    Sailing trip Oban – Ullapool: Possible itinerary

    As a sailing ship, we are largely dependent on the weather. The program below is a guideline and is determined by the influence of the current and the weather, especially the wind. This may mean that we skip ports or call at ports other than those described below. Flexibility is key to making the most of this adventurous trip!

    Day 1: Oban

    We start our journey in Oban, a cozy fishing village located  on a beautiful bay. The famous Oban Distillery is also located here and is well worth a visit. After you have settled in your cabin, you will meet the crew and the other guests during a delicious welcome dinner. After this, the captain tells about the ins and outs on board and the planning for the coming days is discussed.

    Day 2: Tobermory

    Today we sail from Oban to Tobermory. Picturesque Tobermory is the largest town on the Isle of Mull. It is a charming little town with brightly colored houses and a range of small businesses including a chocolate shop, bakery, candle maker, silversmith, art gallery and a potter. Tobermory is also known for its arts centres, a small theater company and some good pubs and eateries. And of course you can visit the famous Tobermory Distillery on our trip. There are a number of beautiful walks to be made around the natural bay.

    Day 3: Inverie, Knoydart

    Today we sail from Tobermory to Inverie, a town on Loch Nevis. Inverie is the largest town on the Knoydart Peninsula and can only be reached by boat or a two-day walk through the hills. From the pier where we moor, you have a magnificent view of Loch Nevis and many beautiful walks in the area. You can also have a drink in the most remote pub in the United Kingdom, ‘The Old Forge’. Along the way there is a good chance to spot dolphins and whales.

    Day 4: Plockton

    Today we continue our journey north. We sail through the “Kyle Rhea”, a strait between the mainland and the Isle of Skye known for strong tidal currents, towards Plockton. Plockton is a colorful village known as “The Jewel of the Highlands”. We will anchor in the sheltered bay and you will be brought ashore. Due to the many palm trees in Plockton, the village feels almost Caribbean in good weather.

    Day 5: Portree

    Today we sail to Skye, the largest island of the Inner Hebrides. The village of Portree is the largest town on the island and has a lot of nice shops and attractions. There is enough time to explore the island and for example the walk to the famous “Old man of Storr”.

    Day 6: Loch Inver

    Today we make a long sailing day to LochInver, a pretty fishing village just north of Ullapool. Lochinver is situated in a beautiful area, and is famous for the local “Pie shop” which attracts tourists from all over the world.

    Day 7: Ullapool

    On our last sailing day we sail from Lochinver to Ullapool. Ullapool is a relatively young town, founded in the late 18th century during the peak of herring fishing. The rugged landscape around Ullapool is known for its nature, wildlife and many bird species. Tonight we enjoy an extensive meal on board, it was a great and varied week where we have seen the enchanting Scotland in a unique way.
