125th Anniversary Half Day Sails
Join in our 125th anniversary celebrations with a hands-on sail aboard our traditional wooden fishing boat. Leaving and returning to Lerwick, our skipper will pick the route on the day, making the most of the weather. May 3 - 09:30 and 14:30
Swan reaches an incredible milestone of 125 years since her original launch on Saturday 3rd May. Join in our anniversary celebrations and be part of our ongoing history.
Boarding the Swan at 9.30am or 2.30pm, your trip will begin with a comprehensive safety briefing including how to work the lines on deck and set the sails. We will then put this into practice, enjoying getting hands-on with the sailing as you explore the east side of Shetland’s coast.
A voyage on Swan is very much a hands-on experience - you are part of her crew, and work as a team to make your voyage happen. All tasks are shared and everyone joins in, from the most to the least experienced.
With no fixed itinerary, our skipper will assess the conditions on the day to make best use of the weather, wind, and our incredible wildlife and scenery.
Included in voyage

There are basic waterproofs onboard, however you may feel more comfortable in your own wet weather gear. Please ensure you wear sensible footwear, with good grips, and warm clothing, and don't forget your camera.
