Featured Scottish Sailing Holidays
Book your activity holiday with Europe's No.1 Adventure Travel Company - Wilderness Scotland
Discover the joys of sailing holidays in Scotland as you explore the west coast and islands by yacht.
We sail and explore by day and stay on the yachts overnight, often moored in remote wilderness anchorages.
These trips combine sailing and gentle walking as a great way to explore Scotland’s islands and coast. Although we have outline itineraries, these are flexible, allowing you to follow the best weather and winds.
Our classic sailing yacht is a beautifully restored traditional wooden gaff cutter, so provides a memorable way to island hop. Our expert skipper will have you at the helm in no time, while the first mate / chef will soon be your best friend! On trips which involve walking on the islands, we also have an expert and qualified walking guide on board.
We also arrange private charters so you can build the perfect sailing journey. We have access to a wide range of yachts for private charter, including a luxury Swan 68 for the ultimate sailing charter in Scotland. Visit our tailor made page for details and to contact us for a private charter.

Sailing and Walking - Knoydart, Skye & The Small Isles
Being in the waves, waking up in the morning in remote bays, going ashore on a tender, being alone in mountains and hills, seeing the big skies, hardly ever growing dark.
