Why not join us on the Deep Star for an enjoyable mackerel fishing trip, sailing from Bantry or Glengarriff.

​This boat trip is great for families and beginners alike, with full instruction on hand to ensure you make the most of your day with Bantry Bay Charters.  We will fish up to a few miles off our beautiful coastline, staying within sheltered waters. 

Never caught a fish? Here is your chance. You will go out on the bay for 2 hours where you’ll experience the ultimate thrill of catching your first ever fish. Bay fishing is a great way to introduce all the family, including your children to sea fishing. 

We provide life jackets to all. We have a great range of rods, reels and tackle. All charters have the provision of a safe and secure trip on-board and a comfortable stable boat with outside seating and toilet facilities.

The mackerel fishing trip is dependent on weather and catches cannot be guaranteed, but we will certainly try our best.

What to bring with you on your trip
Please be at the pick up point 5-10 minutes before your trip departs. Pick up at Glengarriff Pier unless otherwise arranged.
If you are not there before your trip departure time you will not be refunded and the boat cannot wait as it is not fair to other passengers.
PARKING:
Glengarriff - Due to a lot of tour buses coming and going from the pier during the tourist season, it is not always possible to park along side it. Therefore we ask, where possible, to drop off passengers and bags near the pier and park your car along the top of the road.
Bantry - We will be picking up from the railway pier, therefore, you can drop passengers and bags close by the pier and park in the public car park along side Supervalu
IMPORTANT TRIP INFORMATION
All charters are dependent on weather and fish catches and dolphin/whale sightings cannot be guaranteed. The Irish weather and Atlantic Ocean sea conditions can be unpredictable during the year, even in summer. Our Skipper will make their decision to sail based on many years of experience, always keeping in mind passenger safety and comfort. However, depending on wind direction and swell, it may be possible to go ahead with your charter within sheltered waters.
