New yacht for 2012
We have ordered a brand new Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 409 for the 2012 season. Voted the European Yacht of the Year for 2011 this stunning yacht will be available from March 2012 and bookings are being taken now. For her full details click here.
Hebridean Experience!
In 2011 we ran two - 2 week cruises to St Kilda but many people were shocked by the staggering beauty of the Outer Hebrides whilst waiting for a weather window to get out to St Kilda. For 2012 we will be running two - 2 week cruises just to explore the Outer Hebrides in all their glory. If the weather is particularly settled we will pop over to St Kilda but that will not be the main objective.
Places are strictly limited and bookings are now being taken. There are more details on the RYA page
Pontoon Bashing !!
Several people have asked us to run a one day course to provide training to enable people to handle a yacht under power and in confined spaces and in awkward circumstances egaccessing pontoon berths cross tide, down wind etc. The course is £99 inc lunch and refreshments - much hilarity is guaranteed!!! Dates and places left are on the RYA page
Fantastic meals for your Holiday!
The lady who makes the meals for our training courses and skippered charters etc is now able to offer her services to bare boat charter customers as well.
For full details click here.
The meals are all home-cooked using only fresh local ingredients. Jennie is fanatical about quality, freshness and environmental impact.
Jennie is a trained cookery teacher and her food is simply wonderful.
Once
the meals are made they are deep frozen and around the time you arrive
the food is delivered directly to the fridge on your boat.
All
you need to do is pop it in the oven and with
virtually no work at all you can enjoy top quality food on board your
yacht. Jennie provides full instructions, ingredient lists and a
temperature probe. Remember it's a holiday for the cook too!
All
dietary requirements can be catered for - such as Coeliacs, vegans,
pescetarians etc.
