Cruise along in splendid luxury taking in the majestic views of Argyll and her Isles, including the Outer Hebrides. Bathe in the splendid beauty of Scotland’s wildlife, Europe's last great frontier.

The size and quality of finish of this superyacht gives it a comfortable feeling but allows you to have time on your own as there are so many areas to escape to during the cruise.
As we cruise to stunning locations like Skye and Barra, you can relax in our newly finished Whisky viewing room, or read in the library. Our large saloon area allows you to mix with your fellow cruise guests. We also have a swim deck, back dining deck and a top sun deck fully railed with built in sun beds and tables, for when you want to lie back and forget about the world.
