Combined, Specialist and Life Events.

We don’t just do sailing. Perhaps combining a sailing trip with walking or cycling ashore, touring a coastline or star gazing at night is on your to-do list?

Throughout the year we offer various events that go beyond just sailing. How about combining a mountain ascent or coastal hike on one of Scotland’s amazing islands? Ever wanted to see a full moon or star filled sky unhindered by city lights? Please note our evening night sky trips often run at short notice when the weather is favourable.

We also offer private yacht use for important life events like weddings, birthdays and other special events. We can also assist with special requests to celebrate life. Step onboard where our team will look after you during some of the most important and memorable events in your life. Find out more about our winter walking and exploring weekends below which are available to book now. Information on options for private charters (e.g. wedding, private group bookings for stag/hen, celebrations and life events) please contact us directly.

Sail Experience Day Trips

Various Dates, Kip and Oban

Do you have a little explorer bubbling away inside?

Have you ever wanted to explore beyond beach trips and coast walks?

Join us for a day out on our Clyde (from Kip Marina) or West Coast (from Oban Marina) explorer. Amazing scenery, Castles and wildlife will complement history and some fine local produce for lunch onboard. This all makes for an enjoyable day out. Follow the link below for more details. These trips make great birthday present especially as our yacht Taeping has some amazing history tied up in her four circumnavigations!

Dark Sky Trips - Firth of Clyde

Kip to Kip

Join us for an evening of wonder as we head out into the Clyde, away from the glare of headlights, streetlights and city lights to seek out a clear, star filled sky. Step aboard our yacht and get kitted up with safety gear at our home base in Kip Marina before we slip out into the Clyde and head for an area with a few less street lights to distract us.

After a short motor from the marina you will be able to enjoy the quiet of the evening as dusk slips into night and the stars begin to appear. With timing selected to ensure the moon is hiding away it’s hopeful that we can get a great view of the night sky.

We do our best to only head out on evenings that are forecast to have clear sky and we may need to adjust or cancel a sailing depending on weather. If we can’t reschedule your trip to suit you will be issued with a refund.

Positioning and Transfer

Various

From time to time we need to transfer Taeping between ports to meet our sailing schedule needs. These represent a great opportunity to join our amazing yacht and team for what are often substantial discounts. Interested, simply follow the links below to find out more details.

These trips can be very popular and are often released at short notice. We also notify our mailing list first, which we highly recommend signing up to so you can always be among the first to hear of a new positioning or transfer trip.
