Dublin Bay Sail

From: 1,000 (p/p or per event ex-vat)

Dublin Bay Sail offers a blended mix of a unique sailing experience along the picturesque East Coast of Dublin along with a programme that involves coastal explorations, identifying destinations, navigation, VHF, setting sails and anchoring. Under our watchful eye, your team can take on full operation of the ship. The vessel carries Irish Department of Marine Passenger licensing for up to 12 passengers and is suitable for a broad range of activities. She is very stable, very comfortable with an internal wheelhouse, central heating, fully equipped kitchen, cushioned seating and the large galley table. She can sleep up to 12 adults, and has a large diesel engine, perfect for when there is no wind.

*You can choose what type of experience you would like for your team. A skills based teambuilding program, a leisurely sail, or a balanced mix between the two.
