BUILT FROM DAYS ON THE RIVER
Starting with
Portumna to Athlone.
Canalwise grows from real visits and practical questions, not just pins on a map. We’re collecting first-hand observations along the Shannon and turning them into useful place cards.
Our first test journey follows the river from Portumna towards Athlone. More places and richer information will follow as the pilot develops.

A pilot, not a finished navigation service.
The public app is an early test version. Route integration and place-card publication are still in progress; some screens or information may not yet be available.
ON THE HORIZON
More awareness.
Fewer surprises.
We want to make it easier to spot changes that could affect your day: a lock out of service, a bridge restriction or a busy marina.
Live closure alerts and marina occupancy are planned features, not currently available services. Until reliable information is connected, always confirm current conditions with official notices, operators and local staff.
