Feedback from our happy customers

We had a great trip with a fantastic captain. He got the right changes between speed and pauses. We saw lots of seals around puffin island.

We spotted this trip on our way back from Dublin and had to give it a go. Today we took the 2 hour Skerries trip with our captain Charles. He is one of the nicest guys you could meet and made us feel extremely welcome and gave us an entertaining trip. The boat trip was thrilling, tranquil and informative all in one and it was the best boat trip we have had.

A great trip, it was cold but we were well wrapped up. Tom, our skipper, was really interesting and made sure we had a great experience. Well worth doing even on a cold February morning.

Did the Skerries trip with my daughter and thoroughly enjoyed it! Charles the skipper was great and seemed to enjoy it as much as we did. He had lots of knowledge about the area including the wildlife, history and geology. Couldn't recommend more!

Loved it - not being a boat lover I was a little anxious but I thoroughly enjoyed it also thought it was great that our skipper Ed told us so much about what we were seeing. Will definitely be coming back to go on a longer trip next time.

One of the best family experiences we have had....big smiles all round ! Sam our driver, pilot, guide, host and comedian was absolutely great. We now planning our next journey on the Ribride - probably the Straits and Bridges.
