Set sail from Oban Marina aboard a private yacht, gliding past the Inner Hebrides with a skipper-guided narrative and a gourmet lunch on the water. This is the definitive way to feel the soul of the Scottish coast.
What to expect
Your skipper collects you at Oban Marina and guides the yacht out past the Isle of Kerrera and toward the Sound of Mull. Seals bask on rocky outcrops as golden eagles occasionally circle the hillsides above. A freshly prepared Scottish lunch — think smoked salmon, local cheeses, and crusty bread — is served on deck as the islands drift by. You return to harbour relaxed, salt-aired, and utterly immersed in the West Highland seascape.
Good to know
Book the private charter well in advance as availability is limited in summer. The marina is a short 5-minute walk from the main pier. Confirm your all-aboard time and allow a 30-minute buffer; the skipper is experienced working with cruise schedules. Sailing is weather-dependent — the operator will advise on alternatives.
