They will bring you on the short trip from Sligo harbour out to Rosses Point Pier. You can even take in a bit of fishing or sight seeing on the way. We can then meet you at the pier and help you with your bags across the road to the Rosses Point Guesthouse. If your lucky on the fishing trip, the Chef's in Austies can cook up your catch for your dinner that night! The return trip can be done on the Sea Star with Daryl from Sligo Boat Charters.
