Welcome aboard Stravaigin Sailing!
Sailing holidays, private yacht charters and multi-activity adventures on Scotland’s West Coast
We welcome you aboard Stravaigin, our 44ft 8-berth sailing yacht that sails from Oban in Scotland. We are a small family-run business that offers sailing holidays, private yacht charters and multi-activity adventures along the stunning West Coast of Scotland, taking in the idyllic coastline, islands, secluded sea lochs, and sheltered coves.
Stravaigin is an old Scots word meaning “to wander with no particular intent”. We like to think that our name encapsules our ethos of immersive, slow adventures, exploring and discovering new landscapes, experiences, foods, cultures and creating meaningful experiences and memories that linger.
We aim to keep these environments thriving for the future by minimising our impact on the planet. Rest assured your sailing holiday will have a massively positive impact on the environment you’ll cruise through, the local communities on this coast and the natural world all around us.
From a day’s yacht charter exploring inner Hebridean islands to a full week sailing holiday spent cruising the West Coast as well as enjoying other outdoor activities either as a couple, with friends or a family group cast off with Stravaigin to discover new and exciting horizons.
With more than 10,000 miles of spectacular coastline, you are sure to enjoy a boating holiday along Scotland’s rugged West Coast. We pride ourselves on providing our guests with the best quality experience where they are free to relax and enjoy the journey as we explore the breathtaking beauty of the Scottish coast.
