MARINE: skippered  yacht charters

The enchanting waters of the West coast of Scotland is arguably one of the finest cruising areas in the world with its myriad of beautiful anchorages, beaches, harbours and islands. The opportunities to see and experience the abundant marine wildlife are endless with sightings of Dolphins, Sharks, Seals, Whales, Porpoises, Otters and sea birds from the Tern to the magnificent Sea Eagle.

We offer the opportunity of sailing in these waters via our skippered  yacht charters on yacht Bluebird from April to October from ports and marinas between the Clyde and Northern Skye.

Laurie our skipper has a wealth of sailing experience and knowledge of the coastal waters of the West Coast including the Western islands from St Kilda to Arran on the Clyde estuary having cruised and raced yachts here for over 40 years. He is a qualified RYA yacht master skipper, (commercially endorsed).

The experience of sailing on yacht Bluebird is enhanced by the restaurant quality cuisine which is provided on board our beautiful yacht.
