    Pretty sure you need a permit from the ESB to boat up there.

    It would have to be below 6hp for Blessington.

    Most of the boats are owned by members of the various clubs - and the warden is very vigilant :D

    I'm surprised they allow any fueled boats if it supplies Ballymore Eustace Water Works ?

    Fuel from outboards isn't the worst thing that goes into the water with all the farms around the lake. The filtration system must be very good :D

    €60 is very reasonable for 11 months of the year. Would you really only use it once ?

    Depending on the size of boat, 2.5 might be a bit small for the sea, or is it just the backup engine ?

    What type and size of boat is it, I don't think I'd be going to sea in anything with a 2.5 hp the tide and wind could be faster than you could push yourself along :eek:

    Just a back up or to get out on a lake will be getting a bigger one when summer comes for sea

    Have no idea the make of the boat but she's fibre glass roughly 15 ft long at the max with a small cab


    So the answer im getting is there is no day pass for bringing your own boat to blessington for the day
