We can lay out a full set of challenges for your team with the option of additional activities such as kayaking through the heart of Dublin. Our programme can involve coastal explorations, identifying destinations, navigation, VHF, setting sails and anchoring. Under our watchful eye, your team can take on full operation of the ship. We can introduce challenges based around marine environmental themes such collecting plastic and water sampling. Call us on 085 8667877 to discuss your ideas.

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.
