If you hire the one that bluebell is talking about, you`ll get splinters!

I very much doubt Galway would let you two in.

Got to be worth a punt.

I see what you did there! ;)

Everyone knows those damn hooker companies jack up the prices during the races. I'd give the hooker a miss and look for a cheaper ride.

not exactly sure, but seemingly there's cheap versions to be got in the emerging nations, friends of mine said they're very cheap in bulgaria

The Galway Hooker is not a lady of doubtful repute but actually a small wooden sailing boat that can still be seen in use around the coast.

The Galway Hooker is the name given to the boat constructed specifically to deal with the unwieldy seas off the West Coast. It is most easily identified by the sail formation, which consists of a single mast with a main sail and two foresails. During their heyday they were used to ship goods throughout the West of Ireland. Everything from livestock to potatoes and peat were transported in the cargo area of these sturdy sailing vessels.

Though the Galway Hookers have long since been replaced by power craft, they can still be viewed moored up in the Claddagh, the traditional home to Galway's fishermen. .... The best place to see them in their full splendour is the annual Gathering of the Boats (Cruinniu na Mbad) Festival in Kinvara in early August.

I couldn't find any for hire. Go up to Claddagh, or ask in Kinvara. It's early August now - the perfect time to see lots of the boats.
