Z02-25: Sailing holiday along the Highlands & Caledonian Canal

From Inverness, we will sail up the The Caladonian Canal, a stunning route right through the Highlands. We will also sail across Loch Ness, although we cannot guarantee that we will see the monster. If the weather cooperates, we can anchor on Loch Ness to visit the ruins of Duart Castle.

Via Fort Augustus, we will go up and down through several locks. The locks are almost all in close succession, which also leaves plenty of space for sailing in between. The scenery becomes more beautiful every day, higher mountains and more rugged scenery.

The locks are an event in themselves, their operation and the wind determine our progress through the Caledonian Canal, but there are many beautiful overnight places in the middle of nature. After sailing, there is of course the opportunity for a nice stroll.

At Fort William, we sail out on the west coast of Scotland. Overlooking the highest mountain, Ben Nevis. The last day we sail to Oban, a wonderful sailing trip and in the evening we go out for dinner.

The above schedule is subject to weather, wind and tide. The daily sailing distances are between 15 and 30 miles.

Sailing holiday Prices 

The ‘board price’ of the voyage is the rent for ship and crew, which must be paid up front.

The ‘board cash’ is the amount per person for the food and drink on board (including crew), as well as fuel, water, shore, port fees and taxes, but excluding trips, food and drinks ashore. This amount must be paid upon embarkation in cash to the skipper (in the appropriate currency). What remains after the sailing holiday, will be refunded.

With less than 3 participants, the ‘board cash’ is usually not sufficient. In that case, there will be a surcharge of up to € 50 per person.
