Had a great time on this cruise. The views were amazing and the whole experience felt relaxed and well run. The captain was excellent very friendly, and clearly experienced, which made the trip even better. He interacted with passengers explained what we were seeing and even let me see where the boat was being driven and took a photo, which was a really nice touch. The boat itself was comfortable and the route around the cliffs was stunning. I’d definitely recommend this to anyone visiting Howth or looking for something different to do.

I had an absolutely wonderful time during the ride. Every moment on the water was filled with excitement and beauty, as the waves danced around us in such a captivating way. The movement of the water was refreshing and thrilling, making the entire journey truly memorable. Above all, the mastery and confidence with which the vessel was handled stood out remarkably. It was clear that the captain’s skill and experience made the ride not only enjoyable but also safe and smooth. Overall, it was an amazing experience that I will gladly remember and appreciate for a long time.

Beautiful boat ride around the harbor and protected island. Be prepared to bundle up with it being much cooler/windy at sea (vessel doesn't have an indoor area so you're exposed to the elements). There is an audio recording for significant sights while the captain stops for photo opportunities. Easy to access via public transportation from Howth DART station.

We had an amazing cruise, learned about the area and enjoyed the sunset. It was beautiful to be on the water and enjoy Ortigia from a different view!

We booked the Sunset Cruise for the Friday evening of a sunny summer day, and the views were breathtaking. The cruise takes you around Ireland’s Eye Island, allowing you to get closer views of the magnificent cliffs. During the evening, when all the birds have returned to their nests, you can witness a magnificent view of the island. Some birds are still hunting for food on the water, and the view of them flying while the sun sets behind the beautiful orange sky is simply mesmerising. I highly recommend this cruise for young couples or an unforgettable date night in Dublin. Families can also enjoy an evening out on this cruise. Occasionally, you may spot seals peeking out of the water and looking at you.

Took the Howth Cliff Cruise recently and honestly, the views are absolutely stunning if you can manage to squeeze out to the front of the boat—seeing Ireland’s Eye and all the seabirds up close is really special. That said, the boat itself could use some TLC, and the windows are basically impossible to see out of, so don’t expect much if you’re hoping to enjoy the scenery from inside. If your cruise is full, you’ll want to be first on board to grab a good spot, otherwise you might be stuck at the back or inside with no view. Overall, it’s worth it for the scenery, just go in with realistic expectations about the boat and try to get outside for the best experience.
