Scotland · SAILING
This is the shortlist to send a friend: 4 sailing tours worth the money, each with its price, its traveller verdict and the one thing to know before you commit.
See Edinburgh Castle, Holyroodhouse, and Royal Yacht Britannia on a port pickup tour, with expert guiding and useful cruise-day timing advice.
“Paid Viator Bus tour very good Could not see the queens yacht or the fort They said sold out Enjoyed the bus ride but was disappointed”
Sail beneath Edinburgh’s Forth Bridges to Inchcolm Abbey on a small-group catamaran trip with helm time, tea, coffee, and skyline views.
“When I checked the weather for Edinburgh and the Firth of Forth I must confess I was concerned. However, the skipper and his crew were capable and confident under reefed sails - even to allow myself and another aspiring sailor opportunities at the helm. A lovely day on the water with all kinds of weather. For those of you who enjoy sailing - this is a “don’t miss” opportunity.”
Sail beneath Edinburgh’s Forth Rail Bridge, stop at Inchkeith for lunch, and enjoy an intimate eight-hour cruise with a crew of 10.
“Colin and the crew were awesome and very personable! I loved being allowed to sail the boat for a few minutes.”
Sail from Oban with lunch, local seafood, wildlife, hands-on sailing, and a dram of whisky aboard Yacht Chinwag.
“Bucket list item checked off. Absolutely an amazing experience. Raymond and Laura were so welcoming when the brought us aboard “Chin Wag”. Chin Wag is a beautiful boat. We got to help crew her and the sites were amazing. The food incredible. All I need now is to buy my own sail boat. Thanks so much for this experience.”
Loch, castle, cask and close. Every kind of Scottish day, and the best of each.
