This unique charter yacht is available for newly qualified Day Skippers looking to consolidate their skills on a small but seaworthy yacht. There must be one other person on board with a Competent Crew certificate, and the cruising area is restricted to the sheltered waters of Loch Leven, Loch Linnhe, the Sound of Mull and the Oban area. This gives you a cruising range from Fort William to Tobermory, with the perfect combination of sheltered water, safe harbours and spectacular scenery
For the more experienced sailor with an RYA Coastal Skipper course completion certificate the whole West Coast including the Outer Hebrides is accessible on a two week charter.
Sail up the sheltered but spectacular Sound of Mull to Tobermory, then continue the theme of sheltered water and high hills with an exploration of the fastnesses of Loch Sunart.
Or gird your loins, get a decent forecast and brave the open waters to the North as you round the great peninsula of Ardnamurchan, most Westerly point of the Scottish mainland. Ahead of you lies one of the greatest cruising grounds in the world. Sail on to the Small Isles and the spectacular Isle of Skye. Returning round Ardnamurchan your yacht is entitled by tradition to wear a sprig of heather in her bowsprit.
If you head South from Oban you have sheltered sailing to Crinan and on down the Sound of Jura to Craighouse or the big island of Islay with its many malt whisky distrilleries and its new marina at Port Ellen. Going North again hitch a tidal lift up the Sound of Islay and you can head for remote Colonsay before continuing North for Oban or if time permits across to sunny Tiree, rocky Coll and historic Iona before heading home down the Sound of Mull.
This delightful wooden pocket cruiser is available for charter by a minimum of two and a maximum of four people. The minimum charter period is one week, with reduced rates for a charter period of two weeks or more. She is comfortable with two or three adults on board or perhaps a family of four. It is possible for four adults to charter her, but living conditions would bevery cosy indeed!
