About
Sea to Peak Expeditions offers adventure sailing predominantly to less travelled and more ‘off the beaten track’ harbours and locations around the UK and Northern Europe. Our adventures are open to small groups or individuals, and clients are encouraged to take a role in crewing the boat. We have expeditions for all levels of experience and professional help and tuition will always be on hand from Richard, a highly experienced RYA instructor/ commercial Yachtmaster and Mountain Leader, who is skipper and owner of Sea to Peak Expeditions.
Our Scotland trips
We offer a wide range of trips of varying lengths and type throughout Scotland, from transits of the Caledonian canal to adventures exploring the wild corners of the Western Isles. Many of our UK sailing expeditions are focused around the Scottish West Coast where the use of a yacht, and with Richard being a Mountain Leader, gives opportunities to access hill walking in some of the more remote and inaccessible areas that are otherwise very difficult for most to visit.
The boat
Kimochi is a Feeling 39 which is built to the EU RCD (Recreational Craft Directive) class A (Ocean) standard and is licenced by the MCA for category 2 commercial use with up to 8 persons (although a maximum of 4 clients are aboard when on expeditions). As well as being a very capable offshore sailing yacht she has a centreboard, enabling her to reduce her draught from 2.2m to 0.8m, allowing entry into some of the more interesting and ‘off the beaten track’ adventure sailing locations which are off limits to most commercial boats her size.
Kimochi is a 12m premium performance cruising yacht with an extremely high spec and in excellent condition throughout. She has many features such as modern Raymarine electronics and MFD’s, MiFi, heating, hot shower, a large solar arch as well nice little luxuries like her cockpit tent for sitting out in cooler UK sailing climes. We have also recently purchased a new AB RIB tender enabling us to quickly and safely transfer crew to and from Kimochi.
