By train to Mallaig,via Fort William perhaps catching the Overnight Sleeper from London, and then by ferry directly to Armadale, just 100m from our boats.The West Highland Line is known as one of the Great Railway Journeys of the World.

By plane - The nearest airport is Inverness, which is served by direct flights from throughout the UK. NEW ROUTES just announced for 2008 by Budget Airline FlyBe are to/from Southampton, Manchester,Birmingham and Exeter.These airports have many connections to the Continent and may make for a more convenient transfer than via London. See the Airport Website for more information. We can arrange for the picturesque 2.5 hr road transfer from Inverness by car or "people carrier" for up to 8 people and it is usually possible to include for a provisioning stop at Tesco en-route.

From Glasgow International Airport you can get the shuttle bus to Glasgow Queen Street Station and the train to Mallaig. Prestwick Airport is a little further away and a same day transfer by public transport is not usually possible, so consider routing via Inverness as above.

If you require further details of flights, transfers etc. then please contact us.

By car directly, over the Skye bridge at Kyle of Lochalsh (Now FREE, but not quite as romantic as over the sea...!) or by the relaxing and scenic ferry crossing from Mallaig. Both routes take the same time (about 2 ¼ hrs.) from Fort William. Allow a minimum of 4 hours total driving time from Glasgow, 2 ¼ from Inverness. If you want to bring the car and all your gear right to our pier then this is probably the best way to travel.

By Ferry, The ferry timetable has frequent sailings.If we know that you are coming on the ferry as a foot passenger our launch will pick you and your luggage up directly from the ferry pier and take you straight to your yacht.
