Skarv Lines Scottish Adventure Cruises

Enjoy comfort, exceptional food, warm hospitality and unforgettable days ashore

Discover Scotland’s spectacular west coast on a small-ship adventure cruise with Skarv Lines. Aboard our converted trawler, Nova Spero, you’ll explore remote islands, dramatic seascapes, wildlife-rich coastlines and some of Scotland’s finest scenery. With just 10 guests on board, our cruises are relaxed and informal. Days are spent exploring ashore, spotting wildlife and sailing between islands and coastal communities. Evenings are for excellent food, good company and time to reflect on the day’s adventures. On cooler nights, guests often gather around the log-burning stove in our comfortable lounge.

Our itineraries visit destinations including Mull, Staffa, Iona, the Outer Hebrides and St Kilda. We also explore lesser-known places that larger vessels cannot easily reach, revealing another side of Scotland’s islands and coastline. Every voyage is shaped by local knowledge, warm Highland hospitality and a spirit of adventure. Join us aboard Nova Spero and discover Scotland from a different perspective.
