Luxury PRIVATE CHARTERS

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.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had an outstanding day with AquaTerra on our trip to Skellig Michael. Brendan and Elizabeth were professional, welcoming, and clearly knew exactly what they were doing. Their vessel, the Skellig Bounty, was a huge plus for us too.

You’re seated comfortably and securely, and the design of the boat keeps you dry and protected from the elements, which we especially appreciated given the sea state that day. We saw other boats heading out with passengers sitting exposed on deck in big rubber raincoats, so the comfort of the Skellig Bounty really stood out. Even with fairly lively conditions the ride felt comfortable and safe throughout, and we always felt like we were in very capable hands.

What really stood out was how helpful they were beyond the tour itself. Elizabeth gave us several genuinely useful local recommendations, including a great seafood spot and very specific advice about getting there before opening because of the queue. We followed her advice almost to the minute, had an excellent dinner, and watched the line grow enormous behind us.

A fantastic experience from start to finish and one of the highlights of our nearly two weeks in Ireland. We would happily book with them again.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We traveled with AquaTerra Boat Tours on Sept. 13th.
List of why we were so glad we went with AquaTerra Boat Tours, Kerry:
-Covered Cabin: other boats were open air but we were dry and comfortable.
-front facing seats: they were comfortable and had seat belts. This made riding the waves much more comfortable. When the boats comes down from a wave crest, you want a good chair for the landing.
-Modern Boat and well maintained
-great open air deck: we made several photography stops and having the back area to sit or hold onto some handles for taking pics was fantastic. Also Elizabeth made sure to cover safety precautions while out there and watched over us. Also if anyone felt seasick we could head back for fresh air.
Final thoughts:
Elizabeth and Brendan were lovely. Attentive to people with sea sickness. Maintained good airflow in cabin. Communicative with conditions and landing. Made sure to stop for some wonderful wild life photography. We saw some dolphins!
Landing is always depending on weather and waters but AquaTerra had enough experience to give a good estimate on our chances.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Brendan & Elizabeth offer gold standard boat trips. I've sampled two already - Inishteraght & Skellig Michael Landing both of which were exceptional experiences in terms of booking and follow up communications, quality and comfort of boat, island history and commentary as you journey, etc. This is a really professional outfit that can bring you right to the westernmost point and edge of Europe and let you experience the isolation yet beauty of these places. If you love lighthouses, then you are in for a treat. Check out these not to be missed trips with Aquaterra Boat Tours.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I went on the boat ride and adventure on Skellig Michael with my son. We are from Connecticut, USA.
It was such an amazing trip! Our team was Brendan and Elizabeth. They were both so enjoyable and caring. Always asking if we were alright and please don’t hesitate if you were feeling “Ick”. So compassionate.
They explained all the safety rules so simply and enjoyably if that’s possible.
It truly was a lifetime experience and they made it even better.
Thank you so much for an amazing adventure!!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a great trip out to Skellig Michael with Brendan and Elizabeth! They were great guides, giving us lots of information about the islands and the surrounding areas, as well as some great local recommendations. We felt very safe and comfortable on their boat, despite the weather making it a bit bumpy. We were very grateful that their boat has a cover!

Firstly the boat is fabulous, clean with modern comfy seats and it’s fully closed in. The life jackets are slimline so easy to put on and take off. Brendan and Elizabeth are brilliant hosts and gave us a perfect day out. An easy 5/5. Will definitely be back. Thanks guys :-)
