Sails and Summits offer a sailing holiday experience, the complete holiday package exploring the west coast of Scotland, the islands of the Hebrides, and further afield to St Kilda, which without a doubt is one of the more exciting destinations. The area boasts some of the best cruising grounds and certainly the most spectacular in the UK, and what better way to discover it's remote delights and rich abundant wildlife than by sea. Esseness is a new Dufour 455 grand'Large, a spacious and comfortable ocean sailing cruiser. With two double aft cabins, one en suite, we want to share our passion for sailing and the great outdoors with ideally four guests, though a fifth can be accommodated in the saloon. As your hosts we enjoy the experience with you, and we are happy to sit back and allow you to plan and sail a cruise, or join in the thrill of an exhilarating sail out to St Kilda, or help you plan an itinerary based round your favoured shore based activity. And at the end of the day what better way to finish than with an excellent home cooked meal with good company and banter.
Sue and Stuart, her owners and skippers, hold commercially endorsed RYA yachtmaster offshore certificates and have many sea miles logged round the coast of Britain, in the Mediterranean, down the coast of Europe, in the Canaries, across the Atlantic and a few in the Caribbean. Sue is an RYA shore based instructor so you can hone up on your navigational skills. Stuart is also a professional outdoor pursuits instructor and can guide clients in hill/mountain walking, mountain and gorge scrambling, rock climbing, abseiling, kayaking and canoeing. Climbing harnesses, helmets and ropes are provided, though the more skilled may wish to bring their own. We also have an inflatable two-man canoe, which is ideal for exploring secluded bays while the evening meal is being prepared. |
