Thank you for your honest feedback, and for choosing ABC Boat Hire for the sixth time — we truly value your continued support.
We’re very sorry to hear about the issues you experienced with the boat’s battery. We understand how frustrating that must have been, especially on your final morning. We appreciate your resourcefulness in working around the problem, and we’re currently referring this matter to our Customer Service Manager to ensure it’s fully investigated and addressed.
We also apologise for the condition of the seating area — that’s certainly not the standard we aim to uphold, and we’ll be reviewing our cleaning procedures to prevent this from happening again.
Thank you again for your kind words about our team and service. We’re glad to hear that, despite the setbacks, you still enjoyed your trip. We hope to welcome you back again soon for a smoother and more relaxing experience.
