Sail the Enchanting Isles of Mull & Iona

The Hebrides, located off the west coast of Scotland, are a stunning archipelago known for their rugged landscapes, rich history, and abundant wildlife. The islands of Mull and Iona, in particular, offer a unique blend of natural beauty and cultural heritage. Mull is renowned for its dramatic cliffs, secluded beaches, and diverse wildlife, including sea eagles and dolphins. Iona, on the other hand, is a place of tranquility, famous for its historic abbey and crystal-clear waters.

Sailing in the Hebrides is an experience like no other. The sheltered waters and steady winds make it an ideal location for both novice and experienced sailors. The modern yacht Stravaigin provides a comfortable and safe platform to explore these waters, with opportunities to learn the ropes under the guidance of a professional skipper. The journey offers a chance to disconnect from the hustle and bustle of everyday life and reconnect with nature.

There is no shortage of activities to enjoy in the Hebrides. From wildlife watching and island hopping to exploring ancient ruins and hiking scenic trails, the region offers something for everyone. The islands are also perfect for wild swimming, with their clear waters and secluded bays.

The cuisine in the Hebrides is a delightful mix of fresh seafood, organic meats, and locally sourced produce. Guests aboard Stravaigin can enjoy delicious meals prepared with ingredients from the surrounding islands, including freshly caught fish and shellfish.

The history of the Hebrides is as rich as its landscapes. The islands have been inhabited for thousands of years, with evidence of ancient clans and communities. Iona is particularly significant, known as the birthplace of Christianity in Scotland, with its historic abbey attracting pilgrims from around the world.

The best time to visit the Hebrides is during the summer months, from May to September, when the weather is mild and the days are long. This is also the best time for sailing, with favourable winds and calm seas, making it an ideal destination for a sailing holiday.
