Paterson's Whole Boat Charter

Glen Tarsan

Murder Mystery review

The backdrop of Lochranza provided a stunning setting for "Murder on the Tipanic". The ship's 4th Engineer had been found lifeless in the swimming pool and the Captain, expertly played by Taff the real skipper, decided to bring together those that knew the deceased to ascertain who was the murderer.

After some excellent food and scripted dialogue, one or two Isle of Arran drams and some fine investigative questioning, Mae West (Lifeguard) was able to accurately deduce that Barry Glitter (Ship's Entertainer) had committed the criminal act."

Many thanks for your help throughout the booking process, we all had a brilliant time.

Best wishes,
Alan.

Guest Comments:

We came as an elderly couple but go home much younger – must be the scenery but more likely the food and the crew! What a wonderful way to get relaxed, laid back and a feeling of pleasure!
Sue & Keith

A thoroughly pleasant experience, crew super and a good bunch of fellow guests.
Malcolm & Libby

Thank you to all the crew for a fabulous few days – we’ll definitely recommend it to others.

Taff, Iain, Gary and David,
My husband and I and guests wish to thank you for the stupendous three days cruising the Scottish Waters of our ‘domain’ – almost as good as ‘Britannia’ in the old days! Also Gary what delicious food!
With Very Best wishes from all of us,

Guest Comments:

From the moment we stepped on board and embarked upon our adventure on the high seas, all 12 of us felt relaxed and happy. The care and attention from Taff, Gary, David and Ian has been second to none. I can't possibly go to my Scottish Slimmer's meeting tonight - Gary, your food was superlative! What a way to spend a few days - I hope we will be back (actually I know we will!)
Morag & Ian

Impossible to put into words what a fantastic adventure this has been. Thank you one and all and I even caught four fish on my first attempt ever!
Sue & Dave

Whole Boat Charter - Oban

Saturday 13th till Friday 19th June

Guest Comments:

There were 12 of us in Noah’s Ark,
We had such fun, what a lark!
We travelled all the Western Isles,
The weather fine, all had smiles,
Glen Massan of The Majestic Line
fed us well and oh, the wine
Available all day and night,
In the morning not so bright!
Andrew, Dougie, Moira and Martin,
The latter being the perfect captain,
Sailed us all from Oban to Staffa
And brought us back again after!
We had a great time on the boat
And managed fine to stay afloat!
There were no days of constant rain
And we all want to come back again!

A floating country house party! We all came as friends and left as friends. Restful, superb scenery, knowledgeable and friendly crew meeting our every need. Would certainly do this again.
