We had a wonderful evening last Saturday night with Sean Keane, a celebrated traditional Irish musician renowned for his powerful vocals. With over 30 years in the music industry, Sean has captivated audiences around the world, performing with legends such as The Chieftains and Lรบnasa, and releasing multiple critically acclaimed albums that showcase his deep connection to Irish culture.
As we sailed out from Nancy's Point, the Connemara Lady was filled with enchanting music and captivating stories from this incredible musician. A capacity crowd enjoyed the warm hospitality aboard, creating a memorable atmosphere that resonated with the spirit of the West of Ireland.
Crew member Declan also graced us with a few songs, and, as always, these performances were hugely appreciated by the audience, adding a personal touch to the evening.
We continue sailing daily until the end of September, departing Nancy's Point at 10:30 AM, 12:30 PM, and 2:30 PM. With the barometer set fair for the coming week, there's no better time to marvel at the awe-inspiring scenery of the Killary Fjord in all her autumnal colours.

Today, we welcomed numerous small craft, known as RIBs, on Killary Fjord as they made a slight detour during the Inisboffin charity rib run.
A RIB, or rigid inflatable boat, combines a traditional rigid hull with an inflatable collar. This design makes the boat stable, light, fast, and seaworthy. The inflatable collar functions like a life jacket, ensuring the vessel remains buoyant even if it takes on water.
Every day on Killary Fjord brings new experiences. Join us to discover what adventures await. Book now at www.killaryfjord.ie.

Dolphins at Killary Fjord Boat Tours
Despite the overcast weather, the Connemara Lady was once again accompanied this afternoon by the resident pod of bottlenose dolphins from the Killary Fjord.
These playful creatures love riding the bow waves of the Connemara Lady and are often spotted at the mouth of the fjord where it meets the Atlantic Ocean.
The pod is healthy and continues to grow each year, reflecting the thriving ecosystem and pristine waters of the Killary Fjord.
Join us on a tour of the Killary Fjord and you might be lucky enough to encounter its most exuberant residents!

Our friends, the resident pod of Bottlenose Dolphins, joined the Connemara Lady once again this morning, racing the bow waves and putting on a great show for our passengers.
Below decks, our crew can often hear the dolphins before they appear. They (the dolphins, not our staff!) communicate with a series of clicks and whistles which also double up as a very sensitive sonar system, allowing them to navigate and locate food.
Scientists have proven that dolphins actually give themselves names! A dolphin will use a custom set of whistles to refer to itself. Researchers have been able to mimic these sounds using computers and observe the dolphins responding to their own names, and those of their pod mates.
Book your cruise today at www.killaryfjord.com and maybe you too will be able to observe these incredible animals.

It's not just those that travel on water that visit Killary Fjord! This airborne tourist was captured yesterday by Gordon, the skipper.
We would imagine that the view from up there is amazing, but the Connemara Lady prefers to stay at sea level and take a more leisurely pace along the Fjord.
Why not join us yourself and see why Killary Fjord has been described as one of the most beautiful places in Ireland. All sailings are selling out fast and so, as always, we advise booking online in advance to ensure that you will not be disappointed.

A fantastic video of the Killary Fjord's local pod of dolphins, captured by crew member Joyce Sammon.
The bottlenose dolphins often join the Connemara Lady as she cruises the fjord, having great fun leaping through the bow waves and putting on a show for our lucky passengers.
An adult bottlenose dolphin weighs an average of 300 kg (660 pounds) and can reach lengths of over 4 meters (13 feet). A bottlenose dolphin lives for around 40 years, although some have reached the age of 60. They are also considered to be one of the most intelligent of the oceans inhabitants, with mimicry, tool use and strong familial bonds all being observed within pods.
With the summer weather really upon as now, why not join us for a trip aboard the Connemara Lady. We can't always promise dolphins, however we do guarantee that you will have an amazing adventure on the Killary Fjord.
The Cafรฉ / Bar is open to all passengers but, as we are still limiting the numbers of guests on board, we do strongly recommend booking your ticket in advance at www.killaryfjord.com to avoid disappointment.
