Possible Itinerary:

As a sailing ship, we are largely dependent on the weather. The program below is a guideline and can be adjusted under the influence of weather, currents and especially the wind. This may mean that we have to skip ports or call at other ports than those described below. Flexibility is the rule, especially on this trip!

Ullapool:

This sailing trip starts in Ullapool. Ullapool is a relatively young place that was founded at the end of the 18th century during the peak of the herring fishing. The rugged landscape around Ullapool is known for its nature, the wildlife and the many species of birds that can be found here. Tonight we enjoy an extensive meal on board and get to know the crew and other guests.

Orkney:

We first set course for the Orkney Islands. This archipelago consists of 200 islands of which 'mainland' is the largest. We will moor here in Kirkwall, the capital of the Orkney Islands.

There is a lot to see on the Orkney Islands; from the Neolithic traces such as 'Skara Brae' and the 'stones of stennes' to the wrecks of the German war fleet that were sunk in the 'Scapa Flow' after the First World War.

Of course, a visit to the two famous distilleries of Highland Park and Scapa should not be missed during a visit to the Orkney Islands.

Fair Isle:

After leaving Kirkwall, we set course for Fair Isle, geographically the most remote inhabited island of the United Kingdom. The island has about 60 inhabitants and can become isolated for weeks due to the weather, especially in winter. We spend the night at the ferry pier of the island.

Shetland:

From Fair Isle, we set course further north to the Shetland Islands. In total, about 22,000 people live on this group of islands, which is known for its named ponies, the large bird colonies and the natural beauty.

we will moor in the capital Lerwick from where we can explore the islands.
