Highland Voyages

Enjoy tall ship sailing on our converted herring drifter in the spectacular scenery of the Scottish Highlands and Islands. Learn to sail or watch the world glide by - the choice is yours!

Eala Bhan (Gaelic for 'white swan') is a 20 m (24 m with bowsprit) 50-ton traditional wooden herring drifter. Built in Peterhead 40 years ago she fished the seas around the Outer Hebrides for over 30 years.

Her recent refit included central heating, a new galley, comfortable saloon for meals and socialising, library, bar, TV, 2 toilets and 2 showers. All modern safety, communication and satellite navigation equipment has been fitted including a colour echo sounder (in case we spot the Loch Ness monster!).

In addition to the crew accommodation, the boat now has 5 comfortable centrally heated 2/3-bunk cabins accommodating a total of 12 guests.

We can arrange all sorts of additional activities: mountain biking, golf, fishing, hill walking, nature walks, canoeing/kayaking, white water rafting, clay pigeon shooting, archery, plus sightseeing tours to standing stones, distilleries, castles, etc. You can also enjoy a real ceilidh (Scottish music & dance)!

Whether you want to help the crew or sit back and watch the world glide by, we look forward to welcoming you onboard. We have accommodation for 12 people in centrally heated twin cabins and excellent food to ensure you have a great time on your Highland Voyage.
