Jessy of Adrigole
Our cruising yacht, Jessy of Adrigole, is a 37foot Jeanneau Sun Odyssey. She has 3 double cabins and a spacious main saloon. The heads have a hot shower and for those that like a swim in the clear waters of West Cork, you can rinse off with a hot shower on her stern. She is a passenger licensed vessel, which means she has a full range of safety equipment and is surveyed and serviced every winter. We pride ourselves in her being comfortable and clean. All meals provided are home prepared vegetarian or responsibly sourced local meats.

Important:
All our trips and sailing direction are weather dependent and under no circumstances will any crew member or the boat be put in an unsafe situation, so trip schedules may have to be altered to suit the conditions. Please remember that nature and wildlife is unpredictable and sometimes she gives us it all and sometimes she can be quite secretive – no 2 trips are ever the same but there is always a good experience had by all.
Guidelines:
- We request that crew keep alcohol consumption within safe levels for life at sea.
- The skipper has the right to refuse and crew / passenger.
