Following a brief safety orientation, guests are free to cruise through the Indian River, Banana River, and Sykes Creek while watching for dolphins, manatees, and a variety of coastal birds in their natural habitat.


With the freedom to create your own itinerary, you can anchor at peaceful sandbars, enjoy a refreshing swim, relax with a picnic, or simply take in the tranquil scenery. The calm waterways and scenic surroundings make this rental an excellent choice for families, groups of friends, and anyone looking to experience Florida’s natural beauty at a leisurely pace.

Food, beverages, and optional equipment are not included, allowing guests to customize their outing by bringing their own refreshments and personal items.

Absolutely love the Shannon. Went from carrick on Shannon to Portrunny and back on a 3 night break. Water was warm. Lough Ree was like a glass. Weather wasn’t all blue skies but still came back with a colour. Will be going for longer next year. Sorry I didn’t take more picture. Too busy relaxing.

The staff is super friendly and helpful! The process is painless and simple. The boats are well kept and clean. Clear instructions on how to operate the boat before you set off and they even take you for a little test drive with you to make sure you feel comfortable driving the boat around if need be. The boats are well equipped and the facilities are more than adequate, but there are stop where they provide facilities if you’d prefer the ones on land. (You are given a map with a lot of details that Indicates the stops and what facilities are available at the stops) The scenery along the river as absolutely breathtaking and super calm. Obviously depending on the season, the waters are calm and easy to navigate. Take note, in the winters it can get SUPER cold and the waters might feel like your on the open ocean if the wind comes up👀 but for someone who loves being on the ocean, I loved it 🤣 so it depends on your preferences.

Fantastic value for 8 crew members: 5 adults and 3 children. Safety was excellent. Very quiet on the Shannon and river Boyle relaxing and calm. Lots of berthing options some with everything despite recent storm damage. Strongly recommended for those looking for an escape holiday
