Summary:
Top of the range glass covered boat so we got protection and still the views. Both Brendan and Elizabeth were so friendly and cheerful on arrival. Great safety advice and help with life jackets at the beginning. Elizabeth's knowledge of the area and history was outstanding, delivered clearly and with humour. Brendan the skipper, having been born on the island also told some local stories and pointed out areas of interest. An amazing trip...would highly recommend this company for this trip or to The Skelligs.
