The reception at Douelle was efficient, friendly and professional. The initial reservation experience with the Cape Town office with Dianne was excellent. The boating experience was brilliant and the boat was in very good working order. Fantastic Boat…would recommend it without a doubt.
Liz Kavanagh (Elegance)
We received a warm welcome. Everything was explained clearly. The boat was pristine and very well equipped. We asked for extra pillows, nothing was a problem. I have already recommended emerald star to friends and family as too have the rest of the crew. The elegance 6 was perfect for a group of six. We all had separate beds, wardrobes, three cabins were ensuite. Plenty of room and modern. Easy to handle.
David Vincent (Magnifique)
Excellent service from Emerald Star throughout the booking process and excellent support at the Migennes base. I highly recommend! The boat Magnifique is well designed and spacious. Easy to drive and well equipped.
