The is navigable from in the North to Killaloe/Limerick in the South. The Shannon-Erne waterway provides the link between the Erne in the North and the Shannon in the South. This link re-opened in 1994. The waterway is approx 65 kms in length consisting of 16 locks along the entire link. Many of Silver Line craft can navigate this system, however some of our cruisers will have air-draft restrictions. Full details available from our office. The River Shannon is without doubt one of the best cruising areas in Europe. It is also one of the easiest, as the Shannon has only 7 locks alongs its entire 500 navigable kms. These locks are mainly operated by lock keepers, which makes your journey easy going and enjoyable. There are hundreds of places of interest where you can stop off as long as you want.
