Skellig Boat Charters

Skellig Boat Charters sails from Portmagee, County Kerry, the village that serves as the main departure point for trips out to the Skellig Islands off the Iveragh coast.

Boats run seasonally, weather permitting, and take in the dramatic sea cliffs and the huge seabird colonies of the islands, including gannets and, in early summer, puffins. Landing trips and eco tours that circle the islands are both common. Sailings depend entirely on sea conditions, so book ahead and expect changes at short notice.
