THE CHOICE

A boat and skipper all to yourself

Book the vessel and a professional skipper for the day and tailor the hours and route to your group of up to 12 people — sightseeing, island hopping or a later return to the mainland are all possible.

THE COMFORTS

Onboard amenities keep the day easy

Expect practical comforts: good Wi‑Fi, a toilet, and tea or coffee available on request to help the group stay comfortable across the seven‑hour hire.

THE PREP

Pack for variable Irish weather — and for seasickness

Bring warm layers and be prepared for both rain and sun; if you suffer from motion sickness, prepare in advance before boarding, and you are free to bring your own drinks and snacks.
