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. Depending on the winds, we would usually be sailing in the Hebrides or Malin waters.
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.

The Bottom Line
We were so fortunate to experience incredibly perfect weather for sailing and walking, which of course contributed hugely to our enjoyment and appreciation of some of Scotland's wild and remote places. I am also convinced that we would not have had such an amazing time had it not been for the organisation, knowledge and skill of all the Wilderness Scotland staff, who work so hard in the background to ensure their clients have the best ever holiday. Thank you!
