1 Day Sailing Trip on Lough Foyle

About

Try a day’s sailing to get a taste for sea adventures. We’ll sail up Lough Foyle, taking in the spectacular views of Inishowen, County Donegal & Benevenagh in County Derry, along the way. Visit Greencastle, County Donegal, Portrush, County Antrim, & Rathin Island.

You will be in the safe hands of our experienced skipper, Daniel Gallagher, who has over 30,000 nautical miles under his belt. Dan is a qualified RYA Cruising Instructor, Yacht Master Ocean and RYA Advanced Powerboat Instructor.

Sailing from Lough Foyle offers “probably” the best cruising area in the world. Depending on your experience and on how much you want to learn, you decide how ‘hands on’ you want to be. We offer on-board tuition in the operation of the vessel, safety procedures, introduction to sailing and navigation. If you want to take the wheel, Dan will be at your side, and you can all pull together as a crew, no matter how much experience you have. Your trip includes all teaching aids and books necessary to prepare you for your Coastal Skipper/Yacht Master exam.

Our yacht, ‘Coriolis’ is a fast sailyacht and it performs beyond expectations. It behaves just as well on short active racing tacks as on laid-back cruises downwind.

Though it’s primarily built for active sailing, it is also a great example of good living afloat. Below deck, is a magnificently crafted interior in fine wood. There’s a handsome saloon for entertaining, three double cabins, and two head compartments with shower. There is plenty of locker and stowage space and an enviable galley (kitchen) for cooking. Everything has been designed for comfort and convenience, and a high standard of on-board living.
