The Erne Boat Rally Entry via - www.erneboatrally.com It comprises of the Main Boat Rally which takes place at the end of May and the Mini Rally later in the year.

To enjoy, promote and avail of with friends new and old, the wonderful & beautiful natural amenity we have at our disposal, which is The River Erne for at least two weekend outings every year. The Erne Boat Rally is a river pilgrimage taken twice annually by boating enthusiasts and waterway lovers from all over the island of Ireland. The Erne Boat Rally is about people and entertainment, and above

all fellowship in its widest sense enjoying this natural beautiful resource we have at our disposal - The alluring River Erne, which people flock back to year upon year. The "Rally" as it is now affectionately known as has grown into one of the biggest boating fixtures in Ireland, with anything from sixty to eighty boats or more taking part every year with happy crews always enjoying themselves and making their own entertainment in the various stops designated by the commodore along its route. The pleasures of boating on the River Erne waterway has been enjoyed by people since the earliest of times from near and far, and the Erne Boat Rally, now this year once again will continue this tradition with convivial people and boating lovers indefinitely.

What a FABULOUS weekend at the Erne Boat Rally! β˜€οΈπŸš€
The weather was unreal, the craic was mighty, and we know there were plenty of cameras (and probably a few questionable dance moves) out over the weekend πŸ˜„

We’d love if everyone who attended could send us any photos you took β€” boats, sunsets, crews, fancy docking skills, or the moments best left unexplained πŸ»πŸ“Έ

Your photos may feature on our page and could even make it into next year’s rally booklet… so fame and glory await! You never know where your masterpiece might end up πŸ‘€

Send your pics to us via Messenger or email them over. The more the merrier!

What a fantastic weekend we just witnessed with some of the best people you could ever hope to meet in some of the best venues you could ever hope to frequent. Don't get me started on the weather. There must be sore knees from all the praying for sun .
The warm welcome we received across the four days was outstanding.
Congratulations to our Commodore pairing of Ryan and Ashley Clarke for a seamless rally from start to finish.
Both them and their crew should be proud of themselves for the show they put on .
A huge thanks to venues who hosted us across the 4 days
The Lisnaskea Boat Club excelled themselves with the Dinner Dance on Friday night equally the Lough Erne Yacht Club on Saturday night and Sundays Wine and Cheese Reception.
Our inward and outward s lunch stops in Enniskillen were lively affairs in The Lough Inn and Cornerstone Bars .
Belleek Village was our next port of Call which never disappoints . The Black Cat Cove Bar & Restaurant and Fiddlestone Bar pulled out all the stops once more .
We had a lovely visit to Belleek Pottery on Monday morning with a presentation to Ryan and Ashley from Patricia who helped a lot with the Rally Momentos.
Finally The Moorings Restaurant Jackie, Jerome and staff were on hand to fulfill all our needs.
Thanks to you the The Erne Boat Rally goers we would be nothing without you, until September for The Mini Rally safe travels on the water.

🌭 Boats, Burgers, and Better Company! Join us at LEYC.

Rally friends! Is there anything better than a gathering on shore after a great day on the water? We don't think so.

Come join your fellow Erne Boat Rally participants at Lough Erne Yacht Club on Saturday the 23rd of May for a truly social evening.

We’ve got a fantastic double header for you:

1️⃣ The Chip Van is coming to LEYC! It will be serving from 5 PM.
2️⃣ We’re hosting a BYO (Bring Your Own) BBQ on the LEYC grounds.

This is your invitation to bring your favorite meats (and veggies!), use the space, and enjoy a communal BBQ, or just grab a quick, delicious dinner from the van.

It’s all about relaxing, catching up, and enjoying the rally spirit. Come for the food, stay for the craic!

Join us at LEYC from 5 PM. Everyone is welcome on shore.
