The Experience
This isn’t your average boat rental. It’s your ticket to island hopping, fishing, wild camping, or just cruising with the tunes on and the cooler full. Whether you’re pulling up to the Boatyard Distillery for a G&T, grilling on White Island at sunset, or drifting by Crom Castle, this is how we’ve always done Lough Erne…and now it’s yours to enjoy.
Each trip comes with the essentials: a solid boat, life jackets, BBQ gear, a cooler box, and camp chairs. The rest is up to you. Go for a peaceful solo spin, plan a date weekend with a difference, or pack up a few mates and get out there. It’s simple: pick your time, grab your crew, and we’ll have everything ready.
The Local Lowdown
Here’s what we’d do if we were heading out for the weekend. These are the places we keep going back to, the stops that turn a good trip into a great one.
Pull up to the Boatyard Distillery
Arriving by boat makes this one special. Great spirits, lovely people, and one of the best views around.
Eat your way through Enniskillen
The Enniskillen Taste Experience is a proper food tour. All the best spots in town, with a side of local history.
Make a pit stop at Lusty Beg Island
A bar and restaurant on its own island. Classic Lough Erne stuff. Perfect for a pint, a bite, or both.
Camp out on your own island
Pick a quiet spot, fire up the BBQ, and sleep out under the stars. It’s a bit of wilderness with just enough comfort.
Pass by Devenish Island and Crom Castle
Two iconic sights from the water. Peaceful, grand, and full of stories.
Cast a line and see what bites
The fishing is as good as it gets. Whether you know what you're doing or just want to give it a go, it’s always worth a try.
We’ve done them all more times than we can count, and we’re still not tired of them. If you’re looking for a few hidden gems, we’re always happy to share our favourites.
We’re two lifelong friends who’ve been lucky enough to grow up on Lough Erne. Some of our best memories have been made out on the water. Fishing at sunrise, setting up camp on the islands, cruising to Lusty Beg or the Boatyard Distillery, and soaking up everything Fermanagh has to offer.
Even after all our travels, we both agree that nothing beats this place. Now we want to share it with you.
Clinker Craft is our way of helping you experience the lough like we have. We offer short-term boat rentals that give you the freedom to explore, unwind, and make the most of your time here. Whether that means tasting your way through Enniskillen, heading off for a weekend adventure, or finding a quiet spot to switch off.
We’ve pulled together all our favourite routes, hidden gems, and must-dos to help you get started. The boat is ready. The lough is waiting.
