Cruise
Cobh cruise port transfers
Collection on the quay at Cobh, timed to the sailing rather than to a coach schedule. Cork Airport is thirty five minutes away.
The service
Shore days and quayside transfers at Cobh
Cobh is the deep water quay for Cork and one of the busiest cruise calls in Ireland. Ships tie up a few steps from the town itself, and the rest of the county, Cork city, Kinsale, Blarney and Midleton, sits a short drive inland. That drive is what people call us for.
A quayside transfer is one vehicle for your party, waiting where the gangway comes down. No queue for a coach, no waiting for forty other passengers, and no shore excursion timetable deciding how long you stand at the Rock of Cashel.
The whole day is built backwards from all aboard. We hold that time as the hard edge, keep a margin for the road, and the chauffeur stays with the party from the quay until you are back on the ship.
Timed to all aboard
The sailing time is the fixed point, everything else moves around it.
Met at the gangway
Not at a coach park across the town.

What a shore day reaches
Blarney and Kinsale
The classic half day, castle and harbour town, back with time to spare.
Cork city and Midleton
City centre, the English Market and the distillery, all close to the quay.
Killarney
A long day. We will say plainly whether the sailing time allows it.
The Ring of Kerry
Only on a long call, and only if the ship is alongside all day.

Where exactly do you meet the ship?
At the quayside, where the gangway comes down. The chauffeur has your name on a sign and the vehicle is parked within sight of the ship.
What if the ship docks late?
We track the arrival and move with it. A late berthing shortens the day rather than costing you the booking.
Can we reach Killarney and be back in time?
On a long call, yes. On a short one we will say so and suggest Kinsale or Cork city instead rather than run you back to the gangway at a sprint.
How many can travel together?
Up to eight in an Executive MPV, sixteen in a Minibus, and larger groups on a Minicoach or Coach coordinated as one job.
Do you also serve Dún Laoghaire?
Yes, the same way: met at the quay, timed to the sailing, with one vehicle held for your party for the day.

Give us the ship and the sailing time. The day is built backwards from it.
