Where do we go? Well, that is up to you…
In summer we usually start our cruises from Plockton and specialise in cruising the fabulous area around Skye, her islands and the Wester Ross, Lochalsh & Lochaber coasts.
Our Skye cruising ground stretches, broadly speaking, from Loch Gairloch in the north, to the Small Isles of Canna, Rhum, Eigg and Muck in the south (see our Cruising Area map). That encompasses Skye and the clusters of islands off its eastern shore, and a string of scenic sea lochs piercing the mainland coast – Torridon, Carron, Duich, Hourn, Nevis – all offering sheltered, secure anchorages and access ashore.
In spring and autumn Red Moon has her home at Dunstaffnage Marina near Oban which opens up fabulous cruising possibilities nearby in the Sound of Mull, Firth of Lorn, around Mull or to one of the other many islands of the Southern Hebrides.
Choices, choices, choices….and we are happy to help you make them. We and Red Moon can take you to places justly famed and popular – and others that you won’t have to share, only accessible by boat.
We offer a bespoke service where you have a large degree of control on where you want to go. We can suggest individual intineraries based on your ideas of places and things you would like to see and do. We can advise what is possible depending on the length of your holiday and what is practically possible for the boat and crew to achieve.
Weather plays an important role in that as your comfort, enjoyment and safety are paramount to us, and we will advise when we feel it is unwise to follow a particular route. Our Cruising Area map will give you an idea of how far Red Moon can go in a given time; however, please bear in mind that in calculating these timings we have not taken account of tides, wind or sea state.
On every trip, the safety, satisfaction and comfort of our guests are our paramount priorities. Comfort is assured, given Red Moon’s sea-going stability, her well-appointed cabins and warm, welcoming saloon. Satisfaction…well, we’ll do our utmost.
The sea and the weather are less predictable and for safety’s sake it may sometimes be necessary to tweak itineraries. But don’t worry, we’ll have plenty of equally interesting alternative suggestions - there’ll always be a plan B (and if necessary, a plan C!).
Red Moon is at your disposal, the navigation charts are laid out on the wheelhouse table….and to whet your appetite, take a look at our Cruise Destinations ...
