Are you a fan of thrills and community living? In Ireland, there’s nothing more beautiful than embarking on a proud sailboat, and experiencing unforgettable moments off the Irish coast!

It’s the perfect opportunity to discover the art of navigation, while enjoying the enchanting scenery of cliffs, beaches and green valleys!

If you’re ever tempted to embark on a sailboat, there are many ways to make your stay unforgettable.

Companies like Filovent, for example, offer an impressive catalog of sailboats available in different countries. For Ireland, Filovent lets you choose the boat of your dreams, and book the holiday that’s right for you.

The information for each sailboat is then transparent and clearly stipulated. For each boat, you’ll find out :

  • home port (place of departure and end of stay)
  • boat model,
  • of its engine power,
  • equipment,
  • its capacity (number of people, number of berths, etc.)
  • of its daily cost,
  • of the security deposit,
  • of the fare to be accompanied by a skipper (food included in the fare)
  • of the fare for each night spent on board,
  • etc…

In short: Filovent plays the transparency card, so you can plan the most beautiful sailing trip of your life! No secrets, no hidden costs: everything is agreed in advance to avoid unpleasant surprises! A real comfort!

The icing on the cake: you can even rent additional equipment on site, such as seawear and sheets… We’ve thought of everything to make your life easier!

Of course, you can also rent the boat yourself, without a skipper, provided you have the required license and a solid knowledge of navigation. Of course, the condition of the yacht will be checked before you take over, and a new inspection will be carried out when you return the boat.

As for insurance, all our boats are fully insured. However, the establishment recommends that you take out their Cancellation and/or Deposit Repurchase insurance.

Freedom is yours!

Once you’ve chartered your yacht, all you have to do is enjoy! You’ll be able to sit back and enjoy the pleasures of pleasure! It’s up to you to map out your itinerary, follow the coastline to your heart’s content, choose your anchorage for the night and organize your stopovers ashore!

Most of our sailboats depart from Kinsale (Co. Cork). It’s the ideal place to discover the south-west of Ireland and its wonders, such as County Kerry and County Clare!

Above all, don’t hesitate to ask your skipper for advice. He knows the area like the back of his hand, and will be able to point you in the right direction to the most beautiful places in Ireland!

Last but not least, a sea voyage is also an experience that requires a little organization on board. You’ll be expected to take part in some of the everyday tasks of life at sea: anticipating food shopping, cleaning the yacht, preparing meals… etc. Necessary tasks which, although tedious, will add charm to your trip, and give you a taste for community life! A real human adventure!
