5 Night West Coast Cruise

Winter, Spring & Autumn in Scotland can be every bit as breath-taking as the summer months. Cruise the sheltered waters of the west coast with our 5 Night West Coast Cruise.

Explore the West Coast of Scotland onboard our expertly converted wooden-hulled fishing trawler, Nova Spero.

Out of Season in Scotland is magical with sleepy seals napping on the shores whilst otters dive in and out of the sea kelp on the hunt for tasty meal. Above, the sea eagles and gulls glide on the thermals and the sunrises and sunsets reflect their fire and dazzle on the deep sea lochs. Further out to sea the dolphins play and the minke whales glide through the water.  

You are surrounded by breath-taking scenery steeped in history with a wealth of culture to explore and soak up.

Seafood is also at its best in the colder months and we're looking forward to feasting on langoustines, lobster and freshly caught fish and crab amongst other locally sourced produce from estates and larders as we sail along.

Sounds idyllic? In 2022 we have a choice of 5 night cruises departing from Corpach just outside of Fort William. These cruises will explore the sheltered waters around Loch Linnhe & Glencoe, Oban & Mull, Kilchoan & Ardnamurchan up to Kyle of Lochalsh & The Skye Bridge and to Torridon if time allows making stops at points of interest like distilleries, castles and popular walks. 

Our cruises include full board in a twin or bunk cabin with breakfast, lunch and dinner provided. 

We have various departure dates available in February, April, October, November & December 2022 for this cruise itinerary.
