Argyll Yacht Charters
From our exclusive charter base at Crinan, the gateway to Scotland’s magnificent West Coast, we offer a wide range of quality yachts for charter. Our boats are all fully MCA coded and are very well equipped – all come with complimentary outboard motor, central heating and, on all but Colonsay, electric anchor windlasses. We are unique in that we offer free passage through both the Crinan and Caledonian Canals to all our customers. Consequently, a lot of our customers undertake a two week circumnavigation of Scotland taking in the west coast, Orkney and the Caledonian Canal. Another popular circuit which is possible within a week long trip is through the Crinan Canal to the Firth of Clyde, and then sail down the east side of Kintyre, cross over to Ireland and then return via the Sound of Jura visiting Islay, Jura and Gigha en route.
The fleet has been upgraded and now includes:
