About Us

Mooney Boats Ltd: The Complete Marine Solution

Mooney Boats Ltd is a family-run boatyard based in Killybegs, Co. Donegal. We have been building and repairing boats for over 44 years, and we are proud to be one of the largest marine employers in the area.

Our History

Mooney Boats Ltd was founded by the late Micheal Mooney, a skilled boatbuilder from Killybegs. Micheal began his career in the BIM boatyard in Killybegs in the early 1960s. After completing his apprenticeship, he left the BIM Boatyard and started building small wooden punts in the front garden of his home in Killybegs in the late 1960s.
In the early 1970s, Micheal moved to his father’s old forge in Bridge Street, Killybegs. As the fishing industry in Killybegs developed, so did Micheal’s business. In 1982, he bought a site from the Department of Marine and erected his new 8,000 sq/ft workshop adjacent to the Blackrock Pier. This is where he set up his company, Mooney Boats Ltd.

Our Expansion

In 1984, Micheal bought the old BIM Boatyard at Castle Point, Killybegs. He reopened the slip, and the first vessel out was the Mfv Gerona, owned by the late Nobel Morrow.
Over the next few years, the company grew rapidly, employing up to 14 people by 1990. In addition to servicing the west coast fishing fleet, the company began building new vessels. Mooney Boats Ltd delivered its first steel trawler, the 14m Chrisolga, in 1987, and then four small passenger vessels between 1992 and 1995.
In 1998, the company extended its St Catherine’s Road site by 9,000 sq/ft and developed a new machine shop. The original part of the building was converted into a marine chandlery shop and a large hydraulic store.
