Dear Jenny & Les 
On occasions that I really enjoy an experience, I feel duty-bound to write to the people concerned and sincerely congratulate them for a job well done. On this basis, I have absolutely no hesitation in writing to you to let you know how much my daughter and I enjoyed the five days we spent on your houseboat "Alexander" last week. Although we were rank amateurs in respect of boats, the briefing we received from Bruce was thorough and put us totally at ease, even more so when he told us that he would travel part way with us whist we became familiar with the handling of the boat.
The boat itself was absolutely spotless and was furnished with everything we could possibly need to ensure that our holiday would be enjoyable. Well, enjoy it we certainly did! The weather was perfect (which you probably arranged as well) and, as a person who has fished all around the world, I have never caught such a range of fish in one place. The fishing was so good, in fact, that we stayed anchored in
the one spot for the entire five days!
The quality of your overall product, from the friendly, competent service, to the boat and its accessories is an absolute credit to you and your team, and I am more than pleased to recommend Luxury Afloat to anyone who wants a very special holiday.
Yours sincerely
Ian Logan

​TOOHEY FAMILY
Our family have been coming to Tin Can Bay for houseboat holidays for 26 years.
For the past 10-15 years we have been hiring 2 boats every year from Luxury Afloat for a mens family fishing trip and in between the bigger boats when our want women join us.
We have experienced a variety of standards of service and efficiency over that time. We returned last Friday from our 2005 trip and all participants agreed that this was our best ever in terms of the quality of the boats presentation and efficiency plus the service from your self and staff was excellent. We love the Great Sandy Straits and the peace and tranquility of living on the boats but when the back up from the owner is seen and felt positively then it all adds to a memorable experience. 
Hopefully in 2006 we will be hiring 3 boats and taking some of the grandchildren for the first time. 
Greg thanks for a good holiday.
Kind Regards 
Peter Toohey

​DAVIS FAMILY From HOBART TASMANIA 
Thank you to Jenny & Les and the team at Luxury Afloat Tin Can Bay for a magnificent and memorable holiday. It was the best fun we have ever had together as a family. Dad loved the game fishing, the children were delighted with so many varied and exciting activities. I appreciated having your fantastic staff help coordinate a brilliant holiday keeping every member of our family happy and entertained for the entire 7 days. We received so much more than the boating holiday we expected.
​I couldn’t believe the friendly reception we received on arrival, being picked up from the airport then taken supermarket shopping all before we even stepped foot on a boat. Well worth travelling from Tasmania with two young children - the quality service from beginning to end was superb! Thank you again and we will see you next year and I hope many years after that. 
P.S. Give Skipper a big pat from all of us
