Charter boat angling is readily available and well organized in the Eastern Region and offers an exciting day out for all ages. Boat prices vary from €300 to €500 plus per day or from about €50 per person per day.
All skippers are very knowledgeable and usually have the latest fish finding technology on board. Traveling to the fishing marks can also be rewarding as you can often see some of the many ancient settlements scattered around our coast and islands and of course different species of sea bird.
