This was a really good day chartering. It is always very special when we sail near this island group of Eigg, Muck, and Rhum on the west coast of Scotland. The weather was fantastic and the boat was running like a dream. Suddenly the cry went up …Shark! Sure enough it was a large basking shark feeding alongside the boat. We were all amazed by this marvelous creature of the sea as it drifted along effortlessly with its giant mouth open catching its lunch. What a unique treat.
This was a great day out and the Island of Rhum was magnificent. Our clients went ashore to discover the charms of Rhum for themselves. They came back to the boat very happy and full of that mystical quality that makes visiting Scottish Isles a unique experience. The residents are charming, the scenery is stunning and the overall effect is infectious and leaves you only wanting more.
We set out from Tobermory, having had a good breakfast aboard charter yacht ‘Louise’. It wasn’t long before we had rounded the sometimes treacherous Ardnamurchan Point with its dominating lighthouse. The Island of Muck was our first stop and our charter guests went ashore for a delightful afternoon tea, a brisk walk, a visit to a seal colony and a stop in at the craft shop. Then with bags loaded with locally produced lamb and others goods we set off to our overnight harbour and the scenic shelter of a mooring in Arisaig.
The day started in Ardfern and ended with some fun fishing in Tobermory. Even though we caught some I can assure you they all went swimmingly back into the sea. Tobermory on the Island of Mull is a great spot for tourists chartering on the West Coast of Scotland. Fuel, water, a really nice harbour master and some of the best fish and chips in Scotland. We had a lunch in one of the local bars and were entertained by the skillful pipes and drums of some of the younger Tobermory residents. Another great day exploring the wonders and beauty of Scotland.
A Scottish yacht charter is something very special and unique to experience. However chartering a boat with LA Marine is even more special because of the wide range of day experiences we offer and where we can go. What you can do and the high level of service and attention you experience makes a boat charter with LA Marine quite special.
