Barra to Largs Adventure

Between Barra and Largs, there are many of Scotland’s most famous coastal landmarks and attractions that could be visited or passed by, depending on the weather and tides. View Ailsa Craig on the horizon, pass the stunning Mull of Kintyre and Paps of Jura and visit the beautiful island of Gigha. Depending on the tide, you will either pass by or transit through the awesome Gulf of Corryvrechan, with its infamous whirlpool. Iona’s Abbey and the remote island of Staffa with Fingals Cave and the adorable puffins are on the route. Other sea life abounds in this wonderful area. The remote harbours of Gometra and Ulva await.  Other places in this excellent cruising ground include the harbours of Oban, Lochaline and Tobermory. The Small Isles and the Shiant Isles could be visited. Not all of these places can be reached in the 7 day adventure, but it’s a wonderful list for the skipper and crew to choose from, weather depending.

There are 4 ways to join this adventure, commencing on Sunday 15th June at Castlebay: Firstly, you can remain onboard Clipperton after the Outer Hebrides Adventure (above) and take advantage of our discount(s).  Secondly, you can join Clipperton by simply hopping onboard after touring the islands. Alternatively, from the mainland, you can either fly from Glasgow in the late morning or take a ferry to Castlebay from Oban at 1.30 pm.  Clipperton will then depart Castlebay no later than Monday. Clipperton will arrive at Largs at/before noon on Sunday 22 June.
