Lakeside Day Boat Hire, a seasoned and well established business, has a variety of different boats available for hire, ranging from 17 to 25 feet long, along with a few smaller vessels. One full day's boat hire is from 10am until 6pm.

Lough Ree, serving as a border between Counties Longford, Westmeath, and Roscommon, is studded with many beautiful and unspoiled islands and is believed to be a place of great myth and legend. There are a number of attractions along the river such as Glasson Lakehouse, Wineport Lodge and Coosan Point. All are easily accessible by the boats.

Lakeside Day Boat Hire is popular with anglers. Fishing on the Shannon River reveals a range of coarse fish and pike as well as trout and salmon. Additionally, visitors can spend a full day fishing on Lough Ree's inner lakes with their new and fully equipped lake boats. The boats have all the amenities needed to take from 4 to 8 people comfortably for the duration of the trip. Tack and rods for fishing can be made available on prior request before departure.
