Youth, Family and Friends Trips
We can teach you to sail as you take in the sea side view of our magnificent scenery. Sit back and relax, or get fully involved, it’s up to you! Your group can also combine our charter with our city kayaking rental giving a wonderful contrast of small and big boat experience. A multi day tour on the Brian Boru will involve exploring different areas of Irelands’ coastline, navigating, pilotage, watch-keeping, radio, sail setting, heaving the ropes and climbing the rig as well as showcasing your culinary skills in our small but perfect galley kitchen. We will introduce you to The Dublin Bay Biosphere, enhancing engagement. Speak to us on 085 866 7877 about designing a bespoke charter.
