Motor boats in Ireland
Motor boats in Ireland are the licence-free cruisers of the Shannon and the Erne, from Carrick-on-Shannon, Banagher, Portumna and Belleek: Lough Ree and Lough Derg, the river towns between them, and the Shannon-Erne waterway north into the Fermanagh lakes. The boats are steel and fibreglass cruisers for two to ten, the locks are worked by keepers, and the season is April to October. A week covers a lough and a stretch of river at cruising pace.
