At Maritime Expert, we’re boat people first — the kind who believe time on the water should be enjoyable, safe, and confidence-boosting, not stressful or intimidating.
We’re based in the heart of Ireland, operating primarily on the River Shannon, Lough Ree, and surrounding waterways, and we specialise in professional marine services that actually make life easier for boat owners, crews, and organisations. Whether you’re stepping aboard for the first time, running a commercial operation, or need expert support on the water, you’re in safe hands with us.
Our team is made up of highly experienced skippers and instructors with real-world backgrounds — not just certificates on the wall. We combine practical knowledge, calm decision-making, and a safety-first mindset with a relaxed, friendly approach that puts people at ease. We take what we do seriously, but we don’t take ourselves too seriously.
From RIB training and confidence-building tuition, to safety boat services, vessel delivery, surveys support, and professional RIB hire for film, media, and commercial projects, everything we offer is built around reliability, clear communication, and doing the job properly. No drama. No shortcuts. Just solid seamanship and good judgement.
We also understand that every customer is different. Some want adrenaline and skills. Others want reassurance and guidance. Many want both. Our role is to meet you where you are, tailor the experience to your needs, and leave you better off than when you arrived — more confident, more capable, and smiling as you step back ashore.
At the end of the day, we’re here because we love boats, water, and helping people get more from both. If it floats, moves, or needs looking after on the water… chances are we’re into it.
