Boat Trips

One of the best ways to discover the islands of the Outer Hebrides is by enjoying one of the many scheduled or charter boat trips offered around the Western Isles.

Boat trips in the Outer Hebrides provide different perspectives on our islands, allowing visitors to understand a little more about the archipelago as well are learning about the amazing environment we enjoy here on the edge of the Atlantic Ocean.

Visitors wishing to enjoy sea tours around our shores can choose from a wide range of different options, ensuring that there are Outer Hebrides boat trips on offer to suit everyone.

Choose from scheduled sailings to distant and uninhabited outlying islands, including boat trips to St Kilda and sailings to the Shiant, Flannan and Monach Isles.

Alternatively why not take a sea tour offering dolphin and whale watching in the Outer Hebrides? Or a boat trip for bird watching around the shores of these Western Isles that are so popular with ornithologists?

Sea anglers may enjoy fishing boat trips, with charter fishing available off many of our islands – look out for fishing charters on Barra, sea fishing from Lewis and sea angling off Harris as just some of some the great fishing boat trips in the Outer Hebrides.

For visitors who prefer to plan their own sea tours around the Western Isles there are a range of providers offering the option to create personalised Outer Hebrides charter boat trips (subject to weather and tides) giving visitors the chance to explore these remote islands by boat.
