Despite its beauty, the Highlands and Islands is one of the least affluent regions of Scotland.
By bringing the benefits of tourism to this area and using local services and produce, we help to support local businesses, create employment and contribute to the overall sustainable development of the region.
By its very nature, sailing is a very sustainable mode of travel. Clients are encouraged to use the train to travel to Oban (the trip start and finish times are set to coincide with the arrival and departure of the Glasgow train), so no cars need to be used on these environmentally friendly maritime adventures.
All of our trips start and finish at or close to railway stations, as this makes it much easier for our clients to travel to the Highlands by rail. We encourage travel by train or bus in all of our joining instructions that we send to clients, and also have a section on our website which includes links to train timetables and booking services to make it easier for clients to choose to travel by rail.
We invite every traveller who books a holiday via us to send in a review. Because we don't run the holidays they're completely independent and unedited... remember to read between the lines though, as two people on the same holiday can have different views!
