Travel Notes:

Kip Marina, our starting point, sits in the village of Inverkip which is well served with rail and road access. We recommend guests travel via train to Inverkip (via Glasgow Central Station) which is a 5-7 minute walk (downhill) to the marina. If you prefer to drive the marina has ample car parking and EV charge points from a number of different vendors are available in the marina or Inverkip village.

Kirkcudbright, tucked away in the southern heart of Dumfries and Galloway is served mainly by bus links to both Dumfries and Stranraer from where onward travel via train is also possible. We can also arrange shared travel from Kirkcudbright to Kip if guests wish to leave their car at Kirkcudbright before joining the yacht at Inverkip.

Cost:

£245 per person
