Geraghty Boat Charters: Passing the Torch


If you have ever set sail from Blacksod Pier to explore the Inishkea Islands and Achill Island or if you have went on a sea angling adventure to Black Rock, then you most likely sailed with Captains Mattie and Josephine of Geraghty's Boat Charters, a family run business who are well known all along the Wild Atlantic Way. But now, after 31 years at the helm, the couple have decided to pass the torch to their successor, their son Jason, who along with his partner Katherine and daughters Maisie and Kitty, are set to lead Geraghty Boat Charters into the next chapter.


Conveying sincere appreciation, Mattie and Josephine extend thanks to everyone who has been part
of their remarkable journey. “We wish to thank each and everyone who supported us, sailed with us,
helped us, and skippered for us during the last 30 years. The community's support and the memories created will always be remembered in Geraghty Charters history.”

              Locals celebrate the launch of Geraghty's Boat Charters in 1993

Manager of Mayo North Tourism, Mairéad Melody Carr, extends her heartfelt gratitude to Mattie and Josephine for their unwavering dedication to tourism in North Mayo. “Geraghtys welcome everyone as friends, and their captivating stories and warm hospitality have not only left a lasting impression on international visitors, the domestic market, and locals but also resonated with media and influencers. Best wishes go to Jason, Katherine, Maisie, and Kitty for success in growing this business. On behalf of Mayo North Tourism, I express our sincere appreciation for the Geraghty family's contributions and eagerly look forward to the exciting next chapter in Geraghty Charters journey along Blacksod Bay and the Wild Atlantic Way.”

Priscilla Movie Review

  Last Thursday at Aras Inis Gluaire Belmullet, they screened director and screen writer Sofia Coppola's biographical movie, 'Priscilla'. The movie tells the tale of Priscilla Beaulieu, who through loving Elvis Presley had everything and nothing all at the same time. A tale of isolation, lonliness and the dark side of what seemed to be a fairytale. The lead roles were played by Cailee Spaeny (Priscilla) and Jacob Elordi (Elvis). I thought Spaeny did a fantastic job at portraying Priscilla's innocence when she first met Elvis and Elordi also impressed as a much darker Elvis to what viewers are used to seeing. The movie itself is based on Priscilla's memoir 'Elvis and Me'. This is her story of what life was like with the King of Rock'n'Roll and it does not portray him in a good light. Spoiled, misogynistic, psychologically abusive and deviant are words that come to mind when you ask me to describe the man I seen on screen. Priscilla did everything to t...

  IMAGE: ISPCA Parrot Rescue Ireland  are based in Sligo and they have taken on the care of a number of exotic birds who were recently rescued from 'a hoarding situation' in the Midlands. In total, 121 birds of various species including parrots, budgies, quail, parakeets, finches, cockateils and domestic hens were found in what the ISPCA has described as 'deplorable conditions'. When a member of the public reported their concerns to the ISPCA, a multi-agency operation was organised including, the gardai, the HSE and the National Parks and Wildlife Service. ISPCA Inspector Lyndsey Delaney detailed the horrific conditions to  The Journal  where she described how there was a build up of faeces, fly infestation, rotton food and the bird cages had cobwebs on them making it clear how neglected these birds were.
