Imagine sitting inside a warm and comfortable boat, eating freshly prepared canapés or homemade scones whilst sipping a delicious fruit smoothie. On one side you look out and see historic buildings, on the other seals bobbing in the water and birds swooping nearby...and you haven't left the harbour yet.
Click to read a little about some of the islands you might be able to visit, the wildlife you may see and don’t forget to look at our photo galleries compiled from images sent to us by our brilliant guests. Breakfast, a filling 2-course lunch, homemade cakes or biscuits and 3-course dinner will be served daily. All your "in between" snacks such as biscuits, hot drinks and fruit are included in the price. Click to read about the homemade food that we serve onboard. |

Out
at sea it's another world. Delightful dolphins, mighty minkes, pantomime
puffins and elusive otters...all
viewed from the comfort and safety of a small and friendly cruise boat.
Red deer can be seen on the peaks and beaches while eagles soar overhead.
A huge variety of birds fish the seas and unusual plant-life including
wild orchids, palm trees and exotic sub-tropical gardens - thanks to the
warm Gulf Stream - complete the scene. The Hebrides is renowned for its
extraordinary diversity of wildlife, birds and scenery with seas amongst
the richest for cetaceans in Europe.
Our
varied cruises all share one common aim – to show you North West
Scotland’s natural environment and a sample of all that it has to offer.
By "natural environment" we mean landscapes such as hills and
beaches, plants, trees, flowers and grasses; birds ranging from puffins
and gannets to eagles and petrels; cetaceans (whales, dolphins and
porpoise); other marine mammals such as basking sharks and seals; mammals
such as otter and deer and, last but not least, natural phenomena such as
rainbows and beautiful sunsets. In a word our cruises remain
"flexible" to encompass the vagaries of the weather and the
interests of those onboard. We like to ask guests where they might like to
go and what they hope to see and, if possible, we’ll weave these
requests into the cruise. Some cruises have destination-specific
itineraries, some do not.
Daily
shore visits are an important part of every cruise. Although both our
boats are fabulous who wants to spend 24 hours a day at sea? A shore visit
might comprise a short stroll or a longer all-day walk when a packed lunch
will be provided. There are picture-perfect beaches, bustling towns,
glorious gardens, historic castles and a whole range of hills, large and
small, for you to explore. Shore visits are optional and if you'd rather
stay on the boat you may of course do so. Evenings might find the vessel
in a tranquil sea loch where the evening meal could be accompanied by a
warm sunset or a glowing moon. On other evenings the boat might visit
local towns and villages enabling guests to visit pubs and inns perhaps
for a wee dram or a walk after dinner. We never plan to cruise at night
and will do so only if weather dictates passage to a safer haven.
