HOWTH IS ACTUALLY ON THE NORTH SIDE


Perhaps what Howth is most recognised for in the boating world is being home to Ireland largest yacht club, which was first founded in 1895 making it over 125 years old. Featuring a relatively new club house which was constructed in 1987.  Although Howth contains a large number of yachts and small boats, it is still an active fishing port with some boat maintenance taking place on site.


The fishing fleet in Howth, Ireland is a small but active one. There are about 20 fishing boats based in Howth, ranging in size from small inshore boats to larger offshore trawlers. The boats fish for a variety of species, including cod, haddock, whiting, plaice, mackerel, and herring.


The fishing fleet in Howth has a long history. The first recorded mention of fishing in Howth dates back to the 12th century. In the 19th century, Howth was a major fishing port, and the boats from Howth supplied fish to markets all over Ireland.


Today, the fishing fleet in Howth is facing challenges. The fishing quotas imposed by the European Union have made it difficult for the boats to make a living. In addition, the rising cost of fuel and other expenses has also put a strain on the fishing industry.


Despite the challenges, the fishing fleet in Howth is determined to survive. The fishermen are proud of their tradition and are committed to continuing to fish in the waters off Howth.
