🎤Our Commentary
All of our public cruises have an experienced local guide onboard to guide you along the cruise. Starting with the history of The Harbour, to the 400 strong Clew Bay Seal colony and onwards to John Lennon’s Island ( where John Lennon visited for a short time ). You’ll be enthralled by stories of the infamous Pirate Queen Grace O Malley along with those of St. Patrick ; as he retreated on top of Croagh Patrick. There’s much more to the commentary too. The commentary begins as we leave the harbour and concludes at the furthest point of our trip. As we return to harbour, the commentary ends and you can enjoy the peace and serenity of the bay as we steam back to Westport.
