  • Fishing Trips - Carlingford Lough

    Fishing Trips

    Whether you're a seasoned angler or a total beginner, Cunningham Charters' Fishing Trips offer the perfect day out on the water. Departing from Greencastle, Co. Down or Warrenpoint, we’ll take you to some of the best fishing grounds in Carlingford Lough - known for its mackerel, pollock, wrasse, and even the odd cod or conger eel.

    This is a brilliant way to spend a few hours at sea and soak up the Mourne coastline.

  • Sightseeing Trips - Carlingford Lough

    Sightseeing Trips

    Take in the beauty of Carlingford Lough from the best seat in the house. This guided boat trip takes you up close to some of the area’s most iconic landmarks — from the Haulbowline Lighthouse, standing proud at the mouth of the lough, to the historic Greencastle Royal Castle, a 13th-century ruin with stories to tell.

    Cruise past Narrow Water Keep, soak up views of the majestic Mourne Mountains, and keep your eyes peeled for seals, seabirds, and even dolphins if you're lucky.

    Ideal for visitors, families, and those wanting to see a different side of the Mournes — this is coastal sightseeing, done right.

  • Sunrise / Sunset Trips - Carlingford Lough

    Sunrise / Sunset Trips

    There’s nothing quite like watching the sun rise or set over the Mourne Mountains and Carlingford Lough — and there’s no better way to experience it than from the water. Our Sunset and Sunrise Tours offer a peaceful, unforgettable journey along the coastline, where golden skies, calm seas, and panoramic views take centre stage.

    Whether you're a photographer chasing perfect light, a couple after a unique experience, or simply someone who loves the quiet magic of dawn or dusk, this is one for the memory bank. Hot drinks on board, blankets if needed, and plenty of time to soak it all in.
