Z13: Sailing holiday Ireland

From Belfast we sail up to the Irish Sea and head to the beautiful and large marina of Bangor. The next day we will sail, when wind and tide allows, to Strangford Lough. Here is a very strong current so the conditions should cooperate. The next day there will be the opportunity to go to the “Mount Stewart garden”, this botanical garden is in the top five of the world and is definitely recommended. At the end of the day we go to the other side of the entrance, one mile away to the pretty village of Portaferry where you can make a nice walk in the evening.

Most probably, we will sail the next day to Carlingford lough, an impressive fjord with strong currents and wonderful views on the Mourne mountains and with a nice authentic village. The Irish are the most friendly and hospitable people of Europe and the pubs are a nice closure at the end of the day. We sail further on to Malahide, a longer day of sailing with 35 miles, where we have to go through a shallow river entrance with the right tide. A beautiful place and a little seaside resort of Dublin. We end this sailing holiday in the vibrant and charming Dublin, where we, obviously, walk into the old town to eat at a pub and listen to traditional Irish music. The day distances these sailing holiday are between 11 and 35 miles.
