Orkney Cruises
Join us for our
Orkney Cruises
We have a number of opportunities to visit the Orkney Islands in 2024, starting in either Fort William or Wick.
Itinerary
Cruise the route of the famous North Coast 500 but take in Orkney and St Kilda along the way - wow! Or spend more time in and around the Orkney Islands, visiting the Italian Chapel, the Old Man of Hoy, the Churchill Barriers, Scapa Flow, Skara brae, Stromness and much more..
The nature of our cruises is to provide a “theme” and to make the most of the options available to us based on weather, tides, access and things like local events & festivals.
Food & Drink
We include breakfast, lunch and dinner each day of your cruise. Our cook will use the finest locally sourced produce, fresh from suppliers to deliver mouthwatering dishes.
Dinner will be the main meal of the day and will be served between 6pm and 7pm in sheltered anchorage or in harbour. If we are still on the move we can dine if the water is calm or wait until we reach sheltered waters. The other meals of the day require more flexibility as the boat may be moving depending on our schedule for the day.
A bar with wines, beers and spirits will be available.
Wildlife
Scotland’s waters and coasts are a playground for a wide variety of wildlife from minke whales & porpoises to puffins and sea eagles. Binoculars and cameras are recommended.
Visitor Attractions
At the start of each cruise the captain will meet with the all of the guests to discuss the planned route for your cruise which will take into account tides and weather. We will endeavour to visit some of Scotland’s finest distilleries, castles and attractions from suitable nearby mooring.
Walking & Mountaineering
There will be plenty of opportunity to explore Scotland’s hills and mountains so bring along your walking/hiking equipment.
