Scottish Island and Wildlife Cruises

Welcome to the website of Chalice Charters. We operate out of the port of Oban, gateway to the Western Isles of Scotland - the last natural wilderness in Europe - offering Scottish island cruises, wildlife cruises, bird-watching and whale watching cruises, private charter, and research and survey services.

As you browse through the following pages, we hope that you will begin to get a feel for the experience that you will enjoy when you join us for a wildlife or scenic cruise. Find out more about the Chalice experience and how you can enjoy the best that wild Scotland has to offer - what you can expect to see, feel, hear, smell, and taste on your Scottish island cruise!

If you've never sailed before, or you're a little apprehensive about going on this type of holiday, then you could visit our Timid Sailor page, where you will be given some sensible advice about cruising with us and a few myths will be dispelled for you.

Check out our programmed cruises, or perhaps you'd like to talk to us with a view to arranging your own private charter for a group of friends? Our contact details are at the bottom of the page.

Thank you - enjoy your virtual visit, and we hope that you'll be able to join us on board 'for real' in the near future! Can you picture yourself there yet......?
