Hey There
At Island Boat Charters we are passionate about the local wildlife around the Copeland Islands. From the seal's to the shearwaters, we observe from a distance and admire the beauty of the natural world.
Our Team
Founded in 2015 by local skipper Philip, and is supported by his partner Margaret. Philip has been the local boatman to the Copeland Islands for the islanders and the Copeland Bird Observatory for the last twenty five years.
As well as supporting the Commisioners of Irish lights taking them to the Mew Island Lighthouse.
​This is a family run experience designed for the local community and the ever increasing number of visitors to explore the beauty of the Copeland Islands. Philip has lived in Donaghadee for almost all of his life. Philip is a passionate boatman that is highly skilled. ​
​As a passionate bird observer and fisherman, Philip can tell you about the wildlife you may see on your cruise, fishing trip or private charter. ​​​​​
