Prepare for a warm Irish welcome as you board the luxury Aran Island Ferries boat (including a full bar and refreshment service) from the sheltered fishing harbour of Rossaveel (Ros a’ Mhíl) in Connemara and Galway city this summer. Owned by the O’Briens, this family has an enduring relationship with the Aran Islands since they began to trade turf there in the 1900s. Along the way, feel the clean air against your face while admiring Galway Bay views. Once on the islands, enjoy a way of life including culture, heritage and language that is unlike anywhere in the world. Ireland’s largest domestic ferry company offers year-round sailings to all islands via five state-of-the-art vessels with a capacity of up to 394 passengers. Enjoy the convenience of departing straight from Galway city or take our daily shuttle bus service to Rossaveel from the city.
