Lizzie May - West Coast Adventure- Oban to Falmouth - 7 days - £780 - FULL

Explore the West Coast of Scotland and England under sail

 A seven day adventure holiday as working guest crew aboard pilot cutter Lizzie May. No sailing experience is necessary as you will be given full training so you can be an active part of the crew.

This adventure is not for the feint hearted, but a great adventure to be had visiting ports along the West Coast of both Scotland and England.

Western Scotland is a rich marine ecosystem which offers fantastic seafood and wildlife watching from the sea eagles of Mull to the dolphins and whales that cruise the deep waters between the Western Isles.

Starting at 3pm  you get there by train or bus from Glasgow during the day. (see our port details)

After safety briefings and training you have plenty of open water in the Firth of Lorne to get your sea legs and plenty of scenery from Duart Castle guarding the Sound of Mull to the mountains of Mull as you head south. There are some lovely anchorages on route like Puilladobhrain (home of the otter) which is a narrow perfectly sheltered inlet south of Oban, but you may aim further afield on the first night.

You are likely to stop en route but given the nature of the voyage it is not possible to predict where, until much nearer the time, with an accurate weather forecast in hand.

The voyage ends in Falmouth. For Port information and other holiday and travel ideas see the end port details page.
