It’s that time of year when most people are looking forward to, or making plans for, their summer holidays or short breaks.
A ‘staycation’ or holiday at home provides the perfect chance for a getaway. With an estimated 11.2 million tourists visiting our shores in 2019, we are lucky to have Ireland as our staycation destination!
A boating holiday on the River Shannon is a unique and memorable experience. There is so much on offer that it can be hard to fit everything in!
Exploring towns & villages, sight-seeing, leisure activities, water sports, or just sitting back and taking it all in from the comfort of your deck.
For anyone who has never hired a boat before, then see our beginners guide to a boating holiday in Ireland blog or visit our FAQ page for more information. Read on to find out why we believe a boating holiday is the ultimate ‘staycation’!
