Boats lit up for Christmas at Arklow Marina are certainly proving a popular draw at the County Wicklow Harbour.
In COVID-19 lockdown, boat owners have responded to the need to brighten up peoples lives by decorating their boats for the festive season.
"Several of us agreed to light up our boats and we even fitted a Christmas tree," local boater Jimmy Myler told Afloat.
The attraction is bringing lots of visitors to the harbour, Jimmy says.
