Boat Hire

#1 Post by Buddner »

I used to go out from Cloghar head with the kids every year to catch a few mackeral, the lad who was doing the trips doesn't seem to be around anymore so i was woundering does anyone know of some who could bring us out for a few hours from Cloghar head, Skerries around that area, Not talking big money here just 3 hours or so, cheers.

Most of them lads were unlicensed ,now that the rules are stricter and enforced them days are gone,but there is self drive boats in dalkey,and I think there is a boat in rush,but with the huge fuel and insurance costs a charter boat isn't cheep these days

YA they do the self drive from bullock harbour but at 20 euro a hour it a bit steep on the pocket if your the only 1 paying but it can be worth while if there are 3 or 4 paying adults
