Round Rathlin Last sailing

Rathlin Island headland from the bow of the Selkie

That's the season for Round Rathlin


Sailed its last of 2026 on Thursday 6 August · back next season

The last Round Rathlin of the year has been and gone: once around the whole island, all three lighthouses, an hour ashore at Church Bay. Thank you to everyone who sailed it with us. The West Light mostly waits for next season now, though when conditions on the ocean send a sailing round the west side, it still makes the odd surprise appearance. This page will wake up again when next year's dates are set.

The sea is far from empty

The seals never leave, the lighthouses never miss a sailing, and the boat still goes out most days. Here's what's on the water now.
