Charter

We have three well-equipped yachts both available for bareboat or skippered charter.

The West Coast of Scotland has to be one of the most beautiful and exhilarating places to sail.
Whether it is to complete a tour of the Hebridean Islands or to explore the sheltered anchorages, Lochaber Watersports has a suitable yacht for you!

From our base in Ballachulish - just 90 minutes from Glasgow and 30 minutes from Fort William or Oban - you can easily cruise through Loch Linnhe towards Mull, The Hebrides or Islay and Jura.

Tobermory - or Balamory to some! - on Mull is a great destination, a vibrant town with famous painted houses, a convenient small marina and some fine dining and bars. Other destinations include Coll, Muck and Eigg or for those with more time there is Castlebay on Barra or any number of quiet anchorages in the Outer Hebrides.

Wherever you choose to sail, you can be sure of a warm welcome and some fantastic scenery. In this part of Scotland, the mountains quite literally touch the sea.
But don't expect crowds… well not of people or other charterers, anyhow. Give yourself time to slow down and admire the view or to let a passing school of dolphins play under your bows while you put the kettle on again.
