Hi and welcome to the site.

Bulloch Harbour (In Dalky) have the self drive boats from May, 01-2806517. €20 per hour. Ask for Monica or Dolores. They are good people to deal with and will point you in the right direction.

If you want to go further try Howth Boats, operating from Howth. That appears to be your usual charter. I haven't tried them yet.

Good luck.
