Unwind on the West Coast of Scotland on a Unique Small Boat Cruising Holiday
Explore the Picturesque West Coast of Scotland on our Unique Scottish Cruises
Argyll Cruising offers 9 unique Scottish Cruises, visiting the inlets and islands of Argyll, Arran and the Outer Hebrides. The spectacular Scottish Cruises start from 3 to 13 nights, amongst the beautiful islands and stunning sea lochs of Argyll. With a maximum of 8 guests, this is a highly personalised cruising experience within an idyllic maritime setting.
Owner and Skipper Iain Duncan will welcome you on board the elegant ‘Splendour’, a tastefully converted traditional wooden trawler yacht, which promises the perfect escape. The spacious outdoor decks offer the choice of unwinding on the sun loungers, wildlife watching, perhaps a spot at fishing, or choose an invigorating plunge into a secluded bay.

Going ashore by tender is part of the fun, exploring stunning coastlines, traditional villages, ancient woodlands, castles and world famous whisky distilleries. While out on the tender you might offer to help the crew set creels for crab or perhaps lobster, to be served at the next meal.
Excellent Hospitality Onboard
After time on deck, exploring on-shore and creating lasting memories, relax in the deck saloon with fellow guests to enjoy the freshest local produce, prepared and cooked by Carleton the on board chef.
An Abundance of Wildlife to See
Sail under the towering cliffs of Ailsa Craig. The seabird mecca of the Western Isles, with over 40,000 breeding Gannets, 100’s of Puffins, Porpoise and the chance to spot Minke Whales, all from the spacious wildlife watching decks of ‘Splendour’.
Cruise Scotland in Style
With beautiful traditional lines ‘Splendour’ lives up to her name, both outside and in. Fully refurbished, boasting double or twin private ensuite cabins, more than suitable for the modern traveller.
Words fail us… The fantastic islands, the wildlife and enduring majesty of the Hebrides. Scotland is with us forever. Thank you Iain for a tremendous trip, cuisine and care.
