    Sailing Holidays in Scotland

    Our sailing holidays offer an incredible way to explore Scotland’s wild coastline and remote islands. We offer a limited selection of skippered sailing trips, and due to the world-class nature of the waters we sail and the boats we use, they are popular and often sell out. In addition to joining the crew on board, we also offer private charters in Scotland which can be tailored to your request.

    Set Sail

    Discover the joy of sailing in Scotland as you explore the rugged coastline and stunning westerly isles by yacht. We sail and explore by day and stay on the boat by night, often moored in remote wilderness anchorages.

    These trips combine sailing and gentle walking as a great way to explore Scotland. Although we have outline itineraries, these are flexible, allowing us to make the most of the weather and the wind. During your adventure, you may choose to become fully involved with life on board or simply take the opportunity to relax as the captivating coastline unfurls beyond the bow. On trips that include walking on the islands, you will be joined by a professional hiking guide.

    We also arrange private charters, allowing you to craft the perfect voyage. Due to demand, these trips must be arranged 12 – 18 months in advance. Visit our tailor-made page for more details here.

    Our holidays reviewed in your own words...

    Every client receives a feedback survey when they return from their guided, self guided or tailor made holiday with us. Once completed the review is published on our website just as soon as our database updates. The little touches and details are important to us and where issues are raised we make positive changes to our trips to improve your experience.

    That’s why we read each of our client’s reviews and although we don’t respond to all of them, if it’s glowing feedback then we get the satisfaction of helping to make your holidays truly memorable.
