Erraid Low Tide (click on the image for a larger version - please be patient while the image loads)

Where cruises have 5 spaces there are no bookings i.e. the whole boat can be chartered

Cruises normally start at 14.00 on the first day and finish at 11.00 on the last

** = you will be assisting as delivery crew, rather than as paying guests, for the ocean passage

Cruise Numbers showing a suffix “S” will be skippered by Steve Scott (Chief Instructor) – see “Skipper” page

Another Crowded Anchorage (click on the image for a larger version - please be patient while the image loads)Your cruise price includes all meals prepared on board and includes a couple of glasses of wine with the three course evening meals. The exception will be cruises starting and finishing in the Faroes or Norway, where you are welcome to provide your own alcoholic drinks.

Meals on board have been widely praised by previous guests and feature freshly prepared and locally sourced ingredients. The most frequent complaint is of needing to ease the belt a notch after a week on board.

One of the evening meals will be a simple “cupboard meal” on the assumption that guests will prefer to dine ashore on one evening during the week.

Prices are all inclusive i.e.bedding (sheets, duvets and pillows), towels, waterproofs (good quality Musto “breathable”), safety equipment, fuel, berthing and, when applicable, RYA certificates and use of teaching books, plotters etc.

Normally a maximum of five guests (may be limited to four from time-to-time depending on cruise and make-up of group).

The Whole Boat price is the price shown multiplied by 5 with a discount of £200 per person less than five. This applies to 6 night cruises - please ask for a price for different durations.

Discounts are available as follows:

     
 
Previous Guests
5%
 
Payment made (and all admin complete) by the end of March or 4 months before the cruise whichever is earlier
5%
 
Booking for two or more weeks
5%


Re-provisioning, Skye (click on the image for a larger version - please be patient while the image loads)Payment is made into a Client Account (i.e. released only on completion of the holiday).
