day 1 - Boarding, North Pier, Oban, Scotland
You'll arrive in the evening to be greeted by your professional skipper. Visit the yacht, briefing on life and safety on board. You'll cast off the next morning after a 1st night on board.
Sailing from Scotland to the Hebrides
Here are the stops you won't want to miss:
- Isle of Mull, where we start with Tobermory, a small but very pleasant tourist town on the Isle of Mull. It's the gateway to the wilder part of Scotland, towards Eigg, Rum and beautiful Canna.
- Isle of Skye, the largest of the Inner Hebrides, here we discover the waterfalls to the south of Loch Scavaig anchorage, offering an end-of-the-world atmosphere! We then round Skye to Kyle of Lochalsh on the east side of the island. Further north, we reach the town of Portree, capital of this beautiful island.
- Lewis and Harris, A new departure for the islands of Lewis and Harris, with a stopover in one of these surprising anchorages, between pebbles and heather. Don't look for trees - they don't stand a chance in this region!
- Stornoway, a historic town on the Isle of Lewis and Harris, very baroque with a particularly sheltered harbour. A must on our expedition.
Last day - Disembarkation, port of Stornoway, Isle of Lewis
Disembarkation scheduled for 6 p.m. at Stornoway harbor, on the Isle of Lewis, where you can spend a final night aboard the yacht, disembarking at 10 a.m. the next day at the latest. Say good-bye to your skipper and leave with a rested mind after 10 days in the wilderness!
Depending on the departure date, the program can be carried out in the opposite direction, please refer to the program summary.
Information: To leave Stornoway, take a flight to Glasgow. Alternatively, take the ferry across the Minch to Ullapool. From there, take 2 days for a leisurely trip down the whole of Scotland - the train is truly magical on this route.
