What you'll see and do

  1. The guided deep sea angling trip starts in Cleggan (transportation to Cleggan is not included in package). Depending on the tide, you will meet your skipper at 10.30am either at the pier or at the boat club. The skipper will go through the itinerary for the day and you will get the gear and equipment to have a fantastic fishing day. Then you will depart for a full-day deep sea angling and you will spend the day on the boat in the Atlantic Ocean. You might see basking sharks, common and bottle-nose dolphins, grey seals, orca whales, great skua, puffins, gullemots and razor bills. Some of the islands have ruins on them and witness stunning island cliffs and scenery. The two main fishing techniques are drifting and anchoring. Drifting over reefs in 15-100 meters of water will yield Ling, Cod, Coalfish, Wrasse and Mackerel, to name but a few. Using Red Gill’s and lead heads for Pollack is a specialty and provides excellent sport with fish averaging 2.5 kg (5lbs+) and frequently edge over 5.5 kg (10lbs+). Summer cod are plentiful and fish in the 10 to 15 lbs range are common. Shoals of Coalfish vary in size from clouds of 1 lb fish to big adults over 10 lbs. A day’s drifting over reefs should yield 10 to 15 species and some additional bait could well increase this up to 15 or 20 species. After an exciting seafaring day you will arrive back in Cleggan at approximately 6pm.

Private Trip: Connemara Deep Sea Angling Day Trip from Cleggan: questions travelers ask

Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Galway.

How much does Private Trip: Connemara Deep Sea Angling Day Trip from Cleggan cost?

+

Prices start at $817 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Galway usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

How long does Private Trip: Connemara Deep Sea Angling Day Trip from Cleggan take?

+

Plan for about 8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Galway is not rushed.

Is Private Trip: Connemara Deep Sea Angling Day Trip from Cleggan worth it?

+

It holds an Outty Ranking of 52 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (0/5 across 0 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Galway, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

Can I cancel or reschedule Private Trip: Connemara Deep Sea Angling Day Trip from Cleggan?

+

Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

Is Private Trip: Connemara Deep Sea Angling Day Trip from Cleggan suitable for kids and families?

+

Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

How far in advance should I book Private Trip: Connemara Deep Sea Angling Day Trip from Cleggan?

+

Around 0 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Galway can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

What should I bring or wear?

+

Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Galway and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

Where does Private Trip: Connemara Deep Sea Angling Day Trip from Cleggan start and how do I get there?

+

The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Galway within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

What are the best things to do in Galway?

+

On Outty we rank every Galway experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Cliffs of Moher & the Burren Tour from Galway, Galway to Aran Islands Inisheer, Doolin, Cliffs of Moher Day Tour, Galway to Cliffs of Moher, Aillwee Cave & Dunguaire Castle Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

When is the best time to visit Galway?

+

Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

How many days do you need in Galway?

+

Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

+

Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
