Schools & Youth Groups 


Our programmes place students at the centre of Dublin’s living maritime environment. On the River Liffey, beside the historic Jeanie Johnston, young people engage in structured, confidence‑building activities within a setting shaped by resilience and courage.

Alongside the excitement of watersports and adventure, students also learn about Dublin’s history, the story of the River Liffey. It’s an immersive way to connect with the past while experiencing the river in the present.

It’s not simply watersports — it’s experiential learning that develops teamwork, leadership and self‑belief in a location rich with meaning.

Important Information – Watercraft Availability
 
We'll do our very best to ensure everyone gets to enjoy their preferred watercraft. However, availability may vary depending on the tide and weather conditions on the day. For everyone's safety and enjoyment, our instructors will make the final decision on which craft are suitable to use.
