KERRY'S MOST EXCLUSIVE VOYAGES
Created by Elizabeth and Brendan, their exclusive private charters bring guests into the heart of the Skellig Coast, where Atlantic beauty and deep-rooted heritage shape an experience that feels luxurious and deeply personal. Drawing on years of experience and a true love for Valentia Island, they guide each journey with ease, allowing guests to relax as the day unfolds.
A custom-built vessel with spacious seating, premium finishes and a smooth, sheltered passage sets the tone from the moment you step aboard. This is an exceptional way to explore Páirc Náisiúnta na Mara, a remarkable part of Kerry’s Wild Atlantic Way where cliffs, quiet coves and timeless stories reveal themselves at an unhurried pace.
As the day develops, each charter reveals something new. Wildlife appearing across the water, changing light on the sea or the movement of the Atlantic can transform the horizon in an instant. With Elizabeth and Brendan at the helm, guests reach places few travellers ever see, guided by their storytelling and deep connection to these waters. Charters are available as half-day escapes or full-day adventures, with flexible durations and signature touches available on request, inviting you to shape the day in a way that feels truly your own.
From intimate celebrations to time spent exploring Ireland’s wild shores, every experience unfolds with a sense of place that is both meaningful and unforgettable. Guided by the people who know these waters best, guests gain a deeper connection to the spirit of South Kerry.
AquaTerra is more than a boat tour. It is a journey created for those who seek the extraordinary, revealing Ireland’s coastline in a way that stays with you long after you return to shore.

EXCELLENT Based on 170 reviews Posted on Google Malcolm WeeksTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Excellent service, very friendly crew that are extremely knowledgeable and professional!Posted on Google Jennie McManusTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The Skellig Landing was the most incredible experience - we loved touring around the islands, exploring the monastery and seeing puffins and gannets up close. Elizabeth and Brendan were wonderful guides and made us feel very safe as they expertly navigated the choppy waters. They also provided some great stories and recommendations of local highlights. The boat was very comfortable, warm and dry, which was a huge bonus considering most of the other boats we saw were open and the passengers got soaked. I couldn't recommend this tour more - it was the trip of a lifetime!Posted on Google Nick & KarenTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Excellent experience, we were very fortunate to have blue skies and great weather. Brendan and Elizabeth were fantastic hosts and very knowledgeable. The boat was more than capable and extremely comfortable. The audio guide was filled with information which added to the experience. Now the views - WOW - photos don't do the island justice. Must see experience. Thanks to AquaTerra for your care and expertise.Posted on Google Hanna HTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The Skellig Michael Landing Tour was an absolute highlight of our holiday!!! Elizabeth and Brendan were absolutely fantastic. They gave us lots of information, were very helpful and took us safely to the island and back. Unfortunately, our first tour booking had to be cancelled due to the weather. However, we were immediately offered alternatives or a refund. Communication was straightforward and easy, so we were able to enjoy our tour two days later in beautiful sunny weather. We would book the tour again anytime ☀️Posted on Google Aileen MaherTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. A fabulous day out. Brendan and Elizabeth were so engaging with their history and stories. They made sure everyone on the boat had a great experience. I would highly recommend it. AileenPosted on Google Nuala RiordanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We couldn’t have wished for better weather.

Met vriendelijke en geduldige bemanningPosted on Google Kate R (SN2016)Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Highly recommend using Aquaterra boat tours for your trip to view Skellig island. Elizabeth and Brendan are great guides, providing an audio listening device for in-depth story telling and also sharing lots of information along the route. They take safety very seriously which I appreciated. Great value at an affordable price! We saw 4 seals, a couple of puffins, many Gannets and several razorbills.Posted on Google Niamh O'SullivanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We did the 1.5 hour harbour boat trip and it was great. The guide, is as entertaining as she is knowledgable and there is a great boat pilot. The boat is immaculately clean and very comfortable. We saw some beautiful scenery and seals. We were lucky to go into an amazing cave. Really good value and we will most definitely be back!Posted on Google Nicolas SchuthTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had so much fun on our first tour – we booked again for the next day!
