Cape Clear Ferries operate year round services to Cape Clear Island, Ireland’s southernmost Gaeltacht island, from Baltimore and Schull in County Cork. Seasonal Fastnet Rock cruises offer spectacular scenery and opportunities to spot whales, dolphins and a wide variety of seabirds.
Cape Clear Ferries operate year round services from Baltimore Pier and from Schull Pier from June to August, out to Cape Clear Island.
Seasonal cruises to Fastnet Rock Lighthouse run from April to October. Make a day of it with the Fastnet Day Tour, which includes a visit to Cape Clear’s remote shores and traditional Irish speaking community before cruising out to the world famous Fastnet Rock, known as the “Teardrop of Ireland.” As you sail deeper into the Wild Atlantic Ocean, watch out for whales, dolphins, basking sharks, seals and seabirds in one of Ireland’s richest marine wildlife areas. Please note that sailings are weather dependent.
