10/10 would book again - The view was absolutely stunning. Part of that was surely owed to the stunning weather, but I’m certain it would’ve been equally stunning in pouring rain (just a different appeal).
The sailing we had originally booked was sadly not available, but we were contacted with enough time to spare in order to switch our plans around. A big thanks to Olwyn here, who handled the whole exchange absolutely brilliantly. Staff on board were perfectly professional, though I did not interact with them much myself. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay on board.

Lovely way to spend a Sunday afternoon - Lovely relaxing way to see Dublin from another angle. Cruise was busy but there were plenty of seats inside and we were also able to go out on deck downstairs during the cruise. We were dropped off in the centre of Dun Laoghaire and were able to get a walk on the pier in and a Teddys ice cream before getting the Dart back to the city centre.

Great trip Howth to DL - I took a one-way trip from Howth to DL. Before boarding, people were advised that due to wind conditions, the water was choppy and potentially uncomfortable. Refunds were offered to people who wished to cancel their trip. I went anyway and the trip was brilliant even in less-than-optimal conditions. I stood out back holding the rails and it was an adventure!!! I would recommend DBC as a trip, even on a "bad" weather day.

Great experience - Have completed the trip both ways in the past few weeks. Super friendly staff, great booking system. A great way to see Dublin from a different angle and to see the islands and cliffs around Howth. Highly recommend.

Beautiful - The boat was great. The sights were fantastic, and the information shared was good. The only thing was that it was very busy, so it was hard to always be able to get a spot to look at the view outside since you very much needed to either be sitting or holding onto a railing in order to not fall over. Loved the trip, though!

Nice trip - A beautiful day in the bay. Saw harbour seals and porpoises. However, the only commentary was at Ireland's Eye and the Baily Lighthouse. As a Dubliner I didn't mind, but for visitors I'm sure it was disappointing. Nothing about Lambay, Poolbeg or Dun Laoghaire.
