YOUR SAILING AREA
OBAN, SCOTLAND
Begin your taster sailing experience in the port town of Oban on the West coast of Scotland. After getting acquainted with fellow guests and the boat, we’ll give an introduction and safety briefing over tea and cake. After lunch, we’ll set the sails together for the first time!
This voyage is perfect for beginners and if you have no sailing experience, it’s no problem! Skippers and owners of Steady, Jan-Willem and Marielle, have been sailing with Steady since the 90s and have sailed in Scotland for many years. They will show you the ropes, hoist the sails with you and you can even take the helm and steer the boat.
Our itinerary will be dictated by the wind and weather, ensuring the best experience for guests and enabling us to choose the best-sheltered sailing spots. We might sail towards Loch Linnhe where we can explore Lismore or to the colourful harbour town of Tobermory on the island of Mull. The island of Mull has many smaller islands on its West coast with beautiful anchorages and wonderful wildlife-watching opportunities.
Each day, after breakfast we will sail for a few hours before anchoring in a new location with plenty of time in the afternoons to explore ashore on foot.
