Luxury PRIVATE CHARTERS

KERRY'S MOST EXCLUSIVE VOYAGES

Wave Heading Separator

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.

Bucket list item checked! Highly recommend AquaTerra Boat Tours. The boat was sparkling clean, the crew were very friendly and informative, and the trip was incredible. I'd give them 10 stars if I could!

This has to be the best way to visit Skellig Michael. Elizabeth and Brendan are a great team and attentive in every way to their passengers' safety and comfort as well as able to share some craic appropriately. And their boat is a dream!

The Skellig landing tour was the absolute highlight of our trip to Kerry this summer. A long awaited bucket list wish, it didnt disappoint. The boat was a 10/10 experience between comfort, local knowledge and general hospitality from the team. We were extremely fortunate to have great weather conditions, but the overhead cover still made such a difference. We were so glad to have chosen AquaTerra. Would highly recommend to anyone thinking of booking. You won't regret it.

Seeing the Skelligs firsthand and landing on Skellig Michael are must do for anyone in the area and interested in history, sea birds, and or Star Wars but how you get there makes all the difference. There are a number of companies offering similar packages, but Elizabeth and Brendan were fantastic and most of all the boat! The boat was comfortable, fast, and managed the rough seas with an ease that seemed to slow down the other boats, plus you'll stay dry from all of the sea spray but won't miss any of the sites

We had the incredible fortune to land on Skellig Michael Island with AquaTerra last month & it was most definitely the highlight of our time in Ireland. The crew was fantastic, the weather was perfect, & the island was breathtaking. Thank you for an unforgettable experience!!! Janine & Don

I highly recommend going to Skellig Michael with AquaTerra!! Both the guide and the skeeper were very nice, but the main reason I recommend doing the excursion with them (with respect to other solutions) is their boat. It seemed to me more (or much more) confortable than other boats I saw doing the excursion from Portmagee, and when you are out in the ocean you thank god of being in a confortable and sheltered seat! Their boat is also not noisy, considering its powerful motors. Leaving from Knigthstown (on Valentia Island) instead of Portmagee is not a problem; in fact I found it more nice to have a first (and last) relaxing part in the boat trip, before going out in the ocean.
