Fruit, porridge, toast, jams and a selection of cereals are the basic start to your day. Depending the days itinerary there may also be a fresh free-range farm eggs or a cooked breakfast.

Lunch

Being at sea we plan our passage around the shipping forecast and our skipper’s knowledge and experience. You will be kept informed as to that days passage plan so that you can make the best use of your time, whether that be doing something industrious or simply wave watching from the wheelhouse. Usually we will be on passage in the morning with an opportunity to go ashore in the afternoon. Lunch is often at anchor and might be a homemade soup, light cooked meal, or maybe a packed lunch to allow you more time to explore a secluded island. On days in port you might arrive back aboard to the smell of fresh scones or cake.

Dinner

Your crew aim to be at anchor by 7pm allowing time to settle the boat, the crew, and the passengers ready for a delicious boat-cooked meal. Dinner consists of two courses alternating between entrées, main dishes, desserts, and cheese. Feel free to chat to your chef about local food and recipes. We can cater for most dietary requirements aboard and we are committed to using fresh local produce as much as possible. End your day with a wee dram on deck from our small selection of Highland spirits.

There is always fruit, biscuits, tea, coffee, water, and soft drinks available throughout the day in the saloon.

Interesting Fact

Why are dolphins born tail first?

The main reason given for this is that is vastly reduces the risk of drowning, as opposed to the head coming out first  where if the birth takes a long time it will not be able to get to the surface to breathe immediately. Also, facing in the same direction as the mother means when it is fully born and the umbilical cord disconnects, it can then be quickly and easily guided to the surface to take that first important breath.
