Know more about our Public Guided Tour
The Lagan Boat Company have operated for 21 years on the River Lagan and Belfast Harbour, specializing during the summer in public daily Titanic Harbour Boat Tours at 12.30, 2.00 and 3.30pm. We also cater for guided Private Tours for Groups and a variety of Parties.
Leaving from Donegall Quay, close by to the Big Fish Sculpture the tour will pass by the Titanic Quarter. It is here, the former Harland & Wolff Works were once located. The tour continues round into the Musgrave Channel to see Belfast’s breeding seal colony. This illustrates the changes with the Harbour from it’s industrial heritage to a vibrant area where locals and tourists visit.
The Captain giving the talk will talk slowly so that your Guide can translate to your Group if required. The PA system can be heard throughout the vessel.
The Joyce Too MCA licensed and insured for 56 passengers and the Mona MCA licensed and insured for 78 passengers, both have enclosed heated saloons and toilet facilities on board, along with a large table where lunch, beverages or drinks can be assembled for distribution.
The Private Guided Tour will return to Donegall Quay after seeing all the sights of the Harbour. Coach parking at the Lagan Look Out (BT1 3EA) is available for Guided Groups with prior notice.
The Mona is wheel chair accessible.
