⚓ Join Us for an Exciting Trip to Peel Marina! ⚓

Our Cruising Group invite captains expression of interest in a two night visit to Peel, Isle of Man.

Looking for an unforgettable boating adventure? Come along for a two-night visit to Peel Marina, Isle of Man, filled with stunning coastal views, great company, and a relaxing atmosphere!

We plan to muster outside the lock gates at 12 noon on Saturday the 24th of May.

We will then stay two nights and leave on Monday morning the 26th of May, as soon as the lock gates open, which will be around 12 midday. 

It is the responsibility of every skipper to decide what time they should leave Dun Laoghaire and the specific route that they will take.

However, as a number of categories of boats are similar, many may wish to sail in lose company.

At this time, we are only looking for an expression of interest from captains/boat owners, so we can start the initial planning.  

It is proposed to have a meeting of those considering or intending to take part, well before the trip to discuss options.

🗓 Dates:

  • Muster: Saturday, 24th May at 12 noon (outside Peel lock gates)
  • Stay: Two nights in Peel Marina
  • Departure: Monday, 26th May at 12 midday (when lock gates open)

 

Please register your interest HERE
