FROM DISCOVERING SECLUDED BAYS TO EXPLORING ENDLESS HORIZONS, you will see

Explore the nooks and crannies of Scotland’s spectacular coastline, guided by professional crew at your own pace. Escape from the hustle and bustle of modern, “always on” living. Enjoy the freedom and adventure to be found by taking to the sea. Visit Iconic locations which are renowned the world over or perhaps venture offshore, sailing under the stars. On sailing holidays, the skipper is responsible for the boat and often spends many weeks during the season on the yacht. Customers can book anything from a single berth to the whole boat and need not be experienced sailors themselves, as the responsibility for the sailing and navigation rests with the skipper. Journeys can be pre-planned or at the discretion of the guests. Guests can join in as much as they wish, particularly with the washing up, although larger vessels sometimes have a full-time crew who will take care of that as well. With a host of companies to choose from, there’s a variety of tailored services to suit every preference. Some cruises may be based around a theme such as wildlife or a tour of whisky distilleries, while others have a specific aim such as reaching St Kilda or climbing a particular mountain. Many boats have a speciality such as gourmet cooking, walking, mountaineering or adventure sailing. Activities such as windsurfing, water-skiing or diving are often also available on some larger boats.

Scotland in a whole new light on a sailing holiday. The country offers so much along its vast and diverse coastline, and out on the open seas, this is a truly magical way to see Scotland and all of its beauty from a new perspective every day.
