Z09: Island hopping: Hebrides

The first day will sail south, along the impressive cliffs of the islands Shiant, where we possibly anchor, depending on the weather. The next day we go to Rona, a beautiful island with a sheltered anchorage, which former Vikings and smugglers loved to use. We will stay here one day for a nice walk. Then we will sail further to Portree on the isle of Skye where we remain a day to make a walk (4 hours) to the impressive Storr, where we have a beautiful view over the Isle of Sky, sea and surrounding islands. Alternatively, it is also possible to make a nice bus tour.

We will also anchor in the beautiful Loch Duich opposite of the famous Eilean Donan Castle which we can visit with the dinghy. A nice and attractively decorated castle in a lovely spot. The next day (or evening, depending on the tide) we will sail through the notorious rapid “Kyle Rhea”. We end this sailing holiday in Mallaig. An authentic fishing port with a brand new bakery and modern facilities. The daily sailing distances are between 19 and 25 miles.

sailing holiday Prices 

The ‘board price’ of the voyage is the rent for ship and crew, which must be paid up front.

The ‘board cash’ is the amount per person for the food and drink on board (including crew), as well as fuel, water, shore, port fees and taxes, but excluding trips, food and drinks ashore. This amount must be paid upon embarkation in cash to the skipper (in the appropriate currency). What remains after the sailing holiday, will be refunded.

With less than 3 participants, the ‘board cash’ is usually not sufficient. In that case, there will be a surcharge of up to € 50 per person.
