Scotland’s Inner Hebrides Explorer

Brought to you by a Scottish based company on a yacht that calls Scotland home, the Inner Hebrides holds a special kind of mystique. Small, peaceful islands, unexpected beaches, surprising stories of history and, well, some great areas to sail in!

Our Inner Hebrides explorer operates from the west coast town of Oban. With our mission to head out west to the Inner Hebrides locked in you can expect to enjoy some familiarisation onboard as we cruise west.

With the skipper and mate keeping an eye on the weather and planning the best route other crew members will help in making your time onboard as enjoyable as we can. Heading out into the Inner Hebrides, whether we venture north or south there are some great choices for stops where you can take a trip ashore for an evening walk, enjoy some peaceful time at anchor or visit some incredible locations.

With our exact itinerary weather dependant daily briefings from the skipper will ensure that you are kept updated with the plans and options each day. With stops expected each night this trip is a true explorer.

With sandy beaches, isolated villages, beautiful islands all within range there truly is something for everyone on this trip. Our exploring will be non stop from day one.

Returning back to the west coast port of Oban for disembarkation there may even be time for a whistle stop tour of Oban.

Travel:

Oban is well served with rail and road access and also has a small airport (mainly serving private planes and the island communities). We think though, that the train journey from Glasgow is well worth considering as it takes in some of Scotland’s most amazing scenery as it snakes it’s way through Scottish Lochs and mountains. Car Parking is also available to book online, in advance, for various car parks in the Oban area. You can offload at the pontoons car park before parking your vehicle . Oban is also served by EV charge points from a number of different vendors.
