Departing from Doonbeg on Ireland’s Wild Atlantic Way, this full-day private coastal charter takes guests along one of the most dramatic and scenic stretches of Ireland’s Atlantic coastline.

The journey explores a spectacular route of bays, cliffs, headlands, islands, and coastal landmarks, including Blue Pool, Tobacco Cove, Horseshoe Bay, Bearaghty Mór, Kilkee Bay & Cliffs, Intrinsic Bay, Bishops Island, and the iconic Bridges of Ross.

Travelling close to the coastline where conditions allow, guests can take in breathtaking views of rugged sea cliffs, natural rock formations, Atlantic seascapes, and rich marine habitats.
