Charter a motor cruiser or yacht for your Scottish boating holiday on the Caledonian Canal

Motor Cruising on Loch Ness and the Caledonian Canal 

West Highland Sailing's fleet of motor cruisers can be hired per week, and mid-week or weekend short breaks are available except in July and August. Colour televisions are available on Magnifique and Elegance boats, and reception is generally good.

Safety equipment inventories are based on Royal Yachting Association standards and include buoyancy aids for each crew member, anchor and chain, flares, lifebelt, maps and general cruising information.

As much tuition as is required by the novice sailor is provided. A non-refundable damage waiver of £25 (£50 for Connoisseur Excel, Crown Classique, Crusader, Clipper and Consul) is charged, plus a £75 deposit against the cost of fuel used. (Fuel deposit £150 for Connoisseur Excel Class cruisers)
