Customer Reviews
GOOD Based on 61 reviews Posted on Sona HoustonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Surpassed expectations! We did the ‘catch your breakfast’ tour and had the best time. Experiencing the coastline from a different perspective while watching the sun come up was spectacular, and Richard is so knowledgeable about everything from the geology of the coastline, to the history as well as myths and legends….and of course fishing! Massive thank you as well to chef Lee for an incredible breakfast and for some of the best freshly baked scones I’ve every had. All round amazing experience!Posted on Erin WebbTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We were surprised and pleased to have our last minute booking request fulfilled for our party of 6. Adam captained the Causeway Lass with calm assurance and offered local insights and advice, helping us tick off our bucket list wish of ocean fishing off the Irish coast. Well done!Posted on Clifford SmylieTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Fantastic. Booked the “catch your breakfast” tour 11/10/25…..what an amazing time! We left the harbour 7am before sunrise and the sunrise was amazing, just as the skipper Richard said it would be! We had two of them ( if you book with him he’ll explain) his knowledge of the coast line is second to none and we were in awe of his knowledge, thank you. The fish too was amazing and the fun we had was in this day and age a breath of fresh air, amazing. We then took our catch to Kraken for breakfast were we met by Lee, we were treated like it was a tv programme first off fresh baked scones then our catch (Mackerel) with potato bread cut in the shape of the causeway stones (such a lovely touch) soda bread. Scallions and a beautiful poached egg. Honestly the whole experience was amazing, thank you Richard (skipper) and Lee (Chef) if you’re ever in Portrush looking to do something different give causeway boats a shout for a truly amazing experience!

We loved it..Posted on Lisa MasonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Absolutely fantastic rib trip as a family of 4. Kids had the best time fishing, swimming and sight seeing. Richard out captain/tour guide was extremely knowledgeable, fun and relaxed. The day was tailored to what we wanted out of the trip. Would definitely do again! Thanks for such a wonderful trip!Posted on Denise AdamsonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I can’t tell you how much we enjoyed our time with Causeway Boats. We booked a private hire with Richard and they took care of everything! He brought along Charlie who knows all about the coastline and the birds that call it home. Both men are fun and knowledgeable. We met them in Portrush and took a smaller boat with them to the Skerries, the coastline at Royal Portrush, Dunluce Castle, Smugglers Cove Giants Causeway Carrick-a-Rede and Ballintoy. We had a spectacular time and saw so much more than you’d see trying to visit all these areas on your own. It was just gorgeous and we couldn’t have been happier with the experience. These gentleman are a blast to be with and truly love the water and this area. Highly recommend! The photos just don’t do it justice!
