Where do you meet in Dalkey

We will meet you at the slipway in Bullock Harbour at the time stated on your booking receipt. Please note we may not be visible earlier than that as we may be taking a break between sessions or travelling from another session elsewhere. Getting there: By train from Dublin City Centre – take the southbound DART and get off at Dalkey. Follow signs from the train station to Bullock Harbour (10 mins walk) or ask anyone in picturesque Dalkey for directions. They’d be delighted to help you. By car: follow the coast road or the N11 to Bullock Harbour in Dalkey. There is free parking at the harbour. We encourage people to car pool or take the DART as we are an environmentally conscious business.
