Unforgettable Day on the Water with Brian and Alfie

crkink, Oct 2025

What a fantastic experience from start to finish! Brian and Alfie gave us an unforgettable day exploring the beautiful waters around Kinsale. From checking the lobster pots to trying our hand at fishing, every moment was hands-on, fun, and informative. The scenery was absolutely stunning, and Brian’s local stories brought the landscape to life in such a personal and authentic way. You can tell Brian genuinely loves what he does and takes pride in sharing it with others. Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Kinsale – it was truly a highlight of our trip!

Great Experience!

CMackey1, Sept 2025

Brian and his sidekick Alfie took us on a great tour of the Kinsale Harbor and Bandon River. There were ten of us and Brian took great care of us. This was an outstanding way to learn about the beautiful Kinsale area, and if I did this again, I would definitely go fishing with Brian. He kept us entertained throughout the tour with his humor and great storytelling. I highly recommend his boat tours. Thanks again, Brian, for a great day at Kinsale!

Relaxing, Exciting & Unforgettable!!

Looking for a memorable outing? ‘Wellness on Water’ is a MUST! Our Kinsale boat ride was absolutely amazing! From the moment we stepped on board, everything was smooth, safe and welcoming. Captain Brian and First Mate Alfie were the best hosts. Brian went above and beyond to make our trip to Ireland unforgettable! He communicated thru WhatsAp and actually addressed our whole grof 12 ladies to answer all our questions and work the best time between golf for our afternoon adventure! Brian is so charismatic and funny. His Irish stories, local Kinsale knowledge and nautical skills was one of my best memories of Ireland. Earlier that day we toured Fort Charles by land. That afternoon we saw it with Brian and Alfie from the water. We also saw the point where we had played golf at Old Head. (Thanks Brian) I haven’t laughed so hard in a long time! Your music and meade were the best!! Don’t pass up the opportunity to sail with Wellness on Water - and Captain Brian!
