Wildlife – Culture – History – Remoteness
Mountains, Rich Seas and Abundant Wildlife
Scotland offers you some of the finest sailing waters in the UK and how better to explore the rarely reached remote areas of the Western Isles or the charms of the Inner Hebrides than on a traditional sailing vessel? Our skippers will be your wildlife and cultural guides, teach you to sail, and inspire you to make the most of your active holiday on board and ashore. These are fantastic voyages if you love mountains and rugged coasts and want to see Scotland through the eyes of a sailor, get close to wildlife and reach some of the most inaccessible wilderness areas in Britain by boat.
Classic Sailing has a wonderful choice of skippered and fully catered sailing holidays that sail in the Scottish waters. Our traditionally rigged boats, schooners and tall ships roam from St Kilda to Shetland, Skye to Islay. Many voyages are themed and beginners will enjoy shorter breaks exploring the islands whilst more experienced sailors may enjoy the challenging expeditions to St Kilda or the Faroes, the Fair Isle. Orkney and Shetland.

St Kilda
St Kilda is a wonderful archipelago of islands and one of Scotland’s remotest treasures. It is a world heritage site 35 nautical miles west of Uist. The main island was inhabited until 1930 and clues to the St Kilda way of life still remain, carefully maintained by the National Trust for Scotland.
There is a huge gannet colony and even more puffins.
Let Provident take you to St Kilda
St Kilda is remote, you can feel the sense of isolation the past inhabitants lived with all their lives.
In midsummer it barely gets dark in June and given clear skies and a soft breeze a night time sail to St Kilda is utterly magical.
Outer Hebrides
Lewis – Harris – Parabay
Provident is our Inner and Outer Hebrides specialist in 2023.
Over a dozen voyages to the Hebridesasdasd
Inner Hebrides – Skye – Shaints – Mull – Eigg – Much – Rhum
Islands South West of Oban
Jura – Islay – Colonsay – Staffa and Fingal’s Cave
The whisky distilleries of Jura and Islay, and the abbey at Iona are also worth a visit. Wherever your voyage takes you, you can be sure to make a scene, sailing in aboard such a beautiful historic ship. If practical a trip ashore onto Staffa and into Fingal’s Cave is something you will always remember.
Provident has great voyages to this area.

You can take a gentle voyage through the Caledonian Canal, there will be opportunities to sail in the Lochs but it is never going to be rough in a Loch!
Voyage to Scotland from Iceland on Tecla
Starting from Iceland, sailing to Scotland. A proper crossing at the end of the season. Teamwork is what it takes, making sure you are well rested for your watches. You will enjoy some of the most spectacular Northern light displays as you sail on the ocean with no light pollution whatsoever.
There are 700 nautical miles, which could be done in 5 days with the right wind conditions, leaving plenty of time for exploration of the Faroes, Shetland, Orkney and the Hebrides. However be prepared that if the wind isn’t favourable not all of these stop-offs will be possible, as Tecla must make up the miles to reach Ullapool.
