Selkie Explorers | Sailing holidays around the Scottish isles. Come sailing aboard Selkie, a unique, 15m aluminium cruising yacht with lifting keel, designed to go anywhere, do anything. Already tried and tested in Antarctic and tropical waters, she is now based on the Isle of Eigg where her owner and skipper Celia Bull runs a croft. As a climber and sailor, Celia has spent her life exploring remote and beautiful areas. We offer year-round sailing trips in Scotland for the adventurous, the creative and the curious voyager.

Discover Selkie Explorers, sailing adventures reimagined, where each journey through the Hebrides and beyond offers a unique blend of mindful sailing and immersive experiences. Picture yourself on tranquil yoga sailing trips or uncovering geological wonders with our popular geology sails. You will be actively involved in sailing the boat, indulge in locally sourced cuisine prepared on board, connect with communities passionate about marine conservation and sustainable living, and sail to remote, beautiful, and storied landscapes. Embark on a seven-day Hebridean voyage or a ten-day Outer Hebrides exploration, inviting you to become part of the island’s heartbeat. Join us and redefine adventure, or make your own dream adventure a reality.

From our 2025 Mindful Sailing and Wild Yoga Voyage: “Truly, a once‑in‑a‑lifetime experience… highly recommended for anyone seeking adventure with the grounded nature of yoga and the stunning backdrop of the sea.”
