Organised jointly by the Athlone Branch and the Carrick Branch of the Inland Waterways Association of Ireland (IWAI), the Shannon Boat Rally is the most prestigious and well-attended boating event on Ireland's inland waterways.
From its origins, the rally has grown in popularity every year, attracting all classes of vessels, with up to three hundred people participating with their families and friends in sports, games, sailing and boating competitions, quizzes, talent and music events while improving their boating skills and promoting safe practices on our waterways.
The rally brings boaters of all abilities and experiences together to share a common purpose, to enjoy the waterways, to share boating know-how and improve their boating skills.
The boat rally promotes the development of facilities along the navigation and brings a great dynamic and valuable business to the towns and villages along the river and lakes.
The IWAI Shannon Boat Rally will be taking place as follows:
The Shannon is a wonderful resource being important to leisure and recreation, heritage, tourism and the environment.
