When it comes to fishing in Ireland, there are a multitude of offers and packages available…

These options depend above all on your desires and your fishing profile.

Generally speaking, there are two situations:

  • all-inclusive fishing holidays, where the angler is fully catered for by a tourist organization (including reception, accommodation, guide and fishing license ).
  • fishing trips where each angler has to organize his or her own stay (which involves managing all hotel logistics, as well as renting fishing equipment, purchasing fishing permits and licenses, etc.).

More specifically, we’re going to focus on option number 1, the all-inclusive fishing holiday. Practical, it lets you opt for a weekend where you don’t have to worry about a thing.

Many specialized fishing establishments offer this service. They support a wide range of elements:

  • Reception and return to the airport,
  • Book your accommodation,
  • Selection of fishing areas,
  • Supply of fishing rods and complementary equipment,
  • Supply of Irish boats or barques
  • Supply of fishing permits and licenses
  • Professional guidance (usually on the first day only)

Prices vary, but you should generally expect to pay €220 per day, all-inclusive (except for your plane ticket and catering).

You can therefore expect to pay an average of €500 for an all-inclusive fishing weekend in Ireland. You’ll also need to add your airfare and meals… and, of course, your extras!

Because these holidays can also take on a tourist dimension, where you can alternate a day of fishing with a day of sightseeing. In this case, you’ll have to pay for everything yourself.

Please note that when it comes to fishing holidays in Ireland, prices can of course vary, or decrease, depending on the fishing organization you find. There are also a number of specialized establishments for French people, with French fishing guides for better understanding.

Perfect for a beginner’s course, or for perfecting your skills, and benefiting from the best advice from local French people! It’s important to know that this type of weekend is suitable for all levels, whether you’re a beginner, an amateur or a great expert: here you’ll find formulas adapted to your desires and your fishing profile!

Above all, don’t hesitate to ask for several quotes: some services are different from others, depending on the options available, the level of support offered, and the type of fishing equipment provided.

Of course, the rule is always the same: the more comprehensive the service, the bigger the bill! But let’s face it: a fishing weekend in Ireland is simply a must-do at least once in your life! A chance to relax in the heart of nature, and connect with the immensity of Ireland’s wide open spaces.

Try it: you’ll come back transformed!
