If you mean Charter boats, well then Kinsale is very well catered for. Check the inland fisheries website for a list of Cork charter boats. I have fished with Butch Roberts on "Sundance Kid", and would recommend him, but I don't think you'd go too wrong with any of the boats listed.

From what I have seen in adverts and suchlike these seem to be open boats. They have small engines and are built for comfort rather than speed. Same for Mark Gannon's set up. Probably grand on nice days and a bit of exploring close to base.

The other self drive in the area is The Bellavista. Their fleet offers high end craft (Warrior 175) but you would want to be serious about your day and get the most from fishing as I would think the BV boat would be more expensive.
