As you glide through the UNESCO Biosphere of Dublin Bay, you’ll witness breathtaking views of the coastline, including iconic landmarks like the Martello Towers and Dalkey Island. The scenery is complemented by the stunning architecture of the jaw-dropping houses that dot the shoreline.

Dublin Bay is home to a diverse array of marine life. Passengers may spot playful seals, various sea birds, and, with a bit of luck, even dolphins and harbour porpoises. Our tours are designed to immerse you in this vibrant ecosystem, providing opportunities to observe wildlife in their natural habitat.

Each tour includes engaging narratives about the local history and culture. Learn about the fascinating stories of Dun Laoghaire Harbour, its historical significance, and local legends that have shaped the area. Our skippers share insights that enrich your understanding of this beautiful region.

To ensure your comfort regardless of the weather, we provide all-weather thermal clothing, life jackets, and binoculars for wildlife spotting. This means you can focus on enjoying your adventure without worrying about the elements.

Our tours are not just about sightseeing; they are educational journeys. Passengers will learn about the incredible biodiversity present in Dublin Bay, from jellyfish to seals, enhancing their appreciation for marine life and conservation efforts.

Goat Boat Tours is designed to be family-friendly, welcoming children aged 7 and above. This makes it a perfect outing for families looking to explore our nature and adventure together.
