To offer more choice to our guests, New Horizon Sailing works with a few carefully selected partners giving New Horizon Sailing guests the opportunity to sail in other areas aboard quality yachts.

An established partnership with Steve and Sandra Scott with whom we offer skippered charter for discerning and adventurous guests aboard their 44ft Moody Grenadier Ketch, Magritte (almost as lovely as our Oyster “Stormdancer”).

Their go-anywhere yacht has circumnavigated and provides comfort, quality, strength and safety. She is immaculately presented, carries the latest navigation and safety equipment and is fully inspected and licensed by the UK Department of Transport.

Steve and Sandra have sailed extensively around Britain, Ireland and the Mediterranean. They are both commercially endorsed RYA Yachtmasters. Lawyers by profession, Steve is an RYA Yachtmaster Instructor and Sandra, as well as being a trained nurse, is a fantastic cook.

They offer good food, a warm welcome, comfortable bedding, great sailing, RYA or informal tuition (or not) and good company for just four guests in the two twin cabins aboard.

In 2008 we are excited to offer the opportunity to join Magritte as she crosses to Norway and explores northwards to the Lofoten Islands before returning via Bergen to Inverness and then back to the West Coast of Scotland via the Caledonian Canal. Please click here for the 2008 programme.

In 2009, the yacht will be sailing from the Clyde to the Canaries with convenient one-week legs taking in the Irish Sea, South Wales, Cornwall and the Scilly Isles, Brittany, Atlantic France, the Rias of Spain, Portugal and Madeira. Please click here for the 2009 Programme.

“I just wanted to drop you both a short note to say what a stunning 5 days sailing we had last week with you both, the memories loom large, vivid and bright. I wanted to pass on my thanks for making it such a delightful experience. You did a great job.”
Tim, Aberdeen

“We had a great week and really enjoyed ourselves. The sailing and the instruction was great, as was your hospitality, food, company and everything else. We had a really good laugh as well which is just as important.”
Philip and Jane, Cheltenham

Clyde and the Inner Hebrides

With cruises from Ardrossan, on the Clyde, including a one-way passages to Oban and Ardfern giving the opportunity to sail the Clyde, the southern Hebrides Islands of Gigha, Islay and Jura and to pass through or close by the tidal whirlpools of Corryvreckan and the Sound of Luing.

The Small Isles and Outer Hebrides

Including Mull, Rum, Canna, Skye and onwards to Stornoway on the island of Lewis. Magnificent scenery and great sailing in the Minches.

Orkney and the Norwegian Sea

Crossing from Stornoway, rounding Cape Wrath to Kirkwall in Orkney and then the long crossing to Alesund and Kristiansund in Norway.

The West Coast of Norway and north into the Arctic Circle

One week passages from Kristiansund north to Bronnoysund, Bodo and then the Lofoten Islands where they will cruise for three weeks in mid summer before returning in one-week legs to Bergen.

Bergen to the Scottish West Coast

The North Sea crossing to Inverness and then a transit of the Caledonian Canal, linking the east and west coasts and including Loch Ness. The canal is both interesting and relaxing and ideal for young children who will have fun “helping” the lock keepers and racing the yacht along the tow path. The cost of the canal transit is included in the programme price.
