FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

A Beautiful Sunset

Here are some of our most frequent enquiries

Q How active do I have to be?

A This is entirely up to you.  You can take part in onshore activities or stay onboard and relax. Our cruises are suitable for a very wide range of fitness and mobility. And if you have an interest in, for example, photography, walking or birdwatching, it is possible to make arrangements for you to suit yourself. 

Q Is the cruise suitable for people taking a single booking

A Without doubt, single travellers enjoy a holiday with us and being part of the group.  We reserve two of our double cabins for single travellers at no supplement on every cruise.  Also if there is a single traveller as part of a larger group, they will get a double cabin at no additional supplement, even if the two single allocations have been taken up, as long as there is availability
Q Are children allowed on board

A Children aged under 12 are not allowed on board for the comfort of other guests.  However, on a whole boat group charter, children can be accommodated

Q Are pets allowed on board

A Again, for the comfort of other guests, pets are not allowed on board, but can be accommodated on a whole boat group charter

Q Will I get seasick?

A Our cruising area is within sheltered sea lochs and the water tends to be calm.  The vessels are very stable. If we do get bad weather, we head for a sheltered mooring.  People who are normally seasick say they feel better on our cruises

Q How spacious are the cabins and beds?

A Our vessels are converted traditional boats, therefore space is more restricted than in a hotel, but superior for a boat of this size.  All cabins can be either double or twin beds.  The bed is king size in width, but normal in length - the bed is divided in two to make the twin beds.

Q Are midgies are problem?
Midgies tend to be around in July and August on the West Coast but we never get them on board as they are unable to cross water.  So this is one way to enjoy the amazing scenery without the irritation of midgies.  Midgies will also not be found in coastal areas on land when there is a bit of a breeze.
Q Are their fishing rods on board? Yes there are three boat rods and tackle on board and you are welcome to bring your own.  There is also a lobster creel on each boat.
Q Are there binoculars on board? Yes, but they are often in demand, so if possible, bring your own
