Hailing from the rugged North Coast, The Causeway Shantymen have earned their reputation as seasoned seafarers whose shanties set hearts pounding—prompting audiences to stomp, holler, and ring in the rhythm by their second shanty.

Formed in March 2023, the Shantymen stand as a recognised society dedicated to enhancing mental health and positive wellbeing among adult men.

Anchored in Portballintrae, they set sail on every journey buoyed by lasting friendships, bold adventures, and a vibrant passion that echoes the allure of a treasure chest brimming with rum.

The journey so far has uincluded triumphant festival performances including Stendhal, Rosses Point Wild Atlantic Shanty Festival, Foyle Maritime Festival, Rathlin Sounds Festival, Greencastle Regatta Festival to name but a few.
