Sail Scotland in 2024!
Join us on our Scottish Isles Sailing Adventure, departing Oban for 10 days and explore some of Scotland’s most iconic islands by yacht with Jim Dobie. We think this is the perfect combination of bucket list sailing and sightseeing.
Real, hands-on sailing including the potential for a long passage and possibility to visit the UNESCO heritage site at St Kilda and through the Pentland Firth.
We can even add some night sailing if the group wishes and weather allows as well as evenings, at anchor, allowing us to enjoy time ashore in the sleepy harbour villages along the coast.
Jim Dobie is a hugely experienced Skipper and RYA Yachtmaster Examiner meaning you can use the trip to brush up on sailing skills, with plenty of time for one to one mentoring, or simply enjoy being part of the voyage. With a maximum of six crew aboard our comfortable yacht, you will have space to relax and plenty of opportunity to adapt the itinerary to the groups wishes.

Scenic, Adventurous Sailing
Our trip starts (and ends) in Oban, Scotland. We plan to visit Tobermory, Skye (or Col) and St Kilda as well as Fingals cave. Fabulous sailing with incredible destinations - although this will depend on the experience of the crew, their wishes and the weather!
