Dublin Bay Boat Tours | Scenic Coastal Cruises

Dublin Bay

Step onto our boat at the West Pier and discover Dublin Bay like never before.

Experience a one-of-a-kind view of the harbour from the water, cruising past the marina and before heading out of the mouth of the harbour between the East and West Pier Lighthouses.

The tour then takes you down to Scotman’s Bay and Dalkey Sound. Past the quaint fishing harbours of Bullock and Coliemore. Soak in the salty sea air, and keep an eye out for local wildlife, spot the seals basking in the sun on Dalkey island.
