Come on board the Spirit of Kinsale for a spectacular tour of Kinsale harbour! Our unique trip is an opportunity to view Kinsale town from the water, it will give you a very different view of Kinsale and its beautiful natural harbour. Excellent value for money and brilliant family entertainment as seals, herons, dolphins and other wildlife are often to be seen.
The boat passes by Charles Fort, James Fort, the block house and two yacht marinas. Jeromes commentary gives a brief history and anecdotal legends with an insight into how the town has developed over the centuries. Its a perfect combination of culture, information, relaxation and stunning scenery.
Downstairs is a closed in deck with a bar and comfortable seating; upstairs is an open deck.
The boat meets all the safety regulations and holds a full operating licence from the Marine Department. Jump aboard the Spirit of Kinsale and see all the sights of one of the most beautiful natural harbours in Europe!
