Orkney Islands – Northern Scotland – Fair Isle

This page was translated automatically from German. View the original

Join us on an extraordinary sailing trip through the wild waters of the north – to where Europe becomes wilder, more remote and at the same time fascinatingly beautiful. This route takes you along the rugged coastlines of northern Scotland, to the historic Orkney Islands and on to the remote Fair Isle, one of the most unspoilt places in Britain.
Right from the start along the northern Scottish coast you'll feel the power of the Atlantic: wide horizons, strong tidal streams and a landscape shaped by wind and sea. Ancient castles, secluded bays and small fishing harbours shape the scene.
The Orkney Islands welcome us with a unique blend of nature and history. Here you'll find prehistoric sites, Viking heritage and lively harbour towns – above all Kirkwall, which invites you to linger with its maritime atmosphere.
A particular highlight is Fair Isle: remote between Orkney and Shetland, renowned for its spectacular birdlife, steep cliffs and incomparable tranquillity. Here time seems to pass more slowly – a place reached by few sailors.
What awaits you:
- Challenging sailing with tides, currents and North Atlantic weather
- Active role on board – you're part of the crew
- Unique nature, birdlife and vast landscapes
- Small crew, intensive shared experience
- Authentic harbours off the beaten tourist track
Who is the trip suitable for?
For crew with a sense of adventure and an interest in active sailing. Some sailing experience is an advantage, but not essential. What matters is team spirit, open-mindedness and a willingness to embrace the conditions of the north.
This trip is not a package holiday – but a genuine experience. Wind, wide open spaces and unforgettable impressions included.
