Z08-23: “Wandering the Inner Hebrides”

The ‘Inner Hebrides’ are the islands in the north-west of Scotland, a beautiful cruising area and and sheltered from the ocean swell, with many islands and beautiful Lochs (inlets). The first day we sail a short distance and most likely anchor in Loch Duich, opposite the famous ‘Eilean Donan Castle’ which we can visit by dinghy. A charming and attractively decorated castle in a wonderful location. The next day (or evening, depending on the tide) we will sail through a tidal gate, the Kyle Rhea, to Loch Hourn, which is one of the most beautiful Lochs in Scotland, where we will anchor. We then sail to Mallaig, a nice little harbour with a superb bakery. Malliag is also the terminus of the Steam Train used in the Harry Potter films.

The next day, depending on the wind, we will anchor at Scotland’s most spectacular anchorage and take a short but stunning walk, with a bit of luck we will see deer from the boat. We then sail on to another stunning anchorage in a narrow and shallow Loch on the Mainland, another wonderful sailing trip. We will also visit the picturesque and cosy little harbour of Tobermory (with whisky distillery next to the harbour). Known for its colourful cottages with quaint shops (and pub). The last day we sail through the ‘Sound of Mull’ and we will end this sailing voyage in lively Oban, where we will have a nice dinner to round off the sailing trip.

The daily distances are between 10 and 25 miles.
The above schedule is subject to weather, wind and tide.

Sailing holiday Prices 

The ‘board price’ of the voyage is the rent for ship and crew, which must be paid up front.

The ‘board cash’ is the amount per person for the food and drink on board (including crew), as well as fuel, water, shore, port fees and taxes, but excluding trips, food and drinks ashore. This amount must be paid upon embarkation in cash to the skipper (in the appropriate currency). What remains after the sailing holiday, will be refunded.

With less than 3 participants, the ‘board cash’ is usually not sufficient. In that case, there will be a surcharge of up to € 50 per person.
