Join us on a 7 day all inclusive Sailing trip.
Starting in Mallaig, a rail and bus terminus with ample visitor attractions and accommodation, we meet our guests at the pontoons located in the busy fishing harbour.
Welcome aboard, meet skipper and settle in. Safety talk and boat familiarisation over a cup of tea/coffee and cake.
Short sail to local anchorage for our first night, get to know boat and try out sailing skills or just sit back and take in the scenery.
Depart local anchorage and enjoy a scenic sail leaving the mainland behind as we head west to the first of our small isles visits, the Isle of Muck for a lunchtime anchorage and short visit ashore before heading off to Eigg, its prominent Sgurr dominating the archipelagos’ skyline.At Eigg, a community owned island, we can get ashore and explore the pretty coast, pay a visit the delightful café to enjoy some homebaking before returning to the boat for dinner and evening aboard in the sheltered bay with the dramatic backdrop of the escarpment behind us.
Departing Eigg we head farther west to the Isle of Rum, this stretch of water is known for regular sightings of dolphin and whale and plentiful seabirds including puffin, Manx shearwaters, guillemot and gannets. or simply enjoy a coastal walk along Kinloch Bay with the imposing Rum Cuillin dominating the skyline above.
Leaving Kinloch Bay and sailing over to Canna, a pretty low lying island famous for bird life, where we anchor in the bay with a colony of seals keeping us company.
A visit ashore to explore the island and white sandy beach on the western shore, picked over by colourful oyster catchers.An afternoon visit to another local café before returning to the boat for dinner and evening enjoying the peaceful surroundings.
We make our way north to the island of Skye, visiting Soay on the way, an interesting little island with a fascinating industrial and environmental history.
We anchor in Loch Scavaig beneath the stunning Skye Black Cuillin, a true wild and imposing landscape.After breakfast we head east and back to the mainland to anchor locally, potentially in Loch Nevis on the coast of one of Scotland’s last wilderness areas and location of the country’s remotest pub! arriving late morning in good time to pack up and disembark to catch transport or book into accommodation.
The above is a typical itinerary however we also have as an option if preferred or weather dictates, to circum-navigate the Isle of Skye visiting its famous distillery, the delightful main town of Portree, exploring the rugged coastline of the “Misty” isle and taking in the grandeur of the sea cliffs of Trotternish and jagged peaks of the Black Cuillin. We may also get an opportunity to drop anchor on the enchanting island of Rona. In this world-renowned cruising ground we have plenty of choices.
