Cruising area
Departing from Oban, cruise the Sound of Mull and then on to the Point of Ardnamurchan. Pass the islands of Rum, Eigg and Muck to approach the island of Skye from the Sound of Sleat with the dramatic outline of the Cuillin Mountain Range as a backdrop. The deeply indented coastline, topped with rugged mountain ranges make Skye the most magical and beautiful place to visit from the sea. Pass Loch Hourn on the way to Kylerhea and then on to Loch Alsh, with a spectacular view of the Skye Bridge as you head for the bustling town of Broadford. There are many options for cruising and shore stops; the actual itinerary will be at the discretion of the Skipper taking into account guests wishes and the prevailing weather conditions. Typical highlights of this cruise are listed below.
Typical Stopovers and Anchorages:
• Remote and beautiful Sanna Bay on Ardnamurchan for a stroll along the most incredible stretch of pristine white sandy beach
• Loch na Ceall at Arisaig for a breathtaking west coast sunset as it disappears dramatically behind the horizons of Rum and Skye
• The Clan Donald Centre on the Sleat Peninsula on Skye; enjoy a leisurely walk around beautiful Armadale Gardens
• The Otter Haven at Kylerhea on Skye for spectacular views of the Kylerhea narrows and to see otters, seals, birds and other wildlife
