Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Wide open seas, plentiful, secluded anchorages, interesting navigational challenges, beautiful scenery and great hospitality – these are only some of the reasons why you must sail the south and southwest coast of Ireland. From Shannon Estuary to St. George’s Channel, a good day’s sailing is rewarded with overnight moorings that are often serene yet convenient for excellent eating and good humoured company.

The scenery varies from mountainous to pastoral but never fails to provide ‘balm’. The cliffs around the Dingle peninsula are majestic while the Castletownshed anchorage is tranquility defined. West of Kinsale the coastal communities are individual and somewhat idiosyncratic. In other words, sail around Munster and you won’t be disappointed.

Detailed descriptions of every entrance, harbour, anchorage and service in the area accompany stunning aerial photography and charts giving the yachtsman the ideal resource for cruising.

Southern Ireland Cruising Companions includes sections on weather, tides, charts, passage planning and getting there are away followed by a background briefing for those visiting Ireland for the first time. Individual sections describe local culture and history, and detailed shoreside destinations include sights, museums, restaurants and bars.
