Geraghty Charters, based in Blacksod on the Mullet Peninsula, Co. Mayo have been operational since 1993 and have a wealth of knowledge of the sea and the local area. Their skippers have a wealth of local knowledge, whether it is for finding good fishing grounds or giving insights into local history they provide an amazing passenger experience.
In the ‘People & Places of North Mayo’ series we meet the fabulous Josephine Geraghty of Geraghty Charters and Brú Chlann Lir B&B. She gives us a tour of the wonderful B&B and explains about the different services the boat runs throughout the week.
