THE MAJESTIC LINE

The four small craft of this cruise company, taking just a dozen passengers, offer a rustic Caledonian fiavour as they potter along Scotland’s West Coast through the Hebrides. They are soon to be joined by another addition to the fieet, the six-passenger Glen Orchy available for private charter this year. Glen Massan and Glen Tarsan are converted wooden-hulled shing boats while Glen Etive and Glen Shiel are newer and purpose-built, but all possess the same cosy house party feel bolstered by locally sourced cuisine. There are 18 different itineraries of three, six and 10 nights with sailings around Skye and Argyll, the Orkneys and St Kilda, which include wildlife cruises to spot the eagles, otters, deer and porpoises that nd their home here. 01369 707951; themajesticline.co.uk
