An Irish river journey
Individual river towns and your chosen departure point matter on a Shannon trip. This grouping is separate from the Erne lakes destination. Ireland’s connected waterways do not mean that one hire offer automatically covers every part of the network.
Before you charter
What is bareboat charter?
You charter the boat and provide your own suitably qualified skipper and crew. Qualification requirements vary by boat, operator and sailing area. We help check your documents and the charter terms for your chosen boat.
What will your charter cost?
The search price is the boat's charter price. The boat page lists known mandatory charges, optional extras and a separate security deposit. Review the complete offer for your dates; any costs still awaiting confirmation must be checked before booking.
How does a charter request work?
- Choose your dates, departure base and boat.
- Review the charter price, charges, deposit and qualification requirements.
- Send your request. Yachting Planet checks availability and terms before confirming the charter.
