Sailing Holidays in the UK

Resplendent with towering mountains, jagged geology, and magnificent glens, sailing through the highlands will have you staring in awe at the scenery. You can feel the history of the land and will be taken back in time to events like the Jacobite uprising. On the way into the highlands, see the Man of Stoer sea stack and delight in the antics of the playful dolphins following your boat. After docking, swim up to the pristine beach for some sun-bathing. A visit to the vividly coloured Inverewe Gardens will highlight the contrast between them and the sparse vegetation of the stark highlands.
