Canoe the Blackwater Featured
Welcome to Blackwater Boating, an exciting discovery centre based on the expansive River Blackwater at Cappoquin, Co Waterford. Using my 35 years of experience, you can discover the secrets of the banks of the river from the safety of our ICU approved canoes and kayaks. Whether you want to canoe upriver and camp, or explore the magnificent stately homes on the shores, we have just the right package for you.
Blackwater Boating is the brainchild of Denis Murray, an avid rower and native of Cappoquin, Co. Waterford. Growing up next to the beautiful river Blackwater, Denis has always appreciated the excitement and wonder of this historic stretch of water. A lifelong member of Cappoquin Rowing Club and native of the area, Denis’ personal knowledge of the river and its surrounds are second to none. Blackwater Boating is his way of sharing that magic.
Marrying excitement and adrenalin with history and breath-taking scenery, Blackwater Boating is an amazing adventure for explorers of all ages.
Allow us to take you on the adventure of a lifetime with our wide range of water activities and varied Blackwater Boating packages.

"As a family we went with Denis last year for the first time - it was sensational! We went back again within a month and will go again this year. We love the river Blackwater, so huge, so varied and unspoilt. Denis took us to places we never knew existed, and drifting with the tide on the river is just bliss." - Martin
