Doolin Ferry had the honour of hosting Hollywood actor Steve Carell during his visit to Inis Meáin, the middle of the three islands.
Known worldwide for his iconic roles as Michael Scott in NBC’s The Office, the voice of Gru in Despicable Me, Brick Tamland in Anchorman, and appearances in Little Miss Sunshine and Netflix’s The Four Seasons, Carell’s visit marks a star-studded moment for the family-owned business.
During his visit, Steve Carell took the helm of the ferry briefly, immersing himself fully in the experience and posed for photographs with Connor O’Brien, son of owner Liam and other crew members.
Carell is the latest in a long line of celebrities to sail with Doolin Ferry. Last year the company welcomed world-renowned Celebrity Chef Gordon Ramsay aboard. He travelled with Doolin Ferry to Inis Oírr, the smallest of the three Aran Islands to film scenes for National Geographic’s acclaimed series “Gordon Ramsay: Uncharted.”
Earlier this summer, Doolin Ferry welcomed Christopher McDonald, best known for his role as the villainous golfer Shooter McGavin in the comedy Happy Gilmore and its recently released sequel, Happy Gilmore 2. McDonald joined a Doolin Ferry tour beneath the Cliffs of Moher, taking in the breathtaking views of one of Ireland’s most iconic natural landmarks.
Commenting on the latest celebrity visit, Liam O’Brien said: “It’s always a pleasure to welcome special guests aboard Doolin Ferry. Each visit is a reminder of how lucky we are to operate in such a stunning part of the world. Whether our passengers are celebrities or visiting for the first time, our goal is the same – to give everyone an unforgettable experience on the water, combining breathtaking scenery with a true sense of Irish hospitality.”
