Onboard Comfort in our Double Ensuite Cabins
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.
So good to be back in Scotland. Loved the boat – scenery – great food – great memories

Its hard to find the words… The boat, the sea, the skipper and cook, the food – all worked perfectly for me (alone). Iain even laid on a day’s storm / magnificent seas, the boat (and skipper) coping superbly / and then for the other passengers (a convivial and learned ornithologist from USA) relatively calm seas and, as they say ‘a prosperous voyage’. Well done Iain and Michael.

A dream of a trip – beautiful scenery, gourmet meals and wonderful company. What better way to celebrate an anniversary and come to know a bit of Scotland – and now to return to this special place.
