Fair Isle Cruise
Join us on this three-day island adventure to Fair Isle, taking in the full south end of Shetland as we depart from Scalloway and return to Lerwick. 13 to 15 June 2025
Boarding at 10am, your adventure will begin with a comprehensive safety briefing including how to work the lines on deck and getting hands-on with the sailing as you head out on a discovery of beautiful bays and quiet coastlines only seen from the sea.
As with all sea voyages, the exact route and timings will be dependent on the weather and the decision of the skipper. A sail down the south west coast of Shetland will take you past St Ninians Isle and Sumburgh Head on route to Fair Isle where the boat will berth or anchor overnight.
The return journey will take the south east coast route, past Mousa on the way to Lerwick.
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. For more details of what to expect on board please refer to our Welcome Aboard leaflet.
