What to expect

Shannon boat hire is located directly on Lough Derg, providing boats that are user-friendly and ideal for fishing activities or some family fun.

They offer a range of boats for hire, from 19ft lake boats with outboard motors and fish-finders for the angling enthusiast to two-berth mini-cruisers perfect for sampling the hospitality of the pubs and restaurants in the lakeside villages around Lough Derg.

Lake boats can be hired on an hourly or daily basis, while mini-cruisers (which sleep two) can be hired daily or weekly.
