Irish Sea Charter?

[Wandering Star]

i thought i might charter a sailing boat and float over to the IOM this year (subject to COVID rules). For many years I used to sail from the Dee and then the Menai Straits to the IOM and visit family over there but I’m currently boatless so was hoping to charter a small boat 32 -37 feet would be ideal. However I can’t find anyone operating a bareboat charter operation in the area - does anyone know of one?

Cris Miles has a something 37 at Boom Sailing in Conwy. He would be my first port of call in that area and would know of any others.

Sadly there might be a reason for that. The weather!

Try Rainbow in Milford and make an outing of

Isle of Man is a fairly short hop from the Clyde (if you time the tides right) and plenty of charter companies in the Clyde

It’s probably work a quick look at the two Conwy marina websites to see if there are any links to charter boats. Otherwise, I agree with Dunedin, there are good options in The Clyde.

Regarding Clyde Charters, at least one major charter company has a line from Campbeltown to Irvin that charterers are prohibited from sailing beyond, hence that would need to be checked.
