We invite you to come and explore the beautiful west coast of Scotland aboard our Bavaria 37 Cruiser from our base near Oban. We are Blair and Mike from Glasgow, Scotland. For the first time, we are making our private yacht available for charter. With five berths, she is suitable for day sails or longer trips. We have been sailing the west coast since 2019 - it really is one of the best places to sail in the world. Oban provides excellent start for trips to the islands of Mull and Jura or for those wishing to go further afield it is also well placed for accessing Coll and Tiree, Skye, and the Outer Hebrides. TERMS Normal embarking 4pm on the day of arrival and disembarking 12pm on day of departure (we can be flexible upon request). We require guests to: - leave the boat in a state of cleanliness you found her in. - report all accidents, damage and maintenance issues as soon as possible.
