Property information

Mike and Judy have owned The Ferry Boat since 2001 in the heart of Portmagee, if you are planning a trip to the Skelligs you cannot get much closer to the Harbour where the boats depart from, Portmagee is also a great place to stay for a few days whilst you explore Valentia & the Skellig Ring or try wind surfing & sea angling plus good walks & mountain views. The prices are Room Only and exclude Breakfast which is available in nearby Restaurants & cafes
