Guide to Scotland

The perfect place to adventure and relax, there is a mythical quality enriched by Scotland’s striking west coast, beautiful cities, lochs and castles. Scotland’s charm is also in its picturesque rolling landscape and centuries of history, guests have the opportunity to take a scenic walk through the fascinating hills or feast their eyes on the incredible vistas from their very own superyacht rental. In the Hebrides you will find towering highland mountain scenes as well as pristine villages around protected harbors which is perfect for any charter vacation.

Famously an incredibly tranquil place to sail, Scotland is also fantastic for adventure and wildlife enthusiasts. Along the dramatic coastline, the area is teeming with wildlife in the water from porpoises, seals, dolphins and, if you're lucky, you may even catch a glimpse of orca and minke whales. On land, you will find wild stags roaming through the wilderness as well as an abundance of wild birds from the Scottish crossbill and puffins to sea eagles circling overhead. 

A popular yacht charter base is the beautiful and unique Oban, the gateway town of the Hebrides. From here, guests can head around the northern tip of Mull where you can explore the entirely volcanic island of Stiffa which has been completely uninhabited since the 17th century. From sea caves to century old Abbeys, the north of Scotland has plenty of interesting sites to keep all guests on a luxury yacht charter entertained. 

Sailing South you will find the isle of Jura where guests can enjoy more untouched scenery and glacial beaches, most of which are inaccessible except by boat. Popular activities here include heli-fishing on the numerous hill lochs, salmon fishing and deer-stalking which can all be completed just a stone’s throw from your yacht. 

Scotland also boasts incredible golf courses and whisky tours for any connoisseurs who would like to experience how it all began. Three of the world’s iconic whisky names are found on the Scottish isle of Islay: Ardbeg, Lagavulin and Laphroig and guests can enjoy private tours and tastings at all three. Another popular activity visitors can embark on during their vacation is to play golf at the renowned Machrie. As one of Scotland’s most highly acclaimed courses offering 18-hole championship links for golfers of all abilities and ages to enjoy.
