Our Nautical heritage
About Us
How it started
In the 1970s, sailmaker Steve Sperry decided to make a tent for a local party using the tools and materials he had on-hand. For this reason, Sperry Tents® are imbued with a nautical heritage that has resonated with event professionals and clients worldwide.
To this day, each Sperry Tent is handcrafted from genuine cloth (not vinyl!) with great attention to every detail.
Sperry Tents Ireland
Sperry Tents Ireland is proud to join the brand’s international family of providers and looks forward to creating memorable occasions in County Kerry and beyond.
The Isle’s exclusive provider
Sperry Tents Ireland is the exclusive provider of handmade Sperry Tents® throughout the isle. The components of our handmade marquee — solid wood center poles, sailcloth canopy, waving pennants atop each peak — are aesthetically pleasing, resulting in a truly stunning whole. Our Sperry Tents® marquee is highly sought after for its quiet elegance and sweeping panels of genuine sailcloth.
