Availability (3) one double cabin; one space for female guest sharing (top bunk)

Black guillemot, seen throughout the Inner Hebrides

Synopsis: an early season cruise combining sailing and power - ideal for trying out that "wind in your hair" experience! Walks planned daily. Large numbers of nesting seabirds and perhaps early cetaceans (see list below).

Destination: guests join Zuza at Corpach Sea Lock around 1500 for a lock out on the tide. Following a cruise/ sail down beautiful Loch Linnhe the first night may be spent in Ardtornish Bay or Loch Sunart.

The itinerary is dependent on weather - balancing shelter with some exciting sailing - but may include, for example, some of the following destinations: Mull, the Small Isles (Rum, Canna, Eigg and Muck), the Treshish Isles, Gometra, Iona, Coll and the Garvellachs, etc. Expect sea and golden eagles, perhaps some early cetaceans and seabirds such as gannets and puffins.

On the final day we will lock in at Corpach around 1230 (exact time is tide dependent) for your departure after lunch on Sunday 1 June.
