The Carraig Aonair is out of the water and undergoing cleaning & maintenance before heading for the river Lee for the winter 🎺🎷🪊🎅🤶🎄

Did you know that Cork Harbour Cruises | Tour is a sister company to Cape Clear Ferries, run by locals steeped in maritime tradition and folklore. Set up as a new independent business in 2020 by Crosshaven locals Karen Cottrell of Cape Clear Ferries & Trish Harris along with owner of Cape Clear Ferries Brendan Cottrell.

Before helping to set up Cork Harbour Cruises, Trish worked in Cork Harbour for 11 years, in various capacities, learning about its every nook and cranny.

Karen also runs Cape Clear Ferries with her Master Mariner Spouse Brendan Cottrell with their fleet of distinctive Orange ferries ply between Schull, Baltimore, Cape Clear Island, and the famous Fastnet Rock Lighthouse.

Spearheaded by Trish Harris alongside her crew be sure and check out Cork Harbour Cruises | Tour for a trip down the Lee and around Cork Harbour you’ll never forget 🧡

All of this wouldn’t of course be possible without crew members Shane, Martin & all the gang at Oldcourt Boats making sure the Carraig Aonair is in tiptop shape before her return to the water 🌊
