The Boat

Eala Bhan (Gaelic for 'white swan') is a 20 m (24 m with bowsprit) 50-ton traditional wooden herring drifter. Built in Peterhead 40 years ago she fished the seas around the Outer Hebrides for over 30 years.

Her recent refit included central heating, a new galley, comfortable saloon for meals and socialising, library, bar, TV, 2 toilets and 2 showers. All modern safety, communication and satellite navigation equipment has been fitted including a colour echo sounder (in case we spot the Loch Ness monster!).

In addition to the crew accommodation, the boat now has 5 comfortable centrally heated 2/3-bunk cabins accommodating a total of 12 guests.

We offer a variety of trips from day cruises to extended voyages. Why not join us on a day sail to see the Moray Firth dolphins, or take a trip down Loch Ness and the Caledonian Canal. Some cruises can be combined with cycling or walking amongst the best scenery in the Highlands. More info....

You can join in to help sail the boat or sit back, relax and let the crew do the work. No sailing experience is necessary. For energetic guests, we can arrange alsorts of activities off the boat from mountain biking to canoeing. Just tell us what you would like to do and where you'd like to go - we will organise it all for you.

Before your arrival we will give you some handy hints as to what to bring - e.g. warm and waterproof clothes, gloves and a hat, plus some midge repellant for when we are berthed. And of course don't forget your camera!

Please note that smoking is not permitted inside, but smoking is allowed in certain areas on deck.
