Step back 1,200 years and join the Vikings on a replica Viking Ship. Cruise up the River Shannon to Lough Ree or down river to the monastic settlement and round towers of Clonmacnoise whilst hearing live commentary on Viking hoards, the beauty of the river, its flora, fauna, bird and fish life.

Sit back and enjoy a 2 hour cruise on Lough Reed while enjoying a glass of wine or strawberries and cream as the beautiful scenery drifts by on our classic wooden motor yacht "Romaris" From Athlone we cruise up the river and on to the lake where we stop at Hodson Bay before crossing the lake to Hare Island and Cusson Point before we gently cruise back down to Athlone. As always a pot of fresh tea or coffee is complimentary.
3. A.M. Pike Guiding
(The Guide!)Aaron’s preferred choice is to use his Alumacraft Boat where not only is your comfort guaranteed but it gives him the ability to bring you to those truly secret spots others simply can’t reach. Along with his fine boat, Aaron also boasts some of the finest fishing equipment on the market and the beauty of his service is all of his gear is available to YOU to use. All you need is warm clothes (weather suitable), some snacks to keep you going, and a positive outlook and your ready!
