All about Schull....
Schull Harbour
The safe and sheltered Schull Harbour is home to many waterborne
activities. Schull has a busy fishing fleet and a modern fish processing
plant. Ferry trips to Cape Clear and Sherkin leave the pier daily
throughout the summer. Boats can be hired from Schull Watersorts
Centre who also sport a well-stocked chandlery. There is a thriving
local diving club and visiting divers may join them for a dive. Contact
them through Schull Watersports Centre, who also help with bottle
filling, boat charter and general advice. Sea angling trips can be
arranged on the various private motorboats operating out of the
harbour. There is also canoeing, with tuition and rental of canoes
available throughout the summer. Rossbrin boatyard offers slipping
and launching facilities of up to 16 tons. Winter storage and moorings
are offered and all repairs and maintenance work can be carried out.
Round and about
Schull Harbour is the home of an active sailing club, which organizes weekend races for both cruisers and dinghies throughout the summer. Visiting yachtsmen are invited to take part in all events, including the Schull Harbour Regatta, which is now the high spot of a week of active racing in and beyond the harbour. This week of racing is known as Calves Week and has become a major event in the Irish racing calendar, attracting many boats and crews who participate in the week's racing. The Fastnet International School's Regatta, an annual event held in July for young sailors from all over Europe and the world has become a concrete addition to the excellent reputation Schull has achieved within the international sailing community.
