Z04-25: Sailing holidays to Ireland & Isle of Man

From Belfast, we sail out to the Irish Sea and visit the luxury marina of Bangor. A short distance, so in the morning there is the opportunity to take a ‘Black Cab’ city tour along the impressive ‘ Murals’, or to visit the Titanic museum, certainly a recommendation. This will be followed by a longer leg to the ‘Isle of Mann’, laying in the middle of the Irish Sea. The following day we will stay put to explore the island or visit the lovely town of Peel, its beach and/or castle.

The next day, wind and tide permitting, we sail into Strangford Lough, which has a very strong current so weather conditions have to cooperate. This is where the filming for the famous ‘Game of Thrones’ series took place, in particular for ‘Winterfell’ castle, and here you can also take a nice woodland walk.

We continue sailing the following day to Carlingford Lough, another impressive lough with strong currents, right on the border between Ireland and Northern Ireland. With stunning views of the Mourne mountains and Carlingford is an authentic town.

The Irish are the most friendly and hospitable people in Europe and the cosy pubs are a welcome end to the sailing day. We sail on to Malahide, a longer 39-mile sailing day, where we can enter via a shallow river on the right tide, passing right by the beach. A pretty town and a bit of Dublin’s seaside resort, where we will probably spend another day.

We will end this sailing holiday in bustling and atmospheric Dublin, where of course we will walk into the city centre in the evening to eat in a pub and listen to traditional Irish music.

The above schedule is subject to weather, wind and tide. The daily sailing distances are between 11 and 45 miles.

Sailing holiday Prices 

The ‘board price’ of the voyage is the rent for ship and crew, which must be paid up front.

The ‘board cash’ is the amount per person for the food and drink on board (including crew), as well as fuel, water, shore, port fees and taxes, but excluding trips, food and drinks ashore. This amount must be paid upon embarkation in cash to the skipper (in the appropriate currency). What remains after the sailing holiday, will be refunded.

With less than 3 participants, the ‘board cash’ is usually not sufficient. In that case, there will be a surcharge of up to € 50 per person.
