Skippered charters are an ideal way for the novice sailor to experience Scotland's world-class maritime environment
Bareboat charters
Self-sail bareboat charters let you explore and enjoy Scotland's uncrowded seas and islands at your own pace and to suit your own itinerary. After a day’s great sailing along magnificent coastlines, you have the freedom to spend your evenings enjoying the seclusion of a quiet anchorage or to come ashore and enjoy some of our delicious local produce in a restaurant, pub or hotel. Clear waters, long summer evenings and a peaceful ambience guarantee a magical and truly memorable experience.
Cruising in Scottish waters
Cruising in Scotland is not all tough, demanding sailing and many areas are ideal for the relative beginner. Pilotage is straight-forward, most tides are no stronger than in, say, the Solent, there is little shipping and fog is rare.
Published information about cruising in Scottish waters is plentiful which makes forward planning and day-to-day pilotage straightforward. Admiralty and Imray charts cover Scotland in great detail and either Clyde Cruising Club Sailing Directions or Imray's Yachtsman's Pilot Series will provide complete and detailed information on virtually every anchorage, harbour and stretch of water.
Clyde Cruising Club also publish Cruising Scotland, a comprehensive illustrated guide to cruising on Scotland’s west coast. It's the ideal preparation for and companion to a cruise.
Skippered charters
If you're new to sailing but want to experience Scotland's world-class maritime environment at first hand or even if you're an experienced sailor but prefer to let someone else take the strain and do the organising, navigating and sailing, then why not charter a skippered vessel?
You'll have more time to relax, more time to enjoy stunning Scottish coastal scenery and spot wildlife along the way.
