Fishing Expeditions

Come aboard the White Water II for the ultimate fishing experience. Enjoy a hot cup of tea or coffee as you wait for that first strike at the line. All rods and tackle are provided for your convenience. With a heated cabin and onboard toilet facilities, you can enjoy all the comforts while reeling in the finest catch. What can you catch? How about ballan wrasse, cod, pollack, dogfish, ray, conger, skate and sea bass, just to name a few! But if you're after something a bit more challenging, try:

Shark Fishing

Want to catch the ultimate sea predator? The crew of the White Water II specialize in finding and landing Blue shark and Tope shark in the waters of Galway Bay. Tope can reach total lengths of 195 cm (6.4 feet) and weigh up to 44.7 kg (98.5 pounds). Tope put up a good fight, making it worth the while when you finally land one! Also lurking beneath the waves is the Blue shark. The largest caught and measured blue shark was 13 feet long and nearly 600 pounds, though there are reports of blues over 15 feet in length! You could get lucky and find yourself with a Porbeagle shark on the line. The "Porgie", as it is affectionately known, is this area's biggest game fish. It is thought to grow to about a thousand pounds and is endemic to the cool waters of the North Atlantic.

Other Trips

Would you rather get in some sightseeing as well as fishing and make a day of it? The White Water II offers excursions to the Aran Islands and the Cliffs of Moher, two of the most popular destinations on the west coast of Ireland.
