“Did you know that Galway is home to the longest inland water sailing race in Europe?”

⛵ The Cong–Galway Sailing Race Returns! ⛵

One of Ireland’s most historic sailing events is set to take place once again as sailors make the journey from Cong to Galway City in the annual Cong–Galway Sailing Race.

First sailed in 1882, the race is recognised as the longest inland water sailing race in Europe, covering the full length of beautiful Lough Corrib before finishing on the River Corrib in the heart of Galway.

This unique event brings together an incredible mix of boats, from racing dinghies and keelboats to traditional Galway Ho**ers, all sharing the same waters and celebrating our rich maritime heritage.

The race is proudly hosted by Galway Bay Sailing Club, Galway City Sailing Club, Galway Ho**er Sailing Club, Corrib Rowing & Yachting Club, and Spiddal Sailing Club, showcasing the strong spirit of cooperation that exists across Galway’s sailing community.

Whether you’re a sailor, a supporter, or simply someone who enjoys seeing boats under sail, keep an eye on the River Corrib as the fleet makes its way towards Galway City. The sight of traditional Ho**ers sailing alongside modern racing boats is something special.

📅 Saturday, 27 June
📍 Cong to Galway City via Lough Corrib and the River Corrib
⛵ A fleet of up to 40 boats
🌊 Celebrating over 140 years of sailing history

Best of luck to all competitors, and fair winds to the fleet!

We’re delighted to add another boat to the Corrib Safari team!

This is the latest addition to the fleet of licenced passenger boats on Lough Corrib that work together to bring small and large groups out for tours, excursions and unforgettable experiences on the lake.

We partner up with a number of operators with open ribs, cabin ribs and a luxury motor yacht to cater for groups of a range of sizes and budgets.

If you’d like to find out more or discuss how we can design a day out for you, please get in touch!

The 800-year-old Ashford Castle.

The grounds have some great walking routes, including three connected ones you can take when you cross the bridge at Cong Abbey. There are information stands and signs there to guide you on your way.
