What happens when I request a quote?

Once we receive your request, we will confirm the availability of the boat, as well as check for alternative ones. To ensure your experience is the best it can be, we may contact you to discuss your request in detail. Let us do the research for you - free of charge.

When can I get in touch with the captain/skipper?

The timing depends on your charter type. For crewed charters, we can provide the captain's contact details upon request. For bareboat charters with a hired skipper, you can request the contact information 1-3 weeks before departure.

What is the Charter Fee?

The Charter Fee is an additional, obligatory cost, which typically includes the end cleaning of the boat, home port fees, and linen & towels. The details of the charter fee differ depending on the boat, location and charter partner.

Are there any other costs I should be aware of?

There are marina fees and fuel costs which vary depending on the type, duration and location of your sailing holiday. Marina fees need to be paid at each marina you choose to dock overnight - the amount varies but you may be able to find this information in advance by contacting the marinas directly. Fuel costs depend on whether you’re sailing a motorboat or a sailboat. You can estimate fuel costs by double-checking your chosen boat’s engine, and the expected distance you aim to sail.

Hire a Houseboat in Ireland

Ireland's inland waterways offer sheltered cruising through lakes, rivers and canal systems. Base your houseboat holiday from Dublin, Athlone, Carrick-on-Shannon or Limerick, each opening access to different routes across the country's network of navigable waters. Slow-paced inland exploration suits families and first-time skippers looking to moor in market towns, fish from the deck, or simply drift between lock gates at your own schedule. Irish houseboats come equipped for self-catering holidays with no tidal concerns—just waterway planning and weather.
