The Celtic Mist, a research yacht, will retire in 2026 after 15 years of marine conservation work across Irish waters.
The Celtic Mist, a 17-meter research yacht donated to the Irish Whale and Dolphin Group in 2011, will end its 15-year service in 2026 after completing its final season.
Used for marine surveys across over 100,000 kilometers of Irish waters, the vessel supported conservation, research, and policy efforts, including expeditions to Iceland and collaborative surveys with Fair Seas.
Aging infrastructure, rising maintenance costs, and challenges in recruiting skilled volunteers led to the decision to retire it.
Based in Kilrush, County Clare, the yacht has contributed to establishing Marine Protected Areas and raised public awareness about marine life.
