Sailing in the archipelago of the Scottish west coast

"Hav bred ey", islands at the edge of the sea, is what the Vikings called the storm-tossed Hebrides, which once belonged to their empire. Only just under 80 of the more than 500 Hebridean islands are populated, and that rather sparsely. On this trip, we will explore the southern part of the archipelago around the islands of Mull, Jura, Islay, Bute and the Isle of Arran. This sailing area is a source of joy for all Scotland lovers and provides incomparable vacation memories. During the day we will explore this fascinating water landscape by ship, in the afternoons and evenings there will be time for shore excursions or quiet moments at anchor in sheltered bays.
