Come visit us on Cape Clear Island, learn a Cúpla focal, on a historic Irish-speaking island is just 12 kilometres off Ireland’s beautiful West Cork coast.
With a population of 120 people, the island’s rich history is visible across a lush green landscape pockmarked with megalithic standing stones, a 5,000-year-old passage grave, and the ruins of castles and churches dating back to the days of Ireland’s earliest Christian saints.
Cape Clear’s southerly location, warm climate and unique natural features make it something of a hotspot for marine life, with passengers on our famous boat tours often treated to sightings of whales, dolphins, basking sharks, leatherback turtles and sunfish, all of which make regular appearances in our waters.
Cape Clear Ferries is dedicated to ensuring the survival of this unique island, its community, language and guaranteeing its sustainability for future generations.
Cape Clear Ferries runs services to the island all-year round from Baltimore with extra services from Baltimore and Schull, both on the mainland in West Cork, during summer months.
As well as daily services to Cape Clear Island, we offer twilight cruises and tours around the iconic Fastnet Rock Lighthouse, the tallest and widest rock lighthouse ever constructed in Ireland and the UK.
We look forward to welcoming you on board.
