Orkney Public Day Trip
Join us for a day’s sailing from the scenic town of Stromness on Orkney’s west coast. Weather allowing, we will visit Scapa Flow, Orkneys natural harbour and a National Scenic Area during the trip.
Boarding in Stromness on Sunday 7 June at 09:30
Disembarking in Stromness on Sunday 7 June at 17:00
You will join Swan in Stromness, Orkney’s second largest town. After a safety briefing, cast the lines and head out for a day of sailing you will never forget, as part of the crew on a historic traditional herring drifter.
Whilst taking in the spectacular views and wildlife the area has to offer, you and your crew mates will take an active part onboard, raising the sails, hauling out the bowsprit, taking a turn on the helm and keeping lookout. No previous experience is required as you will be under the instruction of our experienced crew at all times.
As this is a sailing voyage, the exact route followed will be decided by our expert skipper to suit the conditions on the day, to give you the best sail possible whilst taking in Orkney’s many highlights.
Swan will depart Stromness, after the safety briefing, around 10am and return around 4.30pm, with disembarkation around 17:00 after making the boat secure.
For more details of what to expect on board please refer to our Welcome Aboard Leaflet.
