the Skipper
A second generation Skelligs’ boat skipper, John O Shea has the local islands in his blood and he departs daily for the Skelligs from Derrynane Harbour, a smuggling port used by the O’Connell clan of the famous Daniel ‘The Liberator’ O’Connell. 
The Skelligs Tour
The tour takes you past Deenish and Scariff Islands in the wildlife abundant Kenmare Bay and the highlight of the trip is a 2.5 hours stopover on Skellig Michael – a 1,500-year-old monastic settlement which is a designated UNESCO World Heritage Site. On the return journey, you can take in close-up views of the Little Skellig, home to over 27,000 breeding pairs of gannets – making it the second largest gannet colony in the world. If you are lucky, we may be also be joined by curious dolphins on the return leg, while your skipper John O’Shea will often catch a few fish to cook and share on the voyage home..

Experience the Skellig Isles
Live a little
“The most fantastic and impossible rock in the world: Skellig Michael…where in south west gales the spray knocks stones out of the lighthouse keeper’s house…the Skelligs are pinnacled, crocketed, spired, arched, caverned, minaretted; and these gothic extravagances are not curiosities of the islands: they are the islands: there is nothing else. The rest of the cathedral may be under the sea for all I know…An incredible, impossible, mad place…I tell you the thing does not belong to any world that you and I have lived and worked in: it is part of our dream world.”

George Bernard Shaw 1910
