About this experience

A yacht charter in Dún Aonghasa offers private sea access to the Aran Islands' most dramatic cliff-top fort. Departing from Inishmore's harbour, this excursion combines sailing with a visit to the 3,000-year-old stone fort. The charter provides a unique perspective on the island's limestone terraces and Atlantic coastline.

What to expect

Charter duration is typically 4-6 hours, including sailing time and a 2-hour shore stop at Dún Aonghasa.
The yacht includes a skipper, fuel, and safety equipment; you may bring your own food and drink.
You will see the fort's outer ramparts and the sheer 100-metre drop to the Atlantic from the sea approach.
Landing at the pier near the fort, you can walk the marked trail to the visitor centre and cliff edge.
This charter suits small groups (up to 8 passengers) seeking a private, weather-dependent excursion.
Binoculars are recommended for spotting seabirds such as guillemots and razorbills along the cliffs.
