The highlight of our trip to Cork! - We had such a fantastic day out on the boat with Brian and Alfie! 🛥️🐶 Prepare to be delighted and entertained by Captain Brian as he shares all of his stories about Kinsale! You may even get some time behind the wheel! I highly recommend Kinsale Wellness on Water if you're looking for a fun and unique experience out on the water ❤️ We caught Mackerel and got to haul in the lobster traps! We were lucky enough to be able to take a lobster home for dinner. 🦞 Thank you Brian, Sandy & Alfie!! ❤️❤️

Kinsale wellness on water - We loved the trip from start to finish. My son and his friend caught some mackerel. There was fierce level of competition as to who could catch the most. The skipper Brian was cool as a cucucumber and had a great way with adults and children alike. The first mate Alfie was a big hit. Every boat tour should have a canine first mate.Alfie is a great addition.He knows if there is anything on the fishing line before anybody. We were blessed and even saw some seals while on our tour.

Wellness on Water - Brian and Alfie's boat tour was fantastic! Brian is not only funny but also extremely knowledgeable about Kinsale and its treasures. My family and I had a wonderful day out and even got to catch mackerel ourselves which we were able to enjoy for dinner. We would highly recommend it to everyone! Thank you Brian and Alfie!

Kinsale Wellness on Water......Wow - The tour was fabulous from start to finish.The skipper Brian was very knowledgeable about Kinsale and the Bandon river.He was fun and light hearted, a real tonic.His canine first mate Alfie could sell ice to the Eskimos. The weather was amazing and the fish were biting, what more could you ask for. We even saw some seals on the day. I would highly recommend this trip to everybody. Top class trip.

Amazing boat trip with Brian and Alfie - We had a great afternoon trip with Brian and Alfie, one of the cutest dogs ever. We saw a lot in the bay and Brian was a very pleasant guide who mixed all his stories with humor and a great knowledge which made the trip funny as well as informative. Looking forward to further boat rides with the two! We can highly recommend this tour!

Amazing Views of Kinsale and Surrounding Area by Water - This custom tour with Brian and Alfie was pure perfection! Brian communicated well - and offered for us to bring our own picnic on board for the tour. We were in a bit of a pinch because of other tours we already had scheduled, but Brian asked what we most wanted to see (Old Head Lighthouse) and did his best to allow us to see it. He gave us great insight and stories about the river and the area where we toured. The views of Kinsale, Charles Fort, and other areas on shore were incredible. The Irish have colorful language, and Brian is no exception- that said, he was a delight and we enjoyed having “first mate” Alfie along for the ride, as well. Brian even dropped us off closer to our next stop - with a unique walk past The Bullman pub and along the “low road” to Charles Fort. It was a perfect afternoon and one of the highlights of our trip. If you want a unique experience, one like no other in Kinsale, Brian and Alfie are the hosts for you!
