I have been sailing in these water for many years, but was on Selkie for the first time - a good boat with a hugely experienced skipper who is also... read more a great cook. The Scottish weather is unpredictable, of course, so it is important to take warm and waterproof gear. That weather means that there are few boats on the water and vast spaces to explore, on land and sea. The birds on the Treshnish Isles were spectacular. I will be back next year.

We ran into some bad weather and took a detour, and every new isle we went to was more beautiful than the last. We had never been sailing before, nor really been on too many boats but Celia, her first mate Dean, and other friends/guests Kath, Ben, and Michael made this whole experience so incredible! Celia is an amazing cook, and everyone had such a great vibe! During the day we would sail, have tea and biscuits, then dock and hike, and come back in the later afternoon to a dram of vino and a delicious dinner. I loved it when after dinner, or sometimes randomly during the day, Ben or Michael would bust out their banjo or flute and give us some tunes. I couldn't have dreamed a better trip. Celia, you are the bomb dot com, thank you from the bottom of our hearts for making this experience so wonderful! Highly recommend this adventure!!
