Erne Tours and The Boatyard Distillery run a joint cruise and distillery day on Friday 18 September 2026, departing the Round O Jetty in Enniskillen at 1:00pm. The first leg is a 90 minute guided cruise on Lough Erne aboard the MV Kestrel, which lands guests at the distillery on the Lough Shore Road. A 90 minute distillery experience follows: a tutored gin tasting, three cocktails and a personalised 70cl bottle to take home. The return sailing has live music and storytelling with light refreshments.
The sailing is one of a short run marking two anniversaries, 50 years of Erne Tours and 10 years of The Boatyard Distillery, Fermanagh’s first legal distillery since 1890. Earlier dates in the series went in April and May 2026, which makes the September sailing the last one currently listed for the year. Numbers are capped at 40 guests, and the £98 price covers the lot: cruise, tasting, cocktails and the bottle. Guests must be 18 or over and bring valid photo identification. Boarding is 15 minutes before departure, so plan to be at the jetty by 12:45pm rather than on the hour.
The Round O Jetty is at Brook Park on the western side of Enniskillen, out along the lough shore off the Derrygonnelly Road, with a large free car park beside the jetty. Drivers reach Enniskillen on the A4 from Belfast, Dungannon or Sligo and on the A32 from Omagh. From the town centre it is a walk of about 15 minutes out past the Castle and along the water, and taxis from the bus station on Wellington Road take only a few minutes.
