Late Summer Sailing (Inner Hebrides) << previous cruise
Sunday 7 to Saturday 13 September 2008 back to list of cruises
6 nights  |  Zuza  |  £810 per person next cruise >>
Availability (6) one double cabin and two twin berth cabins

Minke whale which we will hopefully encounter

Synopsis: a late season cruise combining sailing and power - ideal for trying out that "wind in your hair" experience! We'll explore the Inner Hebridean "hotspots" for whales, dolphins, porpoise and basking shark. Walks planned daily. Some seabirds (see list below) and a very small possibility of seeing the Northern Lights.

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 Loch Spelve (good for otters and eagles) or perhaps on anchor in Duart Bay or Oban.

The itinerary is dependent on weather - balancing shelter with some exciting sailing - but may include, for example, some of the following destinations: Mull, Iona, the Cairns of Coll, the Small Isles and the Garvellachs. If time and weather permit we'll include a visit to the Guld of Corryvreckan. Expect sea and golden eagles, cetaceans including perhaps basking shark and some seabirds.

On the final day we will lock in at Corpach around 1230 (exact time is tide dependent) for your departure after lunch on Saturday 13 September. 

Sightings and findings from previous similar cruises: adders, basking shark, common dolphins, gannets, golden eagles, minke whales, Northern Lights, otters, sea eagles, sunsets, swallow, wild goats, wren

Please Note: The journey described above is typical of this cruise but is not guaranteed. Sightings and findings are examples from previous similar cruises; the list is neither exhaustive nor guaranteed.
