Welcome
Alba Sailing - Bareboat and Skippered Yacht Charter, RYA Training and Sailing Experiences, West Scotland
ALBA SAILING is Scotland's premier independent bareboat and skippered yacht charter company and RYA Training Centre - we have provided quality service for over 25 years. From our purpose built shore side premises at Dunstaffnage Marina, Oban, Argyll in West Scotland we offer a wide choice of quality yachts from 31 - 54 feet for bareboat or skippered yacht charter. Unlike many charter companies, we own the majority of the yachts in our fleet so you can be sure of not only a warm personal welcome but also of our commitment to providing you with a well maintained and well equipped yacht that you will be proud to sail.
Our base is at the heart of Scotland's West Coast cruising grounds so the Inner Hebrides, including the Isle of Mull and the Isle of Skye, can usually be circumnavigated within one week depending on whether you use bareboat or skippered charter. Our Cruising in West Scotland page gives you a brief outline of some of the many attractions our cruising area has to offer.
We have our own Chandlery and hire shop on-site and offer a range of services including waterproof clothing hire, freshly laundered bedding and towels as well as a first class provisioning service.
We also provide RYA training and sailing experiences to anyone who wants to get a feeling for sailing or would like to brush up their skills. Our RYA training is fully compliant with MCA and RYA standards and provides excellent tuition on well equipped yachts. Sailing experiences can include team building and development and provide an exciting challenge for anyone involved.
We are also very happy to recommend local accommodation providers and to arrange transport to and from any of the major airports and train stations.
Enjoy our website and please feel free to contact us directly for any further information, advice or guidance on skippered or bareboat charter in West Scotland or our RYA training and sailing experiences. We are here to help. Alba Sailing is run by sailors - for sailors!!

Why choose Alba Sailing? - Here are a few edited but genuine and unsolicited comments from some of our customers who have given their permission for these extracts to be used.
- .....I get really fed up of poor service in shops in the UK - sullen staff, little product knowledge and no interest in helping - I just thought I would drop you a line to say that the service you gave me last weekend was totally extraordinary - talk about 'go the extra mile' - and I only spent £4.99 !!! Thanks again - you deserve to do really well.....- Ailsa Campbell - Perth - Scotland
- .....We have just got back from a week on Oceanlord. Shattered after a long drive but we wanted to drop you a line to say that we have never enjoyed a holiday so much. The boat, the service, the scenery even the weather was fantastic! Please book the same week for us next year..... - Wendy Cartwright - Somerset - England
- .....We were aboard Eloise 2 weeks ago and left an expensive pair of sunglasses aboard - thanks for returning them (they were here before we realised they were missing!). Whilst writing can we just mention that the happy smiley service from Sam and Di (and yourself of course!) and your natural caring style made our first bareboat charter in Schotland a much less daunting experience then we expected. The handover was thorough yet interesting and your help with route planning was very illuminating - don't tell anyone else about Loch na Droma Buidhe - we want to keep it a secret!..... - Dieter Zimmerman - Winterthur - Switzerland
- .....I have chartered yachts on the West Coast of Scotland most years for the last 25 years - I have used almost every yacht charter company and I have got to say that whilst you are not the cheapest - nor the most expensive - you do offer outstanding value for money. The whole setup is just perfect and backed up by you and the girls (hi girls!) you have got it just right. We were particularly appreciative of the help given with transfers from and back to the airport and the food waiting on board was just great. After such a long journey we just could not have faced a shopping expedition!..... Charlie Rodriguez - Timberlake - West Virginia, USA
