about Carrickcraft
It was a most relaxing holiday-a little hidden paradise and only an hour’s drive from home! I could have stayed another week and am already looking forward to next year.
Deirdre Macklin
As our first time we would definitely sail again perhaps slightly bigger boat. Wonderful relaxing experience. Staff were very pleasant and helpful.
Richard McCaw
This was our first time on a boating holiday and we were apprehensive enough. From booking it with Wendy, through check in and check out with Padraig it was an unbelievable experience. Padraig calmed my nerves straight away and I have to admit it ended up being one of the best family holidays we have been on. We have already planned another one for later in the year.
