Dublin Bay Cruises

• Family friendly
• Cloudy days

The 75 minute cruise takes in a variety of scenery and landmarks along the way, and you'll travel through time to understand how and why Dublin became the capital city of Ireland. The cruise is a chilled, relaxing way to experience Dublin from an entirely new vantage point.

Dublin Bay Cruises is managed and operated by the Garrihy family, who have many decades experience on the sea, particularly on the west coast of Ireland where they operate Cliffs Of Moher Cruises and Doolin2Aran Ferries.

The 75 minute Dublin Bay Cruise links with Dublin's commuter train at both harbours and takes you across beautiful Dublin Bay. Other landmarks include the gloriously untouched Ireland’s Eye and scenic Howth Head. To the south you will view Dún Laoghaire Harbour, the James Joyce Martello Tower at Sandycove (where James Joyce spent 6 nights and set the first scene of his 'Ulysses'), then Dalkey Island with its adorable grey seals and more. To the north you will pass by Clontarf, Bull Island Nature Reserve, Baily Lighthouse, Ireland's Eye Island and the rugged coastline of Howth Hill, ending at the picturesque Howth Harbour with its working fishing pier.

On board you can enjoy a commentary while you drink a beverage of your choice, relax and enjoy the beautiful views of the bay in the shadow of the Dublin Mountains. You can return back to the city centre from either Howth or Dún Laoghaire via the DART train with a discounted train ticket, or you can meet the boat at either harbour and cruise back to Dublin. The train journey takes about 30 minutes. If you choose to cycle on the new cycle track around the edge of Dublin Bay from Sutton to Sandycove, you can take your bike on board the boat to cross the bay.

Also, if you choose to do two journeys on Dublin Bay Cruises, the second leg is substantially discounted. Kids under the age of 3 are free and buggies are welcome on board. These award winning cruises are also perfect for corporate events and private parties.

So, there are several different boat trips in Dublin that you can head off on with these lads, and they vary in price, departure point and destination.

• Dalkey Island from Dun Laoghaire
• Howth to Ireland’s Eye
• Howth to Dun Laoghaire
• Dun Laoghaire to Howth
• Dublin City to Dun Laoghaire
• Dun Laoghaire to Dublin City
• Dublin City to Howth via Dun Laoghaire

1. Dublin City to Howth via Dun Laoghaire

Photo by Peter Krocka (Shutterstock)

• Departure point: Dublin city
• Cost: €32 per seat
• Length of time: 2 hours 10 minutes

This trip takes you from the city to Dun Laoghaire Harbour in the south and from there to the traditional fishing of Howth , where you’ll find some great places to walk and amazing fish restaurants.

What you’ll see on your way to both destinations are sights you wouldn’t otherwise see from such a great angle, including the Poolbeg Lighthouse , Ireland Eye and the docklands.

Howth Harbour is known for its many seals so watch out for those grey heads bobbing up and down or basking in the sun.

2. Dun Laoghaire to Dublin City

Photo by Lukas Bischoff Photograph (Shutterstock)

• Departure point: Dun Laoighre
• Cost: €25 per seat
• Length of time: 60-70 minutes

How about this for a commute to the city with a difference?! The Dun Laoghaire cruise to Dublin will take you the scenic way to Dublin via the water.

Sights you will see on the way include the Convention Centre, which has hosted some 2,000 events since opening in 2010.

The stunning glass-fronted atrium gives viewers panoramic views of the River Liffey, and on the cruises you will get to see it from a different angle. It’s fantastic at night, thanks to the lighting at the front, making it a distinctive feature of the Dublin skyline.

3. Dublin City to Dun Laoghaire

• Cost: €25
• Buy your ticket here (affiliate link)

Sail from the city to the beautiful harbour at Dun Laoghaire. This port town has been popular with visitors since Victorian times and here you will find brightly painted villas, palm trees and townland parks.

You could try sailing, take a dip in the waters, visit a museum and, of course, ensure it’s a proper seaside trip by eating a 99 ice cream cone on the pier.

All Dublin Bay Cruise participants can take advantage of the discount offered on the DART trains, entitling you to travel between any station on the Dun Laoghaire/Howth/Dun Laoghaire DART line on the same day of sailing for only €2.00.

4. Dun Laoghaire to Howth

Howth is one of Ireland’s most beautiful fishing villages, and a popular place for the seal population. It is also one of Dublin’s oldest working harbours and a busy fishing port.

You can spend a morning doing the Howth Cliff Walk or one of the  many  other things to do in Howth , or you can kick-back with a meal in one of the Howth restaurants .

The Waterside and McNeill’s of Howth specialise in fish and chips, while King Stiric offers Dublin Bay prawns and lobster that you can eat in view of the sea that they came from or why not try oysters at the East Café bar?

5. Howth to Dun Laoghaire

• Departure point: Howth

Once you’ve finished your tour of Howth, why not visit Dun Laoghaire, where you can relax on board the ship with a cup of coffee or a glass of wine?

One the journey, you will pass the island of Ireland’s Eye and Lambay Island to the north, and you will also be able to see the wildlife sanctuary at North Bull Island . The island has the most designations of any site in Ireland, including National Bird Sanctuary, National Nature Reserve and Special Protection Area.

Birds on the island include wading species such as Eurasian curlews and oystercatchers and redshanks, and others such as shelduck, teal and pale-bellied brent geese.

6. Howth to Ireland’s Eye

• Length of time: One hour

What could be more relaxing than an hour-long cruise on the St Bridget from Howth Harbour to Ireland’s Eye ?

You can settle back in your seat on board with a cup of tea or coffee or even a glass of wine and enjoy the bird’s eye (boom, boom!) view of the bird and seal colony at Ireland’s Eye.

The island is also home to the remains of a former monastic settlement established there at the beginning of the 8th century, where the Garlands of Howth religious manuscript is thought to have been written. These days, large numbers of guillemots, terns, gannets, razorbills, cormorants and puffins nest there.

Segha Birthday outing

Second time doing this trip. Weather was good. Staff very friendly. Saw lots of birds of various species. Dolphins accompanied the boat around Howth Head. Dined afterwards in the Our House which is one of the many good restaurants on Howth Pier. I would highly recommend this trip

Stunning Views of Dublin – For anyone wishing to capture stunning views of Dublin with unique angles only possible from a boat, this tour is the ideal way to do so. We were blessed with great weather as well, although the waves were a bit choppy. The staff were all very welcoming and friendly.
