What To Expect

Kinsale

As we set off from the quay, keep an eye out for the lively yacht marina and admire the picturesque former fishing village of Scilly. The boat glides close to the shore, offering fantastic opportunities to spot seals, otters, herons, cormorants, terns, and a host of vibrant flora and fauna.

Admission Not Applicable

Charles Fort

Get ready for awe-inspiring views of Charles Fort, which dates back to the late 1600s and was built to enhance the harbour's defences. Picture the incredible effort involved in constructing this fort, stone by stone, long before modern machinery came into play. Once home to a garrison until 1920, Charles Fort is now an OPW heritage site, complete with daily guided tours. Experiencing its grandeur from the water adds a whole new layer to its rich history!

Nice cruise

The weather was not the best but the cruise itself was nice. We were able to get some nice pictures but there really wasn't a lot to see. The talk was informative and they did have a bathroom and a small variety of beverages. We had trouble finding parking and found out that if you are even a bit late, they leave without you so give extra time for finding a place to park. The people working were very friendly.

Really enjoyable boat trip around the Kinsale harbour. Good few points of interests along the way. Comfortable seats and really friendly staff. There's a recording with interesting information so you get history along the journey and then some nice music. Cannot fault anything, I would definitely recommend

This tour/boat ride is a great way to learn about Kinsale while touring the harbor. It is not a tour out into the Atlantic. It focuses on Kinsale and it was quite enjoyable.
