Our varied cruises all share one common aim – to show you North West Scotland’s natural environment and a sample of all that it has to offer. By “natural environment” we mean landscapes such as hills and beaches, plants, trees, flowers and grasses; birds ranging from puffins and gannets to eagles and petrels; cetaceans (whales, dolphins and porpoise); other marine mammals such as basking sharks and seals; mammals such as otter and deer and, last but not least, natural phenomena such as rainbows and beautiful sunsets. In a word our cruises remain “flexible” to encompass the vagaries of the weather and the interests of those onboard. We like to ask guests where they might like to go and what they hope to see and, if possible, we’ll weave these requests into the cruise. Some cruises have destination-specific itineraries, some do not.

About our skippers and naturalist guides
Owner and skipper Mark has been involved with boats for over 30 years and is RYA qualified. His early career and training was spent in the military. Since skippering his first charter boat in 1995 Mark has sailed over 100,000 sea miles, mainly amongst the Hebrides, but also to the Faroes, Iceland and New Zealand. If quizzed he can’t even remember the exact number of times he has made it to St Kilda! A qualified diver, Mark is happy, whenever possible, to “hop over the side” and augment the ship’s supplies with fresh scallops!
Having lived and worked in the Hebrides for over 20 years, Mark is passionate about the need to protect and conserve this unique enviroment and its wildlife.
