Departing from Kilrush Marina on the River Shannon, this private charter explores the historic waterways, island landscapes, and dramatic coastline of West Clare and Kerry.

The journey begins in the sheltered waters of the Shannon Estuary, passing scenic and historic landmarks including Hogs Island, Scattery Island, Doonagha, Carrigaholt Castle & Bay, and onward toward Kerry Head. Depending on conditions, the route may continue along the coastline to take in the impressive Ballybunion Bay cliffs and caves, before cruising toward Tarbert Harbour.

This route offers a memorable mix of river cruising, coastal scenery, heritage sites, castles, islands, cliffs, caves, and open Atlantic views. Travelling close to the coastline where safe, guests can observe the area’s natural rock formations, marine habitats, seabirds, and sea life.
