Travel Times:

We are located in the picturesque seaside village of Rosses Point in the North West of Ireland (Just two and a half hours from Dublin city). The village marks the entrance to Sligo Harbour, hosts the famous West of Ireland Golf Championship and Sligo Yacht Club’s most ancient Irish sailing trophy, the “Ladies Cup”.

It also hosts other great activities like sea angling (Sligo Boat Charters) kiteboarding (LSD kiteboarding) and a range of other (not all water-based) challenges.

Rosses Point is often referenced by the poet W.B. Yeats for its beautiful scenery.

There is also a shop, restaurants, pubs, B&Bs, guesthouses and a hotel in Rosses Point for those early pre-voyage breakfasts and late nights!!
