The O’Grady Family have been operating a service to Clare Island since 1880.
The “Pirate Queen” is named after the infamous 16th-century Grace O’Malley who was a ‘director of thieves and murderers at sea”.
The Clew Bay Queen takes 20 minutes to make the crossing and The Sea Sprinter takes 10 minutes.
The journey gives enough time to view and photograph a most spectacular coastline which includes Achill Island, the Nephin Mountains, Clew Bay, Croagh Patrick, Killary Harbour, Renvyle, Inishbofin and more.
Special trips to and from Inishturk and Achill Island can be arranged for groups. For Island group activities, visit www.clareislandadventures.ie
