The Erne Boat Rally

The Erne Boat Rally Entry via - www.erneboatrally.com It comprises of the Main Boat Rally which takes place at the end of May and the Mini Rally later in the year.

To enjoy, promote and avail of with friends new and old, the wonderful & beautiful natural amenity we have at our disposal, which is The River Erne for at least two weekend outings every year. The Erne Boat Rally is a river pilgrimage taken twice annually by boating enthusiasts and waterway lovers from all over the island of Ireland. The Erne Boat Rally is about people and entertainment, and above

all fellowship in its widest sense enjoying this natural beautiful resource we have at our disposal - The alluring River Erne, which people flock back to year upon year. The "Rally" as it is now affectionately known as has grown into one of the biggest boating fixtures in Ireland, with anything from sixty to eighty boats or more taking part every year with happy crews always enjoying themselves and making their own entertainment in the various stops designated by the commodore along its route. The pleasures of boating on the River Erne waterway has been enjoyed by people since the earliest of times from near and far, and the Erne Boat Rally, now this year once again will continue this tradition with convivial people and boating lovers indefinitely.

🚤 2026 MINI RALLY — THAT’S A WRAP! 🚤

And just like that… the 2026 Mini Rally has sailed off into the sunset! What a weekend! 🍻🎶

We kicked things off at Lisnaskea Boat Club with our now annual Come Dine With Me — and judging by the amount of food that appeared, nobody wanted to risk going hungry! 😂🍽️

Everyone brought along a dish they love, and what a spread it was! From home-cooked favourites to enough food to feed the entire marina, there was something for everyone. Full bellies, empty plates and absolutely no room left for dessert… although that certainly didn’t stop anyone! 🤣

With the dinner duties complete, the night rolled on with fantastic entertainment from City Dump Street, keeping the craic going long into the evening. 🎶🍻

Saturday morning arrived suspiciously early for some… but with fresh heads (well, somewhat fresh! 😜), we set off down the river towards Belturbet, with one of this year’s Commodores, Ryan, doing the honours and waving the rally along. 🚤👋
Once again The Lisnaskea Boat Club were fantastic hosts. Thanks to Darwin and the Committee for always making us welcome.

Once in Belturbet, we paused for a very special and poignant Memory Ceremony at the new Belturbet Inland Waterways bench along the shoreline — a beautiful addition to the town and a fitting place to remember those who are no longer with us. ❤️

And with that, another Mini Rally comes to a close.

Another brilliant weekend. Another load of memories. Another year of good craic on the water. 🚤🍻

A massive thank you to everyone who helped organise, took part, cooked, entertained, waved us along, and generally contributed to making the 2026 Rally another fantastic one!

🎬 That’s us over and out for 2026…

Now to recover, dry out, find out who actually won Come Dine With Me and start planning 2027! 😂

See you all on the water! 🚤💙

What a FABULOUS weekend at the Erne Boat Rally! ☀️🚤
The weather was unreal, the craic was mighty, and we know there were plenty of cameras (and probably a few questionable dance moves) out over the weekend 😄

We’d love if everyone who attended could send us any photos you took — boats, sunsets, crews, fancy docking skills, or the moments best left unexplained 🍻📸

Your photos may feature on our page and could even make it into next year’s rally booklet… so fame and glory await! You never know where your masterpiece might end up 👀

Send your pics to us via Messenger or email them over. The more the merrier!

What a fantastic weekend we just witnessed with some of the best people you could ever hope to meet in some of the best venues you could ever hope to frequent. Don't get me started on the weather. There must be sore knees from all the praying for sun .
The warm welcome we received across the four days was outstanding.
Congratulations to our Commodore pairing of Ryan and Ashley Clarke for a seamless rally from start to finish.
Both them and their crew should be proud of themselves for the show they put on .
A huge thanks to venues who hosted us across the 4 days
The Lisnaskea Boat Club excelled themselves with the Dinner Dance on Friday night equally the Lough Erne Yacht Club on Saturday night and Sundays Wine and Cheese Reception.
Our inward and outward s lunch stops in Enniskillen were lively affairs in The Lough Inn and Cornerstone Bars .
Belleek Village was our next port of Call which never disappoints . The Black Cat Cove Bar & Restaurant and Fiddlestone Bar pulled out all the stops once more .
We had a lovely visit to Belleek Pottery on Monday morning with a presentation to Ryan and Ashley from Patricia who helped a lot with the Rally Momentos.
Finally The Moorings Restaurant Jackie, Jerome and staff were on hand to fulfill all our needs.
Thanks to you the The Erne Boat Rally goers we would be nothing without you, until September for The Mini Rally safe travels on the water.
