What To Expect
Once on board Yacht Chinwag we will give you a safety briefing before setting off on a sail out into the Firth of Lorne to your chosen lunch destination. There you can enjoy a relaxed leisurely lunch, enjoying fresh local seafood before sailing back to Oban. Choose to lunch on board the yacht at anchor or go ashore to one of the fabulous local restaurants around the coast. There are great photo opportunities and the wildlife is all around. There are usually inquisitive dolphins coming to check us out and play in the waves. You can be as hands on as you want on the boat or you can relax and take in the stunning scenery. There will be the skipper and a crew/host to ensure you have great day out on the sea. On your return sail we will drop the sails so that you can enjoy the last sail down the Sound for Kerrera with a dram of local whisky to celebrate and savour the day’s sail.

5.00Bucket list item checked off. Absolutely an amazing experience. Raymond and Laura were so welcoming when the brought us aboard “Chin Wag”. Chin Wag is a beautiful boat. We got to help crew her and the sites were amazing. The food incredible. All I need now is to buy my own sail boat. Thanks so much for this experience.

5.00Laura and Raymond were our hosts for a really nice day on their boat, the Chinwag. Raymond was so patient with Jim and I, showing us how to steer the boat etc. Laura did so much, I couldn't keep track of it all. I do know that she made us a fabulous lunch and was warm and welcoming. We will remember this day of sailing for a long time. Thanks to you both from Yvonne and Jim. ❤️❤️

5.00I had the most magical day with Captain Raymond and his first mate, Laura. Their kindness and attention to detail, including safety, was most appreciated. The fresh seafood lunch was scrumptious. I learned so much about the Isles and about sailing. Just do it, you won’t regret it!
