Boating around the Isle of Skye in Scotland

Boating around the Isle of Skye in Scotland

Boats trips can be arranged with our knowledgeable Nick to include mackerel fishing, whale and dolphin spotting (if you are lucky), trips around the nearest seal and seabird colonies and visits/picnics which can be enjoyed on the nearby islands or the white sands of Sandy Bay, barbeque-ing your catch.

We had a fantastic holiday these two weeks, thanks to Michael and Veronica & Nick for letting us share in all the nice bits of their community. We have discovered so many exciting things, like how to catch, kill and gut fish then cook them on the beach, finding cockles and cooking them too. We found the recently shed skin of an adder in the hills, played with frogs, crabs, caterpillars and chased sheep (for shearing)! We found great fossils and shells at the beach. We had great trips on the boat with Nick, thank you especially Nick, we have really enjoyed our trips with you. Hope to come back next year (Sorry Kids just objected & said we ARE coming back next year). Thanks again for being so welcoming and friendly.
