Description:

​Visiting County Sligo and want to experience the coastline from the water? Wild West Sailing gives visitors the perfect opportunity to do just that. The business has two exciting sides:

1. Adventure Sailing and Power Boating Experiences – ideal for anyone who wants to get out on the Atlantic or Lough Gill and feel the thrill of the open water.
2. Sailing Training & Courses – for those who want to learn new skills or build confidence on the sea.

One of the best ways to discover County Sligo during your stay is by joining a Wild West Sailing day trip. Choose from a thrilling three‑hour adventure with panoramic views of the Ox Mountains, Benbulben and Queen Maeve’s Cairn, or enjoy a relaxed family sailing trip along Sligo’s stunning coastline.

And the best part? No sailing experience is needed. Wild West Sailing’s coaches and instructors are friendly, patient and genuinely passionate about helping people build confidence on the water. And during every sailing trip, your skipper doubles as a tour guide — adding local stories, hidden gems and plenty of craic to the journey.

Whether you’re a seasoned sailor or a complete novice, this experience delivers a fun, relaxed and totally Instagrammable way to explore Sligo’s maritime beauty.

If you feel the thrill of speed, Wild West Sailing also offers an unforgettable powerboating adventure. Imagine yourself at the helm of a RIB, skimming across the water with the dramatic backdrop of Benbulben rising behind you. With a skilled instructor guiding you every step of the way, you’ll pick up the essentials quickly and confidently.   It’s the perfect introduction to earning your Powerboating Level 1 Certificate.
