Prices and Booking
Wildlife Explorer and Crinan Canal Cruises
Our new Wildlife and Crinan Canal Cruises are 5 night holidays which have set dates and are suitable for single travellers, couples, groups and whole boat charter. The price per person is £508.00 and whole boat charter is £2540.00. There is also a £27 surcharge per person for the Crinan Canal Cruise: a transit fee that we have to pay to the canal operators. Please check the calendar for availability and feel free to get in touch to discuss your plans: we are very happy to help you sail this unique part of the West Coast of Scotland aboard the St Hilda.
Flexible booking for groups
We operate a system of flexible booking for a group of three or more people in the months of July and August. This allows you to choose the start date of your cruise and the number of nights on board - availability permitting. Once the cruise dates are established, if the group is less than six people, we advertise for more people to come on board.
Whole boat charter
You can also hire the whole boat for up to six people which is a wonderful way to enjoy a sailing holiday in Argyll; whole boat charter prices are at a discount: the whole boat for the price of five people. The Wildlife Explorer, the Crinan Canal cruise and the "flexible booking" dates are all available for whole boat charter.
The boarding time for all cruises is 3pm on the departure date and disembarking is at 11am on the day following the last night on board.
