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.

Explore the Coastline of Argyll, Arran and the Outer Hebrides
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.
Really fab food, company and trip. Thanks for a lovely time! Will be back!!

Boat and team excellent, Jamie in sorting out pre tour, Iain for everything and Mike what wonderful food and wise ‘crack’ coming from that small galley. Wonderful, in my mind forever.

Where to begin? Such a delightful week! If you’re a guest reading this at the outset, you’re in for a real treat. Mike works nothing short of magic in that little galley, producing delicacy after delicacy – A true feast and Iain’s expert knowledge of this boat, the area , its history, the islands – Spectacular walks, sights and company! Can’t wait to come back next year.

A very BIG thank you to Iain & Chef, but not for the increased waistlines 🙂 Calm waters where we ventured and we will have to return to visit those islands and the puffins – next time Iona, Eigg, Rum and Muck…
