Power sports

Amp up the adrenaline with a powerboat or jet-ski adventure. Ireland’s inland waterways are a popular place for powered watersports, with many lakes featuring wide sections and lighter traffic than the rivers. Many towns include slipways, which offer free access for powerboats and jet-skis. While canals are not suitable for power sports, wakeboarding and waterskiing are popular on many rivers and lakes. There are numerous power sports events held on Ireland’s waterways, and the clubs that organise them often provide classes and training. 

Banana boating
Tabbed Section

The Upper and Lower Lough Erne are excellent locations for powered water-sports. Powerboating, waterskiing, and wakeboarding are particularly popular on both lakes. The channels between the islands and the broad river sections offer wind protection and flatter water, favouring wakeboarding and waterskiing. 

There are several freely accessible slipways suitable for launching boats and personal watercraft. Powerboating training and coaching sessions for wakeboarding and waterskiing are available from various clubs on the lake.
