We invite you to join us at Largs Yacht Haven for this epic voyage taking in a number of Whisky Distilleries on the West Coast where you will get a chance to visit the distilleries and taste the blended whiskies.
We will meet at midday on Saturday, and you will be allocated your berth and briefed on the safety equipment on board your yacht which will be your home for the next seven days.
When you're settled in we will set sail towards the beautiful Isle of Arran where we will spend the night. We will either eat on board or go ashore to the Pierhead Tavern for a tasty supper, where we can also expect live music.
On Sunday we will sail south down the coast of Arran, past Pladda and West to Campbeltown. The views of the mountains of Arran are quite stunning.
There is a lovely Distillery at Campbeltown that was built be in 1828. Springburn Distillery still use traditional methods of producing the whisky and we will visit on Monday and take a guided tour. For those who wish, you may like to taste the malt whiskies on offer.
On Tuesday we will head South from Campbeltown and sail round the Mull of Kintyre. Our destination is Port Ellen on Islay. It's a lovely small town which I am sure you will enjoy. We have an excellent choice of Distilleries to visit. On Wednesday you can either visit the Distilleries at Laphroaig, Lagavulin or Ardbeg which are close to Port Ellen or alternatively, you can catch the bus across the island and visit the two rather more remote distilleries
Bowmore & Caol Ila at Port Askaig.
On Thursday we will sail up to Jura and take a mooring in Craighouse Bay.
This will be the last of our distillery visits before we depart for Oban.
On Friday. It's a lovely sail up to Oban with some beautiful wild scenery. There is a very good chance of seeing porpoises and the sight of Gannets crash diving for fish is spectacular.
Your last night will be spent at the Town Pontoons Oban It is just a short walk to lots of great restaurants and pubs.
