About

Escape Boats offers an unparalleled escape‑room experience on a real vessel anchored at Dublin’s Grand Canal Dock and Galway’s Old Dock. Two hours of heart‑pounding adventure await, split between the original “SOS” and its sequel “Convicts”, as well as the latest “Inspectors” in Galway. Guests navigate a century‑old barge, solving puzzles across engine rooms, prison cells and clandestine inspection points. Families, corporates, gamers, and solo travellers all find something to love: a roaring atmosphere, collaborative challenge, and a chance to escape the ordinary. Younger children under eight play free, while teens and adults tackle full‑scale puzzles that demand teamwork, wit, and bravery. With 60‑minute sessions and a flexible open‑hour schedule of 10 am–10 pm, booking is essential—especially on weekends—and it is recommended to reserve at least 24 hours in advance. The site’s clear pricing, phone contact 086‑1700457 (Dublin) or 085‑1801532 (Galway), and email info@escapeboats.ie make planning straightforward. Whether you’re seeking a unique team‑building drill, a thrill‑seeking date night, or a family outing that breaks away from the usual tourist trail, Escape Boats delivers an immersive, safe, and memorable adventure aboard a historic vessel.
