Your Sailing Adventure starts at Mallaig where we meet at the pontoons a short walk from the railway station. Travel is easy and if you choose to join us by train your holiday has most definitely started already as the world-famous West Highland Line has been ranked amongst the most picturesque train rides in the world (not to mention the Harry Potter connections).

After an introduction to the yacht, Stravaigin, your skipper John and guide, we will have a safety brief before a short sail to our first night’s anchorage.This will enable us to get our sea legs and let you get to know your home for the next week.Your holiday will be spent sailing between delightful Islands and remote mainland bays from where we will go ashore with our guide for a chosen walk.

On return to the boat - after the all-important coffee and cake - we will set sail for our next Anchorage where we can plan for our next days’ excursion, enjoy hearty locally sourced food, and spend the night at anchor under a blanket of stars. Wind down with a dram or hot chocolate in hand recounting the day’s adventure and looking forward to the next.

Highlights:

•Walking the Squrr of Eigg for an amazing vista with the Small Isles spread around you.

•Anchoring In Loch Scavaig under the iconic Cuillin hills on the Isle of Skye amongst a seal colony. Wake the next morning to walk around the stunning fresh waters of Loch Coruisk or choose to climb Sgurr Na Stri. Many walkers reckon that the view from the summit - over Loch Coruisk, the Cuillin and the sea - is the finest in all Britain.
