An unparalleled seaside view
Discover Galway’s Maritime Past
Situated in the heart of Galway, our boats are moored within the historic “Old Mud Dock”, ideally located at the end of the world-famous Long Walk. The harbour boasts an expansive maritime history stretching back to the 18th century, when ocean trade and fishing dominated daily life.

The Polaris Popcorn
Quirky, fun and stylish- a far cry from her old days as a work boat on the unforgiving Irish west coast. With an expansive covered sun deck and trendy and functional interior she makes the perfect hideaway for couples looking to spend a bit more time afloat.

The Lovely Laura Lucy
Smart, modern and expansive, the Laura Lucy includes a stunningly decorated wheelhouse bar, massive bed (bigger than king size!), and a luxurious aft snug for hiding away in during the evening. She has a fascinating past, and isn’t afraid to show it, sporting artwork and mementos from her former days.

The Regal Lady Norrie K
Classic yet timeless, luxurious and delightfully excessive, the Regal Norrie K is proud of her heritage as a 1929 classic dutch barge. With classic styling all round, including painstakingly varnished mahogany floors, walls and trim, she oozes opulence all around. Don’t let her industrious exterior fool you!

Don’t take our word for it, here’s what our past guests have been saying!
My wife and I had a fantastic stay aboard the Laura Lucy. The stateroom was quite well appointed and it was such a unique experience to make our Galway leg of the trip that much more memorable. We enjoyed hanging out in nearby Latin Quarter, grabbing late night take out and eating in the boat’s galley (which has some really cool lights at night!)

Staying on this boat was one of the coolest AirBnb experiences we have had! Every inch of the place was charming. The bed and couch were comfortable, the bathroom and shower (so generous a shower for this space!) were spotless, and the kitchen was well-equipped. We had such fun being on the boat! Having coffee on the deck in the morning was a true pleasure, and we would have happily stayed more days had we more time in Galway. Could not recommend more highly!

We had an amazing stay in Galway in this one-of-a-kind boat! Easily one of the highlights of our trip and would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a fun, unique experience. Quite comfortable and in a perfect location in the heart of Galway, and Carolina was very helpful and responsive.

The Laura Lucy exceeded our expectations! We had an absolutely amazing stay. We only spent one night in Galway, but I wish we’d stayed longer.
Carolina was a great host – responsive, helpful, friendly. We’d never been on a boat before, so her walkthrough was much appreciated.
If you get the chance, I’d 100% recommend staying on the Laura Lucy! Bonus if you get up early and watch the sunrise. You won’t regret it.

Such a unique experience, this is something my wife and I will never forget! Not only do you get to stay in a boat, but it is in one of the most scenic and historical parts of the city! Would definitely be a place to stay at over and over!

This stay was one of the nicest experiences we have ever had. The story around the boat, the decor, all the antiques and specially the location, are exceptional. Besides all that, Carolina was incredible, super helpful and a sweetheart. We loved staying over, it was a special experience to remember for a lifetime.
