Private Boat Charter

Private boat charters aboard our 12m, fast and comfortable cabin RIB. A custom designed boat for exploring the Hebrides and the conditions of the Atlantic, we can offer a range of wildlife and watersport activities for private groups and media.

Outside of our main basking shark season during the spring and autumn we can offer private boat charters from Oban and around the Clyde and Inner Hebrides. Commercial, wildlife, passenger transfers, whisky and castle tours, activities & more!

Check out some of the ideas for tours on our website here.

Our boat is a 630hp twin v8 cabin Redbay, custom built for Atlantic exploration. She was a bespoke design and delivered to us in summer 2018! She has cabin seating for 8 passengers, shelter deck for 4 and an extended rear deck for wildlife viewing!
