4.00Lovely boat and great crew but weather was wet and very windy so everyone crammed inside and there was standing room only. Lovely to have live music and a bar that served alcohol and hot drinks.
Awesome Cruise!

5.00It was a really nice experience on board. From start to finish the crew were very professional informative and very helpful. Special shout out to Ray the skipper who managed to find the seals and the commentary was very informative if you get chance I highly recommend you give it a go and you will not be disappointed. The slip is extremely easy to use as I struggle walking but getting aboard is a breeze. You have a choice of below decks where food and drink are available at reasonable prices. Toilets are well kept then up top for the ultimate experience wear a big coat if it's cold. Plenty of photo opportunities a grand adventure for a reasonable price thanks so much
Great Trip

5.00Fantastic tour of the islands narrated beautifully by Tom. Definitely worth the trip, the intermittent rain wasn’t a bother. Lovely boat with a toilet on the same level of lounge area. Well skippered. Suitable for all ages and abilities.
A teaser of Clew Bay's 365 islands

5.00Tom was an outstanding guide who spoke about Clew Bay with humor and facts. The boat would slow down so one could photograph seals sunning on the rocks or check out John Lennon's island closely. An interesting touch was having live music on board upon the return to Westport. Kudos to Tom and the crew for their cheerfulness and great energy.

4.00A lovey cruise on Clew Bay cruising past many islands including an island that was purchased by John Lennon. We saw seals and learnt about the history of Grace O’Malley who was a pirate in the 1500’s. Ed was our guide who explained many interesting facts regarding the bay and its history and former inhabitants. The scenery was amazing including passing Croagh Patrick. Well worth booking this if in or near Westport. All the staff were friendly and engaging. Did not disappoint.
