There used to be several on the W coast of Scotland - Ardtalla, plus one out of Dunstaffnage I think. OK, it isn't the Irish sea, but much safer & more interesting cruising.
Nelson said "Anyone who can sail the Irish sea can sail anywhere" with good reason. Tide ranges are huge, harbours dry out, the water is shallow - so waves are short & steep, plus there are relatively few safe havens & lots of dangerous shorelines. The law of averages means it isn't a good place to insure charter boats. It also reduces the potential number of customers willing to take the risk.
