Who would like to join our private charter 12 person day trip to see the Fingals cave, the Treshnish Islands, Staffa, Iona & Mull? 

Every trip is a little different but if you went last year and loved it so much you want to go again, this year (weather permitting), we've added in the Island of Coll, which has a really good chance of Dolphins & Whales (we can't guarantee but we've seen them every time!!).

Only 12 spaces per boat - bring your bikini if you fancy a dip our our idyllic outer hebrides beaches or in Fingals Cave (tide dependent).

It’s not for everyone’s budget but it is a trip of a lifetime!

We have pre-booked it for Thursday 12th September & Monday 16th  September. 
 

Last year this trip sold out in days! 
 

If there is enough interest, we can run 2 boats of 24 people but this would  need to be booked quickly or we have to release the second boat back to the company of transfer one trip to another day. 
 

PLEASE NOTE, THE WHOLE BOAT MUST BE BOOKED IN ORDER FOR IT TO BE FINANCIALLY VIABLE, THEREFORE IF BOATS ARE NOT FULL BY MAY, WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO CANCEL. WE RECOMMEND BOOKING THE EXTRA NIGHTS ACCOMMODATION, WITH A FREE CANCELLATION OR ACCEPTING THAT WE COULD NEED TO CANCEL OR CHANGE THE DATE. Although, last year boats sold out very quickly, so hopefully this won't happen! 

 

TRESHNISH ISLANDS ROUGH TRIP ITINERARY - If we have demand, we'll book Thursday, Monday and Tuesday but please book up Monday and Tuesday first.

• Departing Oban at 0830 (PA345PZ) we head along the South side of Mull, past Loch Buie and through the Torran Rocks before landing at Iona (about 1 hour 45 mins).
• There is time to walk to the Abbey and look around the Village. 
• The route then heads up the Sound of Iona to Staffa to view Fingals Cave (20-minute journey time).
• We sail round Lunga, then Landing at Staffa depends on the swell and also how busy the landing stage is. In the right weather conditions we are able to take the boat in to the mouth of the Cave!
• We continue towards the Treshnish Islands (20 minutes). We use a large dinghy to land; the shoreline is rocky so good boots are required.
• For the wild swimmers, the water is at it‘s warmest at this time of year, if you choose to swim to the island.
• After exploring Staffa, we head through the Treshnish Islands and round the North end of Mull and into Tobermory. (1 hour 10 minutes) This is normally a quick stop for a look about and a toilet stop. The last part of the journey heads down the Sound of Mull and back to Oban for about 1730.  
• During the trip we may see Porpoise, Dolphins (Common and Bottlenose) Seals (Greys and Common) and Minke Whales. Sea Birds such as Gannets, Guillemots, Razorbills, Puffins, Shags, Cormorants, Oystercatchers and Sea Eagles. These are not guaranteed but do our best. 

This trip is weather dependent, and we will give as much notice as possible if the sea conditions are unsuitable. Depending on the wind direction we may head the opposite way around Mull and stop at Tobermory first.

It’s best to have a packed lunch with you as the Iona stop is quite early for lunch and Tobermory is a bit late in the day.

Timings are flexible depending on how much time you spend at each stop but we recommend spending most of the time at Lunga (Treshnish Islands) to see the Puffins.  

 

Times depends on time ashore really. Usually 0830 till 1730 with a 1.5 hours at lungs. then roughly 40 mins in Tob and 1hr in Iona.

 

Please ensure you have booked accommodation in Oban for the evening after the trip, unless you are driving home.
