Clyde Yacht Charters operates out of Largs Yacht Haven on the west coast of mainland Scotland, in the heart of the Firth of Clyde. Stretching from the tip of the Kintyre peninsula in the south to Loch Long and the Gare Loch in the north, and encompassing the islands of Arran, Bute and Cumbrae, the Clyde offers some of the best sailing grounds in Scotland. If you’ve sailed in the Firth of Clyde area previously and want to explore further afield, from our base at Largs, in less than 24 hrs you can sail around the Mull of Kintyre and access the amazing Inner and Outer Hebrides, perhaps even take a trip out to St Kilda!
As well as amazing sailing, the Clyde is home to much fascinating wildlife including seals, a huge range of seabirds, the occasional whale, basking sharks and porpoises. We have also had several experiences of dolphins playing in the bow wave – incredible! There is no shortage of dining opportunities and you will find a huge range of hotels and restaurants, many with visitor moorings, offering award-winning dining featuring the freshest possible seafood.
Clyde Yacht Charters was established in 2021 by three friends and keen sailors with many years (decades!) of sailing experience, particularly in the Clyde and the west coast of Scotland. We have been involved in the chartering business for several years. The yachts we charter belong to us and we have enjoyed sailing them as friends and with our families for several seasons. We pride ourselves on knowing our boats inside out, and demand high standards of comfort and maintenance – we expect no less for our charterers than we do for ourselves. Each boat has an ongoing annual programme of maintenance and upgrades. All our boats are coded to MCA Cat 2. We offer skippered or bareboat charters. We would be happy to discuss any issues, offer advice on the Clyde sailing grounds – from planning your trip to destinations, anchorages, facilities and restaurants.
