FAQs
Can children come on the boat trips?
Yes! We can take children from 4 years old and up. Please bear in mind it is an open boat so it can be cold and sometimes wet and bumpy. We also have children’s lifejackets and waterproofs too.
Is it easy to get on the boat?
To get on the boat there is a step down to the deck. The crew will be able to assist you if necessary.
Are our boat trips suitable for pregnant women?
We cannot take pregnant women due to the unpredictable nature of the sea.
How many passengers does the boat take?
Our boat can take up to 6 passengers.
Can I take a bag?
You can take small bags onboard, or you can leave them with us on-shore.
Will I get wet?
It’s possible you will get splashed however we try our best to keep customers dry, the boats are designed specifically for a dry ride; but don’t worry we provide customers with waterproof jackets.
What happens if it is too rough/raining?
If conditions are deemed too dangerous to operate or it is raining persistently then the skipper will make the decision to cancel the boat trip.
We try to give the customer as much notice as possible, if the forecast is very poor this decision will often be made the day prior to the trip.
However, it’s Northern Ireland and weather conditions can change rapidly and sometimes last-minute decisions are essential. Please provide an up-to-date contact number should we need to contact you.
How fast does the boat go?
The boat typically operates at a cruising speed of 25 knots, however this is dependent on conditions – comfort and safety are a priority.
Will I get seasick?
It is very rare that anyone gets seasick on our boat trips. It is an open boat and the motion is very different to that of a ferry which can roll.
How often do you see dolphins?
It is unlikely to see Dolphins on the short speed boat trip, however on the longer tours it is possible to see all sorts of wildlife, we have seen dolphins, porpoises, whales, seabirds and seals.
Do you operate at night?
Our licence restricts us to daylight hours which is one hour either side of sunrise/sunset.
