Storing Boat in Dublin

    Hello,
    I would like to eventually purchase a boat (sports fisher type) in Dublin. There seems to be ample facilities if your willing to pay crazy marina fees to have your boat moored there. Again fine if you've got a really big cruiser or sailing boat..
    but what just joe average do ?? What options....??

    I mean I grew up on valentia island where you simply pull the boat up on a slip and leave it there... obviously its not the same here ... but I dont know Dublin that well in terms of public slip access / boat storage...

    Surely the County Council have to provide SOME place for the normal punter...

    Anyone with any info would be greatly appreciated....

    There are public slipway all over dublin that you can use. But in terms of keeping a boat safe would be good to join a sailing club maybe. Some of the smaller ones aren't too expensive at all. what part of dublin are you in?

    I am in Sutton, so howth/malahide areas are fine for me... Just moved there recently... would like to have something organised for the summer... if not then maybe just to get something organised for next year...

    Yeah storage is the problem for me... don't really have a garage/parkway at the house..

    What boat is it? Clontarf can be a hassle because it's tidal. It's a bit further from you but if Clontarf isn't suitable, I'd reccomend Poolbeg YC. There are both swinging moorings and marina berths availible. PM me if you want any more info etc.

    Oh yea forgotten about Poolbeg. The Marina is a new addition. Worth a look as well.

    This would be a small sports fishing boat.. nothing big/flashy
