About Galway Bay Boat Tours
Sightseeing tours, fishing and private hire mixed with history and tradition
Claddagh and the Galway Hooker. Take our Tour - Feel the Story
The Oliver family are from generations of fishermen, from a time when they sailed Galway Hookers around Galway Bay to fish for a living.
Our family home is in Claddagh, on the water’s edge. We still tie up our boats at the same quay as our grandfathers and their fathers before them.
Galway Bay Boat Tours is unique – we offer a personal connection to Galway Bay, the history behind Claddagh and the Galway Hooker.
This makes your tour an unforgettable experience.
Join us as we tour Galway Bay, by boat or on a walk, and relive the story of how our ancestors sailed Galway Hookers from Claddagh to Connemara, to earn a living from fishing.
