Ireland, situated on the edge of Europe,
is a clean, unpolluted island country with over 5,600 kilometres of
coastline and hundreds of lakes and rivers, making it one of the
world’s great watersport playgrounds. More than 700km of rivers, lakes
and canals have been sensitively developed to create the perfect
environment for boating holidays. The only commercial traffic you are
likely to encounter is the occasional lake boat with a couple of
professional fishermen long-lining for eels or a local farmer
transporting sheep to an inland pasture.
Ireland is one of the world’s most
attractive places to sail, offering an astounding variety of sea and
lake, with clear waters, generous breezes and remarkable natural
beauty. If you’re looking for pure enjoyment and personal fulfilment,
sailing in Ireland is one of the finest ways to achieve it.
Ireland’s perfect geographical
position provides perfect surfing conditions, especially along the
rugged north, west and south coasts. These coastlines are greatly
indented from the constant pounding of Atlantic waves, picking up
exciting swells as the ocean travels north-eastwards.
