Hi Joanne, Dennis & Staff



Just a short note to say Thank you so much for your services on the 3rd August when you very kindly took the children up the canal on The Kittywake.

It was a great day for us all, your time and energy on the day was fantastic and we really appreciated your kindness.



So from myself and the children from Chernobyl 'THANK YOU VERY MUCH !'

I would recommend the Kittywake boat for parties of any age I had my little boys 6th birthday on it. I themed the boat Hollywood and they all dressed up like stars. It was a fab day out and the kids loved it they didn't stop talking about it at school and all the parents came up to me saying how good and brill it looked and how much the kids enjoyed it. Thanks to Joanne and co for what they did. brill, fabulous, exciting, lovely I could go on and on thanks again

Just wanted to thank you and your staff for the most amazing time ever! I have spread the word on how smooth and how hard y'all worked.

Everyone really enjoyed their time and a lot of people are talking about doing it again this summer and asking me for your details too. I think we want to make an annual event on there. Maybe even our bachelorette/ bachelor parties too�. I also wanted to say how impressed I was with the customer service and efficiency of everything. The staff onboard were so great and very friendly. You don't see that very often here so be so proud of them.



Thanks again and Happy New Year!

To Kittywake and crew, just a note to thank you so much for your hospitality on Friday night.

It was the best birthday i've ever had !! highly recommended.

P.B.S (wrote on Leighlife.com)



I have just been back up north for Last shifts birthday party. Which I have to say was one of the best nights out ever!!!! We went on a canal boat cruise from Wigan pier to Crooke village. We hired the boat for 4 hours. Unfortunately I only had my phone camera with me so the quality of the pictures are not very good. The owners of the boat were fantastic hosts and couldn't do enough for us.

The Duck wrote : Walking to the JJB Stadium to see the mighty Fulham take on Wigan Athletic, I realised that there is a major canal running through the northern town. I crisscrossed it on my walk from the railway station and as I made my final approach around the stadium car parks there was a bunch of people crusing towards the ground in the Kittywake party boat. Decked in blue and white, Wigan�s colours, with people looking out of the windows it seemed quite a party upon this boat are it crunched the top layer of ice upon the Leeds and Liverpool canal. My team Fulham play beside the river, but I havent caught a boat to a home game. It would be rather a laugh, I hope Kittywake do that all the time or the personal who had a birthday or anniversary had a great time.
