We offer a range of cruises, mostly from our base in Conwy, North Wales. From this readily accessible location we offer a varied menu from ‘Mini Cruises’, over 2 or 3 days. Local passages allow us to explore the exquisite nearby coastlines: seal- and occasionally dolphin spotting around Puffin Island, Beaumaris, the stunning Menai Strait, a trip around Anglesey, and down to the Llyn Peninsula.
If the wind and weather are in our favour, we might take a quick dash halfway across the Irish Sea to the Isle of Man. Of course, the conditions always play a part when we are out on the sea, and the itinerary will be tailored to suit those on board and the conditions we’re facing.
More extended passages include a trip across the Irish Sea to the Republic of Ireland, or to Northern Ireland, or to Scotland, or even all three! The Irish Sea is an exposed seaway. It can be a challenging piece of water to make passage through, but BOOM Sailing will ensure that the crew and passengers are matched to the conditions.

Catching sight of sea life is always a bonus. Minke Whales, Killer Whales and Dolphins have been regularly spotted in the Irish Sea. If we’re lucky then you might spot this on your passage:
