This is the shortlist to send a friend: 3 sailing tours worth the money, each with its price, its traveller verdict and the one thing to know before you commit.
Cruise-ready Edinburgh shore tour with Royal Yacht Britannia, Holyroodhouse photos, and Edinburgh Castle, timed to return to port.
“We did not ever receive a response from the tour guide once we reached out due to the cruise port issue.”
Half day luxury catamaran from Edinburgh to Inchcolm Abbey, sailing under the Forth Bridges with coffee and a chance to steer.
“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 sailing from Oban on Yacht Chinwag with a Firth of Lorne cruise, lunch at anchor or ashore, dolphins, and a Kerrera whisky finish.
“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!”
Every kind of day out, from an hour under the Old Town to a week in the islands.
