Come sailing on the Atlantic Ocean on this private sea boat cruise in the the western seas off the Connemara coast, in search of sightings of the wonderful marine wildlife of the area, which can includes whales, dolphins, porpoises, several seal colonies and the occasional family of sea otters. Perhaps even a glimpse of the mighty basking shark and the 500lb sunfish! Why not try a bit of fishing en-route as you travel to the small, beautiful and scenic island of Inishturk, which rises boldly from the wild North Atlantic in wall-like cliffs to the northwest and steep hills to the north. Here stand the ruins of the old signal tower, 722 feet above sea level. Those who wish can join the knowledgeable local guide for a 3-hour walk to the cliffs to do some amazing island bird watching. The number of species here will fascinate and compliment any bird watching enthusiast's wish list!

5.00Sadly, my boyfriend and I had this trip booked during our vacation, but the weather didn’t quite hold out for us and we weren’t able to go. The fantastic communication and understanding we received from Cathy and the skipper was worth a review though. They started by communicating with us a few days prior and kept us updated on weather patterns. When it started looking worse they contacted us and gave us the option to cancel or change the trip to be more accommodating to the weather. As it usually goes with weather, it’s very unpredictable and it wasn’t until the night before that we decided to cancel because our priority was to spend time on the boat and that wasn’t going to be enjoyable with the swells that were expected. Cathy was more than understanding and allowed us to cancel past Viator’s 24 hour policy and even helped me get my full refund back. In speaking with her it was clear they were most concerned about us having a good time. That’s what really stood out to me. So I would highly recommend this charter to anyone, as I’m sure it would be an amazing trip because of the care and attention they put into making sure the guests enjoy themselves. I also hope to make it back to be able to enjoy this charter myself.
