Boat cruise to Skelligs

Things to Keep in Mind

  • The cruise around the Skellig Islands takes approximately 2.5
    hours. We recommend that anyone prone to seasickness take
    seasickness tablets before embarking on their trip.

Note: Ginger is sometimes a good alternative to anti- seasickness tablets

  • Warm clothing should be worn during the sailing – even on a
    warm day the boat trip can be cool.

  • Be prepared for rain or sea spray on your journey. While we do
    provide waterproof gear on the boat, we recommend that
    passengers have their own waterproof clothing. 

  • Bring sunscreen and a hat even on cloudy days.

  • If you do become sick: (1) let the crew know so they may
    help you; (2) drink plenty of water; (3) try to stay warm but
    not overly warm; (4) try keeping your gaze fixed on the
    horizon.

  • If conditions are inclement, remain seated for the journey. If
    you wish to stand, please do hold on at all times.

Stay safe and again please speak with the crew, they are there to make your journey as pleasant as possible
