Our two wee ships are home for the winter!

Time to give our wee ships some ‘tender loving care’ after a busy and adventurous season exploring the Inner and Outer Hebrides. 

Over the winter we are fitting Seahorse II with two new double/twin en-suites cabins as well as a new dining area. These conversions will make the voyage aboard Seahorse II an even more enjoyable experience!

A lovely walk from Loch Buie to Loch Spelve, Isle of Mull. 

Thank you to guest Ai-Lien Lang for sharing these pictures and text with us:

- Seahorse II anchors in Loch Buie but not for long! Bosun Roy tenders the guests to shore and then he and Captain Charlie will move the ship to Loch Spelve.

- Several hours later, Seahorse (wee ship on left) makes her way into Loch Spelve to pick us up at the end of our 6-mile hike across the isthmus (at the red post box) after a nice hike to the Stone Circle and beyond.

- We earned our cuppa tea when we re-boarded Seahorse!
