Charter boat HARPY

HARPY

The charter boat HARPY offers great space for 12 passengers & all their angling equipment. HARPY is fast, comfortable and fully licensed by the Department of Marine to "P5" standard - safe to operate up to 30 nautical miles from port. This 43', Cork-built Aquastar has an island wheelhouse and is especially suited for deep sea angling, diving and wildlife tours in the waters experienced off Ireland's south coast.
She will take you to the fishing grounds and back in comfort and safety and at speed.

Another great thing when fishing from Kinsale is the diversity of things to see on the way to/from the fishing grounds. The Old forts, battle sites, quays that saw kings arrive in glory and leave in ignomy, the Blockhouse, hangman's point...

Just checking! You will have noticed, of course, that this is in fact a gray seal - coming aboard for free fish.
