About

A family-run boat company (est. 1995) that takes small groups from Teelin Pier out beneath Sliabh Liag, the highest accessible sea cliffs in Europe at 600 m. Seeing them from the water is the only way to grasp their true scale.

Things to Do

Sightseeing Tours

Cruise beneath the Sliabh Liag cliffs, which at 600 m (1,972 ft) are Europe's highest accessible sea cliffs. The trip runs from Teelin Pier under the overhangs, caves and hidden features you cannot see from the cliff top.

Mammal Watching

Bottlenose and common dolphins, minke, humpback, fin and occasionally orca whales, plus tuna, basking sharks, seals and seabirds. Mammal-watching trips are private bookings only unless otherwise stated.

Swimming Trips

Swim in crystal-clear Atlantic water beneath the cliffs or in secluded coves on the way, so pack a swimsuit and towel. A limited number of towels and wetsuits are available on board.

Evening Angling Trips

The 18:00 sailing can be booked as a fishing trip at €35 per person, with rods and tackle included. Minimum 4 and maximum 10 per booking, and smaller groups may share the boat.

Private Trips

Charter a whole boat (up to 12 people) for a tailored sightseeing, swimming, mammal-watching or fishing trip. Book by selecting 12 adult places on the booking form.

Sliabh Liag Sauna

A wood-fired sauna with cold plunge sits right at Teelin Pier, the perfect follow-up to a dip. Sessions start from €15 and are booked separately online.
