Join us for a sailing holiday among the Hebrides. Puffin and porpoises, deer and dolphins, seabirds and seals, wildflowers and waterfalls, all combine with exciting sailing, good company, excellent food and spectacular island scenery to help create the Corryvreckan experience. This is sailing in Scotland at its best and it makes a wonderful and varied holiday!
The West coast of Scotland with its sheltered lochs and remote islands is a superb cruising ground largely untouched by man. The spectacular scenery is seen at its best from the sea and traveling under sail we can use the forces of nature without disturbing or defacing the environment. The ever changing views, the innumerable seabirds and the unpredictable sightings of seals, dolphins and whales all contribute to a real sense of adventure. Seeing three different sorts of dolphin in one day in May last year was a big treat and through the rest of the season there were other dolphins, sightings of minke whales and quite a few basking sharks cruising around. The sea birds are a constant source of delight. Gannets, fulmars and shear waters soar around us as we sail and watching puffins, guillemots and razor bills at one of their overcrowded nest sites is an unforgettable experience.
There is no set route to follow; every cruise is different as wind and weather dictate distance and destination. During every season we sail the length and breadth of the West coast of Scotland, from Gigha to Stornoway, and from Skye to St. Kilda.
Even on a one week cruise there are many beautiful anchorages to visit including lovely islands such as Mull, Gigha, Iona, Canna and Staffa (see picture on the left of Fingal's Cave). On a longer cruise we can go further afield to the north of Skye, the Outer Hebrides and even St. Kilda. The picture above shows the stunning beach on Mingulay just South of Barra. In all Corryvreckan has anchored in at least 368 different places while sailing in Scotland!
