2026 Destination: Scotland For years, we’ve heard the same phrase from boaters everywhere, “We’ll sail to Scotland next year.”   Don't let "next year" drift away!   Scotland is a boating mecca - wild anchorages, island hopping, dramatic coastlines, and sailing stories that last a lifetime.   So here’s our invitation to make it happen and turn those dreams into reality.   To whet your appetite, start by reading our guide to the best sailing destinations on the Firth of Clyde, the southerly end of Scotland's cruising grounds, with good connectivity and facilities ashore, and the entryway to Scotland's west coast. Read our Firth Of Clyde cruising guide Why now? Scotland never goes out of style, but marina berths do fill up Give yourself time to start planning and getting excited Visit during the winter to begin learning about possible destinations. Plus, the 2026 season is building up with these incredible events returning this year...   The Fife Regatta and Richard Mille Cup return to Largs and the Upper Firth in June 2026, with historic William Fife-designed yachts back in Scottish waters for the first time in four years.   In July, the Clipper Round The World returns to Oban for a 'Festival of Sea' followed by the main race departure on 19th July.   The summer concludes with Largs Regatta Festival, Scotland's biggest regatta, in late-August. Open to keelboats, dinghies and catamarans of all classes, including the round Cumbrae race and concluding with the famous Scottish Two Handed Race. Not quite ready to set sail?
