WEXFORD SAILING FIELD GUIDE
Afternoon Tea at Sea: 90 Minutes Aboard the Lady Patricia Along Wexford’s Sunlit Coast
A 90-minute summer sail from Crescent Quay that pairs freshly baked Irish scones and finger sandwiches with coastal views between Wexford and Kilmore Quay.
Afternoon Tea at Sea: 90 Minutes Aboard the Lady Patricia Along Wexford’s Sunlit Coast.
On bright summer afternoons the Lady Patricia slips out from Wexford and into the low, glittering arc of Ireland’s southeast coast. For 90 minutes guests settle into the boat’s upper deck, drink tea or barista coffee and eat scones and finger sandwiches made from guaranteed Irish produce while the shoreline unspools—harbours, dunes and the tidy white roofs of Kilmore Quay—before turning back to Wexford.
