Celtic Victor

The Celtic Victor is owned by Donal McCrohan, a second generation Skellig Boat Operator whose family’s association with the Skelligs goes back over 40 years. His introduction to the Skelligs began at an early age crewing on the family vessel operating trips to Skellig Michael during the summer months. Over the years he has skippered many vessels operating trips to Skellig Michael until 2005 when he purchased the Celtic Victor. We will be delighted to welcome you aboard where your safety and enjoyment of the uniqueness of the Skelligs are our main priorities and we hope to provide you with an unforgettable experience.

Celtic Victor

DEVA

The Deva is skippered by Jamie Duff. She’s an 11 metre vessel with sheltered seating for twelve passengers. On fine days, the transparent coverings can be zipped away, giving a totally outdoor seafaring experience as we keep watch for dolphins, whales and basking sharks or the many species of seabird that inhabit waters, cliffs and islands of the Skellig Coast. Your deckhand will have answers to your many questions on such topics. This may be Liam Ellis – who knows fresh water pursuits as well as salt, or Des Lavelle, author of Skellig – Experience the Extraordinary, commentator on Skellig topics for many seafaring years. The Deva’s on-board facilities include all the regulatory safety items, as well as a marine toilet for passengers use.

skellig walker

The purpose built Skellig Walker is a 38ft Cygnus Typhoon. The boat was built by Murphy Marine Services on Valentia Island and was designed and constructed with the comfort and safety of passengers as paramount. The boat is fitted with both internal and external seating to ensure those onboard will be transported in comfort. Skellig Walker is skippered by Kav who has almost forty years of experience skippering boats in the waters along the beautiful Skellig Coast. We have safely transported many happy adventurers down through the years and plan on doing so for many more. We look forward to welcoming you on board soon!

ursula mary

The Ursula Mary is operated by Pat O’Neill. Pat has been bringing people to Skellig Michael for over 30 years.
