Captain Your Own Cruiser!
It’s hard to imagine a more exciting and pleasurable way of exploring the lake and Ireland’s wonderful countryside!
You can captain your own fully-equipped and beautifully furnished luxury cruiser along the river Shannon and take to the waters. A whole new world opens up before you. Take as long as you need, from a 3 night break to as long as you need. And you can go onto the water for as little as three nights or for longer periods.
The placid, non-tidal waters of Lough Derg provide a marvellous setting as you set forth to relax, get away from it all, chill out slow down and enjoys nature’s delights at a pace far removed from the hustle and bustle of modern life.
For all boat users, you don’t need any licence to take to the waters here... and there’s plenty of tuition and safety advice available on a one-to-one basis to ensure you have a wonderful time.
You will be master of all you survey – in a beautiful setting where peace and quiet reigns. Unwind, take in the sights, savour the surroundings of beauty and antiquity.

Great for Anglers
And if you are an angling fan, hiring a cruiser with a group of friends or other enthusiasts offers great scope for a fulfilling holiday. There’s no better way to fish the rich waters than to be able to drop anchor when it pleases you, cast a line or launch a dinghy to explore more shallow waters. One of the most popular periods is in May during the Mayfly season.
