Sail the Hebrides on a High‑Latitude Expedition Yacht
Selkie is a 15‑metre, one‑off expedition yacht built for high‑latitude seas and shaped by decades of real voyaging. She carries people into the Hebrides in a way that only a boat like her can — close to the weather, the wildlife, and the raw edges of the islands. Life aboard is hands‑on and immersive: you come to sail, to learn, and to feel the sea under you. For many, these voyages become the wildest and most memorable days they ever spend in this landscape. Explore the Hebrides aboard Selkie, a bespoke expedition yacht built for high latitudes
Choose your Voyage
7‑Day Voyages
Selkie’s 7‑day voyages give you a full week immersed in the sea, the weather, and the islands. You’ll sail a high‑latitude expedition yacht through some of the most striking waters in the Hebrides, learning as you go and becoming part of the crew. These weeks are full, hands‑on, and shaped by the conditions — no two are ever the same.
• Hands‑on sailing every day
• Time ashore on remote islands
• Learning as part of the working crew
• Evenings anchored in quiet bays
• A full week immersed in the weather and the sea
10‑Day Voyages
A 10‑day voyage gives you the time and space to settle fully into life at sea. With more days under sail, we can reach further into the islands and follow the weather into places that shorter trips can’t always reach. You’ll learn, helm, handle lines, and become part of the working rhythm of a high‑latitude yacht moving through a wild island seascape.
• More time under sail and exploring
• Space to settle into the rhythm of the boat
• Opportunities to reach further into the islands
• Learning through real involvement on deck
• A deeper, slower experience of the Hebrides
Mindful Sailing & Wild Yoga Retreats
These retreats weave sailing, yoga, and time in the islands into a slower, more spacious experience. Each day brings a mix of time under sail, movement, breathwork, and quiet moments anchored in wild places. You don’t need to be experienced in yoga or sailing — just open to being present, learning, and spending time in the weather and the sea.
• Daily yoga and mindful movement
• Sailing as part of the working crew
• Time ashore on quiet islands
• Evenings anchored in sheltered bays
• A slower, more spacious rhythm at sea
Hebrides Story & Wellness Retreat
This retreat brings together steady sailing, gentle movement, and the deep story of the Hebrides. Each day offers time under sail, time ashore, and space to connect with the landscape, the weather, and the long human history of these islands. It’s a slower, more reflective way to be at sea — open to anyone who wants to move, learn, and settle into the rhythm of the boat.
