....

   We went for the half hour cruise as we didn't have time for the longer 2 hour one. Pleasant sail along the River with a very informative commentary. The staff were very friendly and knowledgeable. Can definitely recommend this cruise, and will be returning in the future for the longer trip.
