KERRY'S MOST EXCLUSIVE VOYAGES
Created by Elizabeth and Brendan, their exclusive private charters bring guests into the heart of the Skellig Coast, where Atlantic beauty and deep-rooted heritage shape an experience that feels luxurious and deeply personal. Drawing on years of experience and a true love for Valentia Island, they guide each journey with ease, allowing guests to relax as the day unfolds.
A custom-built vessel with spacious seating, premium finishes and a smooth, sheltered passage sets the tone from the moment you step aboard. This is an exceptional way to explore Páirc Náisiúnta na Mara, a remarkable part of Kerry’s Wild Atlantic Way where cliffs, quiet coves and timeless stories reveal themselves at an unhurried pace.
As the day develops, each charter reveals something new. Wildlife appearing across the water, changing light on the sea or the movement of the Atlantic can transform the horizon in an instant. With Elizabeth and Brendan at the helm, guests reach places few travellers ever see, guided by their storytelling and deep connection to these waters. Charters are available as half-day escapes or full-day adventures, with flexible durations and signature touches available on request, inviting you to shape the day in a way that feels truly your own.
From intimate celebrations to time spent exploring Ireland’s wild shores, every experience unfolds with a sense of place that is both meaningful and unforgettable. Guided by the people who know these waters best, guests gain a deeper connection to the spirit of South Kerry.
AquaTerra is more than a boat tour. It is a journey created for those who seek the extraordinary, revealing Ireland’s coastline in a way that stays with you long after you return to shore.

EXCELLENT Based on 155 reviews Posted on Russell PendockTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. An Absolute Must-Do Experience! We had the most incredible day out with AquaTerra Boat Tours! From start to finish, Elizabeth and Brendan were amazing hosts — friendly, knowledgeable, and so passionate about the Skellig Islands and the surrounding area. The boat was extremely comfortable, spacious, and clearly very well maintained, which made the journey so enjoyable. The commentary was fantastic — informative, and full of fascinating stories about the history, wildlife, and local life. Seeing the Skellig Islands up close was absolutely breathtaking — a true highlight of our trip to Ireland. If you’re visiting this area, this tour is a must-do. You won’t find a better way to experience the beauty and magic of the Skelligs!Posted on Paula O'MeliaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Highly recommend!Posted on LaurenTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This tour was fantastic. The boat was comfortable and Brendan and Elizabeth were lovely. Elizabeth has clearly put a TON of work into her historical/geological/animal research and the love and care very much shows. The ride was surprisingly smooth for October. 11/10 do this.Posted on Lee HusseyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Elizabeth and Brendan were amazing!

Une superbe excursion Des sensations sur le trajets et nous avons adoré la beauté le l île. Le capitaine et son adjointe etaient très sympa. Que du positifPosted on Miriam VennTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Die Skellig Michael Landing Tour war sehr gut organisiert und professionell durchgeführt. Tourguide und Kapitän waren sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Wir haben uns zu jeder Zeit gut aufgehoben gefühlt und hatten eine tolle Zeit auf der Insel sowie bei der Umrundung. Das Boot ist modern und vergleichsweise schnell. Im Unterschied zu den anderen Booten, die die Insel besucht haben, saßen wir zu jeder Zeit trocken. Wir können die Tour uneingeschränkt empfehlen.Posted on Philippa BrennanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Just an incredible experience. Took part in a Skellig Michael landing tour, booked via a third party. Was extremely lucky to find myself onboard the Skellig Bounty! As others have mentioned, the boat is brand new - and frankly miles above the other boats I saw that operate on this route for the same prices. The seats were incredibly comfortable and there was space to stand out the back for better views if you wished. Elizabeth & Brendan were wonderful hosts - equal parts friendly, informative, fun yet safety-focused. At all times I felt safe, comfortable and happy during my time with them. I cannot say enough good things and would highly recommend this company. To top it all off, they even made sure we had good weather and saw a pod of dolphins on our way back....just going above and beyond....!
