Z06-23: Passage from the Faroe islands to the Outer Hebrides (325 mijl)

Depending on the weather, we will sail the first day to one of the southern islands of the Faroe Islands. In this way, everyone can get used to the ship and the sea. Then we have a distance of 200 miles to go to Scottish waters. With good weather conditions, this will be  little more than one and a half day non-stop, but it can also be more. The destination is determined by the weather, Kinlochbervie on the Scottish mainland, or perhaps an anchorage on the west side of Lewis or Harris.

With very good weather we could even sail to St. Kilda. A particularly beautiful island in the middle of the ocean, uninhabited and on many people’s bucket-list. Conveniently, the sun almost does not go down so far north, which means we can benefit from the daylight for a long time. If the weather cooperates, we have a few days to explore the Outer Hebrides. We will end this sailing holiday in Stornoway, where we end the trip in a nice restaurant and a cozy pub.

The above schedule is subject to weather, wind and tide. The daily sailing distances are between 40 and 230 miles.

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.
