Scotland

Discover Scotland


Sailing along the Scottish Hebrides is a journey through landscapes of unrivalled beauty and wilderness. These archipelagos, scattered on the west coast of Scotland, captivate with their austerity and undisturbed beauty. But it's not just the landscapes that attract travellers from all over the world. 

Scotland is also the land of whiskey, and in the heart of the Hebrides there are some of the most famous distilleries of this noble drink. A visit to these places is not only an opportunity to taste excellent single malts, but also a journey through the history and tradition of this Scottish icon. The richness of Scotland's culture is also evident in meetings with local inhabitants, learning about their customs and legends, and experiencing their extraordinary hospitality. 

Islay

Islay is one of the key whiskey-producing regions in Scotland: Islay whiskies are such an important part of Scotland's heritage (and economy) that they are protected by law.
One of the things Islay whiskeys are famous for is the smoky flavour created by the peat smoke used during the barley drying process.
The distilleries are open to visitors and offer interesting tours to those who want to get more knowledge about its unique whiskey.

Itinerary

When sailing in Scotland, it's essential to consider the powerful tides, making it an ideal region for gaining experience with tidal currents.


You can start your trip from Oban, where the yacht fleet is generally older, or from the marina in Largs, near Glasgow. 

If you begin your journey from Largs, you'll sail past the Mull of Kintyre, a peninsula known for its strong currents, making it crucial to time your passage correctly.


The first significant island along the route is Islay, famous for whiskey production. On the southern side, you have the opportunity to visit well-known distilleries like Laphroaig and Lagavulin. Just a short distance away is the charming village of Port Ellen, complete with cosy pubs and local shops.

Close to Islay, separated by a narrow strait, lies Jura, a more mountainous island that has its own distillery, known for its unique flavour profile.


Heading north, you'll reach the large Isle of Mull. If approaching from the south, be sure to visit Tinkers Hole, an intriguing spot where extreme low tides sometimes reveal land that is usually submerged. This dramatic change turns nautical charts from blue, which indicates water, to green as the seabed becomes visible.


Ulva Island provides safe anchorage for the night, and just a bit further east lies Lunga, a small island famous for its dramatic cliffs and puffin colonies. Observing these charming birds up close is an unforgettable experience. Continuing on, you'll find Tiree and Coll, known for their sandy beaches, an unexpected sight for this part of the world.


On the Island of Mull, you'll find one of the most picturesque towns in the region, Tobermory, known for its colourful house facades, strong tides, and its own distillery. The next town on the route is Oban, famous for its Roman-style coliseum and its excellent seafood that you'll remember long after your visit.


If you’re heading back towards Largs, you can pass through the scenic Crinan Canal, which features a series of locks connecting the Hebrides to the Firth of Arran. This picturesque waterway not only offers a more sheltered route but also provides stunning views of the surrounding landscapes.

I started my sailing adventure with inland cruises, exploring Masuria, which developed into a great passion for water, wind and the sailing lifestyle. The beginning of sea expeditions is primarily the Baltic Sea and the North Sea. It was the northern seas of Europe that shaped me as a sailor and as a person.

​

The last few years have been marked by warm waters of the Mediterranean Sea, Croatia has become a second home and sailing is a way of life.

​

After sailing over 40,000 nautical miles, I am very happy to pass on my knowledge and spread my passion for sailing.
