Ireland has Europe’s longest network of
waterways purely for pleasure cruising. More than 700km of rivers,
lakes and canals have been sensitively developed to create the perfect
environment for boating holidays. The only commercial traffic you are
likely to encounter is the occasional lake boat with a couple of
professional fishermen long-lining for eels or a local farmer
transporting sheep to an inland pasture.
Clients include couples who may never have set foot on a boat before
and are uncertain about what’s involved; families in search of an
adventure that is also safe; groups of friends seeking fun and
fellowship; busy executives in need of a relaxing break in serene
surroundings; and discerning travellers who are weary of
run-of-the-mill destinations and desire to do something different.
Linking the island are 5
main waterways: the River Shannon, the Shannon Erne Link, the Erne
Waterway, the Grand Canal and the Barrow Navigation. Made up of
connecting canals, lakes, rivers, and inlets, they provide a
constantly changing environment for your cruising holiday. With
moorings only a short distance from each other, you can cruise in full
confidence that you're never far from the next stop on your itinerary.
Given the vital part traditionally played by the waterways in
Ireland's development, lively villages proliferate around the rivers
and canals, giving you total freedom to enjoy your boating holiday as
you wish. |
