- Experience the life of a sailor on board a traditional vessel.
- Sailing a traditional tall ship through the historic Dublin Port, or into Dublin Bay or along the incredible Irish coastline, is a truly unique experience you will never forget.
- Learn about crewing a genuine traditional sailing ship.
Set sail and let us immerse you in the beauty of Irelands sensational sea side view, typically exploring Dublin Bay, which is now a recognised Unesco Biosphere. At various times throughout the year, we visit other harbours around Ireland, to include Cork, Waterford and Arklow.
After a short safety briefing we'll be setting sails. You will have the option to climb out on to the “Bowsprit” (the netting at the very front of the ship) and learn how the Irish High King “Brian Ború” took on the Vikings in the Battle of Clontarf bay in 1014, an as we sail by that very location.
From history to nature we're very excited to share our local knowledge with you! We tend to head in the direction of Howth or Dalkey island, depending on the tides and the winds.
No experience is necessary, just buckets of enthusiasm.
Feel the wind fill the sails and lift the ship and her crew into the experience of a lifetime!
Enjoy a 3 hour sailing experience taking in some of Dublin coasts' hidden beauties . (Itinerary will always depend on tidal conditions and weather)
