Far from the pressures of city life, Derryinver is a place to relax and enjoy the fresh sea air, the peace, the tranquillity. Derryinver can be found on the serene and tranquil Renvyle Peninsula , a hauntingly beautiful coastline etched out by the ebb and flow of countless tides. It contains an archaeological site of a Six Pillar Stone Alignment which would have been built to line up with the Winter Solstice. Amidst this place you will find Ballinakill Harbour one of the most beautiful, clean, natural and well-protected harbours in the world.
Ballinakill Harbour is home to a large variety of sea birds - wild duck, cormorants, herons, gulls, terns, oystercatchers, guillemots and Curlews and is also home to a small colony of grey seals. Porpoises and dolphins are also frequent visitors.
The region is also rich in marine history and folklore, with many swashbuckling, romantic tales to tell..

Our sea trips can be tailor made to suit any requirements. If you're a birdwatcher, sealwatcher, whalewatcher or dolphin watcher you should come with us. If you're a geologist, archeologist, ornithologist, photographer, oceanographer, you should come with us. If you're a tinker, a tailor, a soldier or a sailor you should come with us. But most of all if you just want to feel the salty wind in your face and the rising Atlantic swell making your heart beat faster as you turn your back to the land and you start to feel the freedom, you should come with us.
