Join us for cruising the Hebrides on summer starting and finishing in Oban. We will visit the Isle of Mull, the small Isles (Canna and/or Rum), Skye and possibly Uist or Harris. Escape the crowds and explore exceptional and pristine coast lines and anchorages. These waters are exceptional for spotting wildlife such as dolphins and occasionally whales. A highlight will be to anchor in Loch Harport on Skye to visit the famous Talisker distillery.

You will stay on a comfortable cabin boat. Sailing experience is not required and trip is great for all levels of sailing ability.
Canna with it’s beautiful black sand beaches, and little thriving community of around 35, quaint old churches, romantic scenery and excellent Café/restaurant overlooking the bay.
Rum has a very moving history, people lived there for thousands of years until they were evicted in clearances in 1830s. Since 2010 the island is run by the community trust and is thriving it boasts an abundance of wild life with semi wild horses and hundreds of dear you are most likely to see wandering through the village in the bay where we will anchor looking at famous Bullochs castle.

3 weeks agoI have been sailing with Go West regularly for two years now and I have done Competent Crew, Day Skipper Theory and Day Skipper Practical with them. I have also done 3 experience builders, their specialist pontoon and close quarters manoeuvres weekend and most recently a 7 day adventure sail from Largs to Oban. Next up is the VHF course. I have now sailed on 6 of their boats and with 6 of their instructors. Go West is a very well run business, with a considerable number of repeat customers. Their boats are all very well maintained and equipped and their instructors are patient, knowledgeable and polite. However, above all they are all passionate committed lifelong sailors who are keen to pass on their enthusiasm to their customers. I will definitely sail with them again.

3 weeks agoI had an incredible week sailing along Scotland’s west coast from Largs in May 2025. We explored some stunning Scottish islands with our fantastic skipper, Danny, who made the whole trip even better. The yacht was modern, really comfortable, and a joy to sail. It was an unforgettable experience - great training, a real sense of adventure, and so much fun. I’d highly recommend it to anyone!

a month agoAnother Exceptional Adventure with Go West Sailing – This Time Aboard Skylark. After many fantastic years of training and chartering with Go West Sailing, I returned once again this season – this time for a one-way sailing, hiking, and photography trip from Oban to Largs aboard Skylark, their beautifully maintained Oceanis 45. Skylark proved to be an outstanding yacht for a demanding passage. We encountered a range of conditions, including winds up to Beaufort 8, and her responsiveness and seaworthiness made all the difference. Even when beating against strong headwinds, she handled beautifully and gave us both safety and performance when we needed it most. At the other end of the spectrum, calmer moments offered their own kind of magic – from sunset dinners in the cockpit to quiet anchorages ideal for photography. The layout and comfort of Skylark allowed us to enjoy every moment, no matter the weather. As always, the Go West shore team provided excellent support – responsive, professional, and genuinely friendly. Whether preparing the yacht or assisting with logistics, their care and expertise were evident at every step. This trip was a perfect blend of adventure and serenity, and I’m once again grateful to the entire Go West team for making it possible. I’ll undoubtedly be back for more!

3 weeks agoI have just completed my first weekend of three, aboard Solway Adventurer, learning towards obtaining my day skipper qualification. The instructor was relaxed and knowledgeable. Learning points were clear and he was patient with my questions and allowed me to practice manoeuvres repeatedly when needed, not stepping in but talking me through it. Looking forward to the next two weekends
