We leave Glengarriff pier, cruising out past Garnish Island with the possibility of seeing the seals basking on the rocks. You may even see our resident Sea Eagle flying overhead and if we are lucky we could encounter a pod of dolphins in our wildlife rich Bantry Bay.


Whiddy Island is situated in Bantry Bay, off the coast of West Cork on the Wild Atlantic Way. It is approximately 5.6 km long and 2.4 km wide. The island has an approximate population of 20 people. 

Whiddy is a quiet and beautiful place to visit. It is steeped in history so there is plenty to see and all walks are sign posted with information boards throughout. Bike hire available. Whiddy Island is a rustic paradise, untouched and unspoiled. 

You can also stay on Whiddy Island, both in self catering houses and also, just last year, the Old School House was converted to a hostel and event centre. ​
'The Bank House' serves food daily during the peak season. There is no nicer place to be, than sitting outside the Bank House on a fine day, drinking a pint and watching the world go by in the distance.

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.
