Experience ultimate Hebridean holidays by combining an onboard sailing  adventure with your Hebridean Hopscotch itinerary.

In association with Beyond the Blue Horizon, we are delighted to offer you the chance to visit several amazing sites at the edge of Europe, including St Kilda, the Shiant Islands - famous for their puffin breeding colony, the island of Mingulay, south of Barra and the Monachs to the west of Benbecula.

Sailing aboard 'Elinca' - a 67' steel Cutter Challenge Boat. The Challenge Boats are well known throughout the world from the British Steel Challenge and the BT Global Challenge when they circumnavigated the globe.  Your cruise can be from as little as a few hours to several days, which can be added into your Hopscotch schedule - ideally at the start or end of your holiday.

Elinca provides a comfortable environment, good facilities and the odd little luxury to make your journey more pleasurable. The crew pride themselves in making sure you receive a friendly welcome and great hospitality, whatever length your voyage or destination.

The yacht's captain, Angus Smith, has sailed  many oceans and covered more than 150, 000 nautical miles, delivering super yachts for private and charter hire as well as working as captain for 5 years aboard SV Dat Helja in the Mediterranean and Adriatic.
