Make 2026 the year you sail to Scotland!

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.

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?

Visit by car before the boating season

Not ready to sail just yet? Visit by road, explore the coastline, enjoy the scenery, and stay with us at our waterfront hotel, The Salt Lodge in Troon.

If you later decide to take up an annual berth at Troon Yacht Haven or Largs Yacht Haven, we’ll refund your hotel stay in full.

Think of it as an enjoyable introduction to Scotland's west coast and a convenient way to get to know the place before committing afloat!
