Fishing Trips
Fishing Trips, Boat Hire & Private Tours
Whether you are an experienced angler looking for a serious challenge or a first time enthusiast looking for a great day out a fishing trip with Galway Bay Fishing is the solution.
We cater to the requests and experience level of our customers. No two fishing trips are the same. Normally, we sail out to the Aran Islands, fishing all the way, and take the time to explore this beautiful part of Ireland. We can even take a break on the Islands for a slap up lunch and a pint before returning to the open seas. Or if you wish, we can sail down by the Cliffs of Moher where stunning views await you. Whatever you want to do, Galway Bay Fishing has you covered.
Once we arrive back at the harbour, you will be invited to a local restaurant, where one of the highly skilled and experienced chefs will cook your catch for you just the way you like it.
At Galway Bay Fishing, we are very passionate about our conservation practices. Any fish that we do not plan on eaiting is returned to the ocean, once we've taken a few photos with it of course.
