Couple visit to Cobh.

Being a fan of the sea, history and nature, this was a great outing and would recommend for anyone who loves the sea, nature and history. It was a one day visit and it was long enough to tour the harbour as well as a walk around Cobh and visit to the local pubs. Fee could be a bit lower though. Atmosphere was great. The weather was perfect as well and it felt safe all through even when on the high seas. I loved that it was well organized and it wasn't crowded. The staff were friendly and displayed professionalism. I particularly loved the display of knowledge of history of the harbour. We were able to see some wildlife, great rock formations/caves, various previous military establishments and tunnels, etc. The St Colman Cathedral is an architectural beauty sitting at the summit of the hill.

A fantastic evening on board Lightning.

We booked this trip as a corporate event and from initial contact with Deborah for organising, to the actual trip on the day with Tadgh and Jamie -- it was perfect . The staff are so knowledgeable about the harbour, the RIB we were on was called Lightning. We took in the harbour and also a trip to the city. Well done to Richie and all the team. It was a pleasure.
