Edward and Derry of Charter boats NI were outstanding in ferrying my family of 4 to Isle of Islay. both were very professional and operating the vessel and making my family and myself comfortable on the two hour trip each way. I would certainly hire them for any future private charter services.

Highly recommend Charter Boats NI! It was smooth sailing; Edward and Derry took great care of us and were exceptionally friendly guides as they ferried us to Islay Island.

Brilliant experience. I bought this trip for my dad for Father’s Day, it made the perfect present. Captain Ed and tour guide Steve made us feel so welcome. It was a very comfortable boat ride in a warm and comfortable cabin. We saw so many brilliant sights and wildlife on our trip from Carrick to Muck island. I would highly recommend travelling with charter boats to anyone.

Had a great trip. The captain and the Tour guide were very helpful with lots of interesting information. The weather was really good and the sea was calm so was the perfect day for it.
