Day trip on a boat?

[Diabolical]

Hi there,

Sorry if I posted this in the wrong place, I wasn't too sure where to put it! Myself and some friends, max 10, would love to go on a boat trip for a day, maybe a day and night, on something like a barge that we would have to ourselves. I've looked around a good few sites but they don't specify a lot of things like price/max number of people etc. And I'm noticing that a lot of the boats are more for renting for a week or 2 which we wouldn't be able to afford. I was wondering if anyone did anything like this before or know of a good company who does this kind of thing? I'm in the Louth area so in and around Dublin would be the best location. Thanks for any information you can give me

p.s. we don't want to do the viking splash tour in dublin

The ferry linking Omeath and Warrenpoint has been run by the same family for three generations, and its current captain, Brendan O'Neill, uses the MV Seascapes to run boat trips on the Lough and the Newry Canal, too.

Details: Tel: 048 4175 3425; email castlecruises3@ yahoo.co.uk. €7/€4; cruises cost €12/€8.

Have search throught the Inland Waterways site http://www.iwai.ie/rentals/rentabarge.html
Various options.

I recently booked this boat for a day (mothers 80thbirthday) and it was very good.

They are very flexible as to what they can offer - No sleeping accom thought

We hire boats on Blessington Lake but they are lake boats so probably too small for your requirements.
