Sailing Adventure to Hebrides and Small Isles with Go West Sailing

Hebrides and Small Isles

Join us on Perseus for cruising the Hebrides this summer on 21st to 28th of July starting and finishing in Oban. We will visit the Isle of Mull, the small Isles (Canna and/or Rum), Skye and possibly Uist or Harris. Escape the crowds and explore exceptional and pristine coast lines and anchorages. These waters are exceptional for spotting wildlife such as dolphins and occasionally whales. A highlight will be to anchor in Loch Harport on Skye to visit the famous Talisker distillery.

Journey:

You will stay on a comfortable Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 42.2. Sailing experience is not required since the skipper is also an RYA Yachtmaster Instructor. This trip is great for all levels of sailing ability.

Canna with it's beautiful black sand beaches, and little thriving community of around 35, quaint old churches, romantic scenery and excellent Café/restaurant overlooking the bay.

Rum has a very moving history, people lived there for thousands of years until they were evicted in clearances in 1830s. Since 2010 the island is run by the community trust and is thriving it boasts an abundance of wild life with semi wild horses and hundreds of dear you are most likely to see wandering through the village in the bay where we will anchor looking at famous Bullochs castle. Th scenery is in contrast with Canna very mountainous and we may go for a hike. The local community is welcoming and you maybe in for treat to experience the party in their always open community house.

Skye, Loch Harport has Talisker distillery and after tour and dram or two we can climb nearby hill covered with lush vegetation to arguably one of the best sea food places on the Hebrides, which is run by locals, supplied by local fisherman and serves freshly made fish, lobster and other treats.
