Skellig Coast Discovery

Boat trips and wildlife tours including whale and dolphin watching in Caherdaniel , South Kerry, Ire Welcome aboard Skellig Coast Discovery.

On the Skellig Coast Discovery you will uncover the history, fascinating places, stories, folklore and wildlife that the Skellig Coast has to offer. Learn about the first settlers to the area, smuggling, copper mining, cable cars, fishing, sunken cannons, mythical islands, the monks of Skellig and Ireland’s most famous man, Daniel O’Connell. Your voyage is a unique insight into the amazing place w

e call ‘Skellig Coast’! Born and reared at Rath, Caherdaniel, Skipper Des O'Shea grew up by the sea in an era when boat building was still being carried out. Stories of Seine Boat fishing for Mackerel under dark moonless nights abound, as did stories of shipwrecks and smuggling. He often remembers fishing the coast with his father in locally made wooden boats. Generations of O’Sheas lived, farmed and fished the seas around Kenmare Bay and Derrynane. In 2010, Des acquired his first boat to take people out on the bay. The experience of seeing the coast from the sea and its associated wildlife is something that very few have experienced. With that in mind, in 2011, Des launched ‘Iolar Na Mara (Eagle of the Sea), a purpose built sea going vessel. The boat is fully licensed by the Department of the Marine to carry 12 passengers. Des has developed specific routes enabling passenger experiences that vary by coastline. These include;

• The Beara Coast, Islands and the Bull Rock
• Killmacillogue and Kenmare Bay
• The Skellig Coast, Derrynane and its Islands
• Whale, Dolphin and Marine wildlife watching

In 2016, Des celebrated his 20th year as a volunteer for the Derrynane Inshore Rescue Lifeboat something that he is extremely proud of. This year sees the launch of Des’s marine tours company – Skellig Coast Discovery catering for people and tourists who want to experience the maritime heritage, locations and destinations that make the Skellig Coast so special.

The coming season marks 40 years of Derrynane Sea sports!! There is no doubt it looks different to how any of us imagined.

In saying that, the best way to celebrate a great lady, 40 years of a brilliant business, fun and great times on the water is to make it a super summer that would make Helen proud!

We appreciate the continued support of all of customers and we look forward to seeing you all in 2024 🛶 ⛵️ 🌊!!

Get in touch via the website or [email protected] to book for camps/lessons or call 0879081208 ☺️
