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.

Wonderful Cruise!! - Outstanding cruise. Staff were knowledgeable of the history and great storytellers. Customer service is outstanding. My husband misplaced his wallet and it was found after we left the shop. Staff tracked us down and delivered the wallet to us in Dun Laoghaire! Highly recommend this cruise!!!

Dublin Bay Cruises - Did the boat trip from Howth to Dun Laoghaire and we loved it. The views of Howth, Dalkey, Dublin Bay and the surrounding areas were magnificent. The weather was good and it was quite busy. And the driver of the boat was making jokes which was funny.

Great Trip- Very Enjoyable - Very Enjoyable Trip- crossing was quite choppy, but in fairness to the crew they gave passengers very opportunity before departure to either take a refund or reschedule Scenery across Howth Head and crossing the bay is brilliant - brilliant to see Dublin from this perspective The crew are super friendly and helpful - Easter eggs for the kids was a lovely touch too Highly recommend this trip - we’d plan to do it again and hopefully enjoy calmer waters

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!
