Join our crew on this four-day, three-night island adventure to Fair Isle, taking in the full south end of Shetland as we depart from Lerwick and return to Scalloway.
Boarding at 9:30am, your adventure will begin with a comprehensive safety briefing including how to work the lines on deck and getting hands-on with the sailing as you head out on a discovery of beautiful bays and quiet coastlines only seen from the sea.
As with all sea voyages, the exact route and timings will be dependent on the weather and the decision of the skipper. The outbound sail will take us down the southeast coast route, past Mousa on the way Fair Isle where the boat will berth or anchor overnight, giving an opportunity to explore the island.
The return journey will head up the south west coast of Shetland, taking you past Sumburgh Head, St Ninians Isle and all the small islands off the coast of Scalloway before returning into Scalloway Boating club.
A voyage on Swan is very much a hands-on experience - you are part of her crew, and work as a team to make your voyage happen. All tasks are shared and everyone joins in, from the most to the least experienced.
