What We Do

2 Hours including walking the harbour and indoor session, lively debate of all things fishing and related. We don’t mind discussing controversial topics such as over-fishing, plastics in the oceans, conservation methods and much more – you won’t be bored. We give short displays on how all the modern equipment is used on board vessels, fishing methods, navigation and safety measures amongst many other topics.

 Morning or afternoon including harbour and classroom sessions as per above. We have extra time to have fun learning tying knots and splicing. We’ll ask another retired skipper join us for Q and A and regale us in the old stories of what experiences he came across during his career as a skipper. Finish with a scrumptious 3 course seafood meal in the Oar House Seafood restaurant (not including wine).

A relaxed day long (course 10am to 4 pm) with above plus light lunch from 1 to 2 pm. Boat trip around Ireland’s Eye (weather permitting – refundable €50 if unsuitable) and visits to net making factory and boats in dry dock.

Wind down the day by finishing with a 3 course meal with wine (1 bottle per couple), 4 –6pm.
