Dingle Boat Tours operates from Dingle, County Kerry, offering a range of guided and self-drive boat experiences in Dingle Bay and around the Blasket Islands. The company runs wildlife-focused eco tours, dolphin and whale watching cruises, RIB sea safaris, fishing trips, harbour cruises, self-drive boat hire, private charters and the seasonal ferry to the Great Blasket Island.
Each trip is led by an experienced local skipper who provides commentary on geology, wildlife and local history, and follows marine-safety procedures. The fleet includes a 12-passenger private boat option and fast RIBs for wildlife adventures, and boats are equipped for fishing and sightseeing. Tours visit features such as 350-million-year-old sandstone cliffs, sea caves, sea arches and the coastline within Ireland's only National Marine Park.
Wildlife highlights include bottlenose dolphins, seals, puffins and occasional whale sightings depending on season and conditions. The Dingle Blasket Island ferry offers landings and guided visits to the uninhabited Great Blasket Island and its village ruins. Fishing trips target species like pollack, mackerel, ling and cod, suitable for anglers of all levels. Self-drive pink boats are available for families and small groups with on-site instruction.
Bookings, schedules and safety briefings are managed from Dingle Marina; seasonal availability varies with weather and sea conditions. Safety briefings, lifejackets and modern navigational equipment are provided on all trips to ensure compliance with marine safety standards and passenger comfort assurance.
