A skippered, hands-on, sailing holiday on the West Coast of Scotland or Norway. Sailing amongst the islands of the Hebrides, Orkney, Shetland, the Faroe Islands and Lofotens in comfort aboard a quality Oyster yacht. Charter a berth or the whole boat.

Or you can take a RYA Practical Training Course at this accredited sailing school. You can combine a sailing holiday with RYA approved training from Start Yachting, to Competent Crew, Day Skipper, Coastal Skipper and Yachtmaster preparation.

Richard is your skipper and host, He is equally happy to handle the boat or leave you to sail while he keeps the mugs of tea and coffee topped up, prepares the meals or uncorks the wine.

He is a qualified RYA Yachtmaster Instructor and those who want to learn more will find him a calm and patient coach.

Experienced sailors will enjoy improving their navigation and boat handling skills in an area with interesting tides and snug anchorages.
Beginners will soon find themselves spending time at the wheel, trimming the sails or launching the dinghy.

Wind, Tide, Weather and the mood of the group dictate that no two cruises will be the same.

Favourite memories include;
reefed-down sailing in magnificent winds, barrelling along with the tide in narrow channels, dry-mouthed moments creeping into tight anchorages or rather wetter ones landing on rocky shores in the tender.

And;
a stroll on an empty beach before dinner, local hospitality, laughing at the antics of puffins around their burrows, the excitement of sighting the first dolphins or dining on fish caught that afternoon.

Whatever your age or experience, whether looking for a relaxing sailing holiday in Scotland cruising between islands, an approved RYA sailing course, a concentrated week of mile building in the Outer Hebrides, a short break, or more adventurous sailing to St. Kilda, Orkney, Fair Isle, Shetland, Faroes and Norway, you will find something to suit you.

In keeping with the New Horizon sailing concept of choice – of top yacht, great location, guaranteed warm welcome and quality of experience, we have again expanded our programme to offer:

Sailing Holidays, Weekend Breaks, Milebuilding and RYA Training in Scotland including the Clyde, West Coast, Mull, Skye, the Outer Hebrides, St Kilda, Orkney, Fair Isle & Shetland and further north to the Faroe Islands, the Lofoten Islands, the Svartisen Glacier and the great Fjords.
