Our Sailing School is located on the beautiful island of Heir Island situated between Sherkin Island and West and East Skeam.

To access the island the easiest method is to take the ferry straight from Cunnamore Pier on the dedicated Heir Island Ferry. To view Timetables and more info related to the ferry please click the link Here.

​Getting to Cunamore Pier is quite easy. Take the N71 from Skibbereen towards Schull/Killarney. After 6.5 kms there is a small Church of Ireland Church on the right hand side, immediately after it there is a turn to the left, signpost on the right indicates Heir Island and Cunnamore Pier (on the left hand side there are two large local signs for Lough Marsh). Follow signs to Cunnamore Pier/Heir Island and you will pass a school on the right after 4.5 km, Lisheen church after 5.5 km, and Minihans Pub on the right after 6.2 km. Continue straight at turn to Turk Head after 6.3 km. The Whitehall house is on your left after 7.7 km. Continue on with the sea on your left and after 9.6 km you will arrive at Cunnamore Pier, where there is ample parking at the pier.
