    Ballyvaughan Bay Hop - Fast ferry to Galway
    Just cut and pasted the info from their site, but feel its a great idea.... any thoughts?


    Ballyvaughan Bay Hop will run a fast ferry service between Ballyvaughan, Co. Clare and Galway City during the week of the 25th June, culminating with a service to coincide with the opening ceremony of the Volvo Ocean Race on Saturday 30th June.

    Departing from the New Pier, Ballyvaughan, the service will run 3 times daily and will facilitate commuters from the North Clare area needing to travel to Galway. With ample parking available at the pier, commuters can park and ride across the bay directly into the heart of Galway city, leaving the stress of traffic jams and parking behind them. A 10-journey commuter ticket is cheaper than a tank of petrol, making the ferry a more cost-effective eco-friendly commuting option.

    This service will also provide travellers from Galway with a novel way to visit and explore the Burren, with accommodation and meal value packages with Ballyvaughan eateries and guesthouses available to enhance their trip.

    The service will be operated by Rib West on behalf of Ballyvaughan Bay Hop in a fully licenced enclosed passenger rib as part of a pilot project to establish a community fast passenger service serving the North Clare region.
