About this experience

Yacht Charter in West Quarter is a private boat hire service based on Inishbofin Island, off the Connemara coast. It offers skippered sailing trips around the island's cliffs, seal colonies, and neighbouring islets. The charter operates from the West Quarter pier and caters to small groups seeking a self-guided or crewed voyage.

What to expect

Charters run for half-day (3 hours) or full-day (6 hours) trips with a licensed skipper included in the hire fee.
The vessel is a 32-foot sailing yacht with a cabin, toilet, and seating for up to six passengers.
Routes pass the island's sea caves, the 19th-century Cromwellian fort, and the bird-nesting stacks at Dún Grainne.
You can request a fishing rod and crab lines for catching mackerel, which the crew will clean and bag for you.
Trips suit adults and children over 8 years old; life jackets and waterproofs are provided for all aboard.
The charter departs daily from the West Quarter slipway at 10:00 and 14:00, weather permitting, with a 24-hour cancellation policy.
