From Inverness, we will sail up the Caledonian Canal, a stunning cruising route right through the Highlands. We will also sail across Loch Ness, although we cannot guarantee to see the monster. If the weather cooperates, we can anchor on Loch Ness to visit the ruins of Duart Castle.
Via Fort Augustus, we go up and down through several locks. The locks are almost all in close succession, which also allows space for sailing. The scenery becomes increasingly beautiful, higher and rougher.
The locks are an experience in themselves, their operation and the wind determine our progress through the Caledonian Canal, but there are lots of wonderful overnight places in the middle of nature. After sailing, there is of course the opportunity for a nice walk.
At Fort William, we sail out on the west coast of Scotland. Overlooking the highest mountain, Ben Nevis. The last day we sail to Oban, a wonderful sailing trip, and in the evening we go out for dinner.
Day distances are between 15 and 30 nautical miles. The above schedule depends on weather, wind and tide, we will deviate from it if necessary.
Category C/F: Relaxed sailing holiday with shorter day distances and plenty of time for sightseeing. There are also smaller children on board.
