Wicklow Boat Charters
About
Wicklow Boat Charters is run by skipper Kit Dunne out of Wicklow Town and is the straightforward way to see this coast from the water. The business runs two distinct things: sea angling charters, for tope, smoothhound, cod, ray and pollock among others, and sightseeing trips along the coastline, which take in the seals, the seabird cliffs and the three lighthouse towers on Wicklow Head from the angle you cannot get on foot. The boats are licensed and have inside and outside seating and a toilet, and a newer boat, the Manannan Mac Lir, has recently joined. Trips run from half a day to a full day with evening options, and the operator also does commercial work such as marine survey and pilotage, so availability varies. Prices are not published online; book by phone or through the website and confirm what you are getting before you commit.
