11-17th September 7-Day Sailing Trip – Sail Around the Isle of Skye

We cater for both meat-eating and vegetarian diets. For other dietary needs, such as vegan or gluten-free options, please check with us before booking.

If you have food allergies, be sure to include these on your medical form. We’ll do our best to accommodate food preferences, but please understand that space on board is limited.

While we can prepare nut-free or gluten-free meals, the boat itself is not a nut-free or gluten-free zone.

Seasickness can occur, especially on the first day or in rough conditions. If you start to feel unwell, inform a crew member so we can assist you, particularly if you are taking medication.

Steering the boat often helps, as it allows your eyes and inner ear to sync, similar to how driving a car prevents motion sickness. For most people, the sensation passes within a few hours, aided by a hot drink, a ginger biscuit, and some rest.

We’ll provide you with a kit list once you’ve booked. Essential items include layers, hats, and waterproof footwear with good grip. Beach landings may require wellies or waterproof shoes.

High-quality sailing waterproofs are not necessary; a standard waterproof jacket and trousers will suffice.

Please pack your items in soft, foldable bags, as storage space is limited and cannot accommodate hard cases. All safety equipment, including lifejackets and safety lines, is provided.

We strongly recommend taking out holiday insurance that covers all eventualities, including sailing.

Our holidays are fully catered, so you’re not required to cook unless you’d like to try your hand at it. Cooking onboard can be a unique experience, especially at sea, and some guests enjoy participating.

The skipper and crew prepare all meals, but you’re welcome to join in if you wish. Otherwise, just relax and take in the views with a glass of wine.

Please note, we do operate a rota for washing up, so everyone is expected to pitch in as part of the team experience.

The boat accommodates up to 6 guests, along with 1 skipper and 1 crew member.

There is no upper age limit. We simply ask that you consider your physical capabilities. Agility tends to be more important than physical strength.

All participants under 18 must be accompanied by an adult.

Yes, we do our best to ensure that couples can share a cabin whenever possible.

Certainly! We’re happy to offer informal training and the opportunity to practice everything from chart work and calculations to advanced sailing techniques. Our qualified skipper is always available to provide guidance and instruction.

Although the trip is not a formal course, we encourage you to enhance or refresh your skills. Your miles and experiences can be recorded in your logbook, and our skipper can sign it for you.

No experience is necessary! We welcome guests of all skill levels, from complete beginners to seasoned sailors. Our fully-qualified skipper is also a sailing instructor who enjoys teaching and sharing knowledge. Many guests like to get involved in the sailing activities, learning in a relaxed and informal environment without the pressure of a formal course.

However, if you prefer to relax, you’re welcome to simply sit back and enjoy the scenery while the fully crewed boat handles everything.
