About
Yacht charter in Scotland with the Isle of Skye Yachts and have the opportunity to personally experience some of the best sailing in the world. Details of each boat and information about Skippered Charters, RYA Training Courses and our cruising area can be found here
Starting off your yacht sailing holiday or training course around the Scottish Islands from our moorings in Armadale Bay, at the Southern tip of the Isle of Skye puts the Inner and Outer Hebrides on your doorstep. If the weather is right, visiting St Kilda is a distinct possibility within a week¹s holiday. Those of you with two or more weeks to spare will find us well placed for Orkney and Shetland. Of course you may wish to have a more relaxing holiday and there are limitless opportunities for this, visiting the numerous anchorages on Skye itself and/or the dramatic coastline of mainland Scotland.
The uncrowded seas and islands offer endless opportunities to see seabirds, sea life and other wildlife at close quarters. It is your own choice whether you spend your evenings in quiet anchorages or whether you want to eat ashore and taste the local fare in a variety of restaurants, hotels or pubs.
Isle of Skye Yachts offer a varied selection of sailboats for Sailing Charter so you are sure to find something to your taste. Yachts are generally taken "Bareboat", but if you would like a Captain or Pilot we have a number of experienced and helpful Skippers available who can help you maximise the enjoyment of cruising in a new area. We also offer RYA Training Courses from Competent Crew through Day Skipper and Coastal Skipper to Yachtmaster Prep.
Most of our vacation charters run on a weekly basis from Friday or Saturday (see price list for details), but other days can be arranged, particularly at short notice. If you have any special holiday requests, please do not hesitate to get in touch with us to discuss them. We can assist you in planning your holiday by offering advice about travel to Skye, possible destinations for your cruise, provisions for your holiday and with any other queries you might have. In addition to chartering out yachts, we have a large workshop in Ardvasar where we are able to offer a variety of repairs to visiting yachts. Showers are also available here. We usually have a selection of boats and equipment for sale details of which can be found on our website. Should you be interested in purchasing a yacht for charter we also have a Yacht Charter Management Programme booklet available.
