ABOUT US
Dublin Bay Cruises offers a unique and family-friendly way to explore Dublin's stunning coastline. Operated by the Garrihy family since 2013, these cruises provide passengers with breathtaking views of landmarks such as Dalkey Island, Howth Cliffs, and the Poolbeg Lighthouse. Departing from Dún Laoghaire, Howth, and Dublin City Centre, our cruises range from 60 to 150 minutes, catering to various schedules and preferences.
OUR IMPACT
Dublin Bay Cruises has transitioned to Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO) fuel. This renewable diesel alternative is made from waste cooking oil and fats, and offers up to 90% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions compared to traditional marine diesel.
The switch reflects our commitment to reducing our environmental impact while still offering scenic, family-friendly cruises along Dublin’s iconic coastline. HVO burns cleaner, reducing not only CO₂ but also particulate matter and nitrogen oxides, improving both air quality and marine sustainability.
By adopting HVO, Dublin Bay Cruises joins a growing movement in the transport and tourism sectors to embrace greener alternatives and lead by example in combating climate change—without compromising the quality or comfort of the passenger experience.
