Our Vessel
‘Splendour’ is a beautifully converted Scottish wooden fishing vessel 20 metres in length, accommodating up to eight guests in five private ensuite cabins. The boat is powered by a beautiful Gardener diesel engine renowned the world over for reliability and economy. Splendour is extremely seaworthy while at the same time providing very comfortable accommodation for a holiday afloat.

The Accommodation
Splendour has been tastefully fitted out using solid and veneered hardwood. The dining deck saloon is perfect for socialising or relaxing with a good book and for enjoying all the wonderful meals cooked by our onboard Chef. The roomy wheelhouse is a popular place for guests chatting to the Skipper, spotting wildlife and getting all the local information not found in the guidebooks! Guest sleeping accommodation consists of 5 private ensuite cabins, a true luxury for a vessel of her size. The outdoor decks are spacious, and perfect for enjoying an alfresco drink while watching the scenery drift by. Kayaks, windsurfers and bicycles can all be stored on deck for the active guest, while fishing and laying out lobster pots is also a popular pastime.
An excellent cruise, thanks to Argyll Cruising crew and boat. Iain and Mike looked after us superbly. Food, walks, trips. Alla Voy, until next time

Another wonderful cruise. Lovely weather made it possible to reach St Kilda. To see all the birds and other creatures. Everything was perfect as usual, the attention onboard was faultless. Back next year!
