THE ROUTE

A brisk coastal loop: Wexford → Kilmore Quay → Wexford

This is a 90‑minute, non‑stop scenic journey along the spring coastal route, designed to be a relaxed out‑and‑back cruise with uninterrupted sea views.

THE FOOD

Afternoon tea made with Irish produce

Guests are served a selection of tea, freshly baked scones prepared on board, delicate finger sandwiches and seasonal sweet treats made using guaranteed Irish produce and local suppliers.

THE SERVICE

Warm hospitality and on‑board coffee

Tea is included in the price and optional barista coffee is available—the operator notes this is the only barista machine used in motion in Ireland—alongside optional soft drinks.

What the day feels like

What the trip feels like

The experience is deliberately unhurried: passengers board at Crescent Quay, settle into allocated upstairs seating, and spend 90 minutes watching the coastline roll by while servers deliver afternoon tea and brewed drinks. It reads like a seaside salon—quiet, scenic and focused on local flavours.
