What our customers had to say,
"Knoydart is special and simply wonderful when combined with an experience like the day we spent with Billy. Feeling safe at sea in capable and experienced hands allows you to relax and really enjoy the day. Watching gannets dive around the boat, fishing and hauling lobsters. Being landed at a remote beach and walking through view after view to be met at the other end with the most superb seafood meal. I really hope we will be able return for another adventure."
A really special day out on the West Coast of Scotland.
