To the waiting list

We ask for your understanding that separate bookings must be made for each traveler.

We sail in one of the most remote areas of Europe. Scotland and the offshore islands form the north-western outpost of our continent and have a pristine and natural beauty of the highest order.

We sail in the challenging tidal waters of the Hebrides, sail through the Caledonian Canal and observe whales, seals, eagles, identify animals and plants and hike along miles of deserted beaches. A visit to a pub or two is also on the program.

We sail on a high-level expedition yacht of the type “GARCIA EXPLORATION 52”. This yacht was designed by probably the most famous and experienced English circumnavigator (founder of the ARC and several other ocean races) and is only built to order in Cherbourg.

Our OceanLife trips are also a special experience because we have the perfect equipment on board. Equipped with telescopes (1x) and binoculars (6x) from premium manufacturer Swarovski Optik, we don’t miss a single detail. Color fidelity and maximum edge-to-edge sharpness combined with great contrast make for a first-class viewing experience.

All our skippers are professionals and slowly introduce the crew to the wildlife, geology and special features of the Hebrides.

And because we are sailing instructors, there is no shortage of instruction and training activities on any of our Sailing trips if this is requested by the crew.

Possible route (flexible depending on wind and weather):
Fort William, Stairway to Heaven (lock stairs), Loch Ness, Inverness, Pentland Firth
