Are you an aspiring sailor? Would you like to explore the splendours of the west coast of Scotland?

If you've answered yes to either of these questions then a cruise on board L'Ecume des Mers is just for you!

From leisurely cruising to challenging navigation, the skipper ensures that each itinerary is tailored to the crew on board. The pace can be as slow or as fast as you wish to take it….

If you're looking to enjoy a peaceful cruise, we can sail the sheltered waters of the Inner Hebrides, pausing at quiet anchorages with opportunities to explore ashore by foot or bicycle.

For more weathered sailors, we have the challenging sailing afforded by the Western Isles, with the spectacular islands of St Kilda, the Flannan Isles and other remote islands beyond.

But it isn't all about cruising - for those who wish to gain their RYA offshore certificates, the waters that make up our cruising ground present an ideal environment for training at all levels. And for those who believe sailing isn't the only pleasure in life, L'Ecume des Mers' reputation for fine home cooking may explain why so many of her crews take to sailing like ducks take to water…
