Over the Irish Sea.

Snipe and Taurus have a little bit of a reputation for adventurous cruising under previous owners, so for 2012, we thought we might explore some uncharted waters (for hotel boats at least) of our own, and take the pair over to Ireland for part of the summer – we’ve checked the dimensions and we will fit on most of the waterways over there.
We think it would be quite exciting, and after some initial talks with Waterways Ireland, the navigation authority over there, they are very keen to have us. Our big question is, would you, the guests, like to explore Ireland on board Snipe & Taurus? We will of course do our joining instructions well in advance, and we have already looked into how to get you there by air or sea (including our own taxi transfers from Dublin), to make it as easy for you as possible.

We wouldn’t spend the whole summer over there, so there would still be the opportunity to cruise the canals and rivers of England and Wales as we always do, but before we put out a cruising schedule we would love to know what you think.

Most of the waterways shown on your map are rivers rather than canals, and there are many large lakes on the Shannon and Erne. You might be restricted to travelling in good weather when winds are low.

Thanks Brian, we’re looking into it at the moment and I have been in contact with Neil Arlidge (Nb Earnest) already. Any advice you can offer would be most welcome at all times.

Ireland would be great. I’m cruising with you in September, and if it turns out to be have as great as I expect it to be, I would certainly be up for Ireland!

Very interested in a canal trip in Ireland in May of 2012
