Scotland · SAILING
Good sailing trips fill up weeks ahead; the great ones go first. Below: the 3 to book early, what each includes and how they differ.
Cruise-day Edinburgh tour with Royal Yacht Britannia, Holyroodhouse photo stop, and Edinburgh Castle, plus guided coach pickup and narration.
“We have been using Tour Services for over 30 years, this was the worst experience we’ve ever experienced.”
Half-day catamaran sailing from Edinburgh to Inchcolm Island, past the Forth Bridges. Coffee, shared helm, 12th-century abbey 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.”
Private 6-hour sailing from Oban on Yacht Chinwag, with a safety briefing, wildlife spotting, and a choice of lunch at anchor.
“We love Scotland, having been first attracted by the Coos, but then wonderful, genuine and friendly people. Laura and Raymond McIntosh brought that to the next level. Both are talented sailors and Laura a particularly talented chef. The day was a complete joy, sailing the waters around Oban and feasting like royalty. If they have an open date, book it!”
