Unwind on the West Coast of Scotland on a Unique Small Boat Cruising Holiday
Explore the Picturesque West Coast of Scotland and the Hebrides on our Unique Scottish Cruises
Argyll Cruising offers ten unique Scottish Cruises, visiting the inlets and islands of Argyll, Arran and the Hebrides, including Mull, Islay, Jura and Skye and the Small Isles. The spectacular cruises run from three to thirteen nights, amongst the beautiful islands and stunning sea lochs of Argyll. With a maximum of 8 guests on board, these are highly personalised cruising experiences within an idyllic maritime setting.
Your skipper will welcome you on board the elegant Splendour, a tastefully converted traditional wooden trawler yacht, and home for the duration of your cruise. A holiday on board Splendour offers the perfect escape with relaxing and welcoming accommodation. On the spacious outdoor decks you have the choice of unwinding on sun loungers, wildlife watching, perhaps a spot of fishing, or an invigorating plunge into a secluded bay.

Explore the Coastline of Argyll, Arran and the Outer Hebrides
Going ashore by tender is part of the fun. Opportunities to explore stunning coastlines, traditional villages, ancient woodlands, castles and world famous whisky distilleries are plentiful on our Scottish cruises. While out on the tender you might have the opportunity to help crew set creels for crab or lobster, which could even be served at the next meal. The ultimate in food from source to table.
Excellent Hospitality Onboard
After time on deck, exploring on shore and creating lasting memories, relax in the deck saloon and get to know your fellow guests whilst enjoying the freshest local produce, prepared and cooked by our private chef.
An Abundance of Wildlife to See
Join us on a Scottish wildlife cruise where we sail under the towering cliffs of Ailsa Craig, the seabird mecca of the Western Isles. With over 40,000 breeding gannets, hundreds of puffins, porpoises and the chance to spot minke whales, all from the spacious wildlife watching decks of Splendour, our cruises are a nature lover’s dream.
Cruise Scotland in Style
With beautiful traditional lines, Splendour lives up to her name, both outside and in. Boasting double or twin private en suite cabins, she is more than suitable for the modern traveller, and offers a comfortable and cosy cruising experience.
