St Hilda Sea Adventures holidays departs from Holy Loch Marina, near Dunoon in Argyll on the West Coast of Scotland. It is very convenient to reach us by public transport, and we are happy to help with local travel information.

Boarding: Please be aware that it is not possible to board your vessel before the boarding time as the boat is still being made ready for you. Boarding time is 3pm. For a three night holiday the boat normally sets off about an hour after boarding and we will not leave without you! For a six night holiday, msot guests prefer to spend the first afternoon and evening settling in and literally learning the ropes - as little or as much as you want.  The boat then normally departs the marina the next morning, and setting sail if the conditions are right. You will disembark at 11am of the last day of your holiday
