Can I fish from Scotia W?
Fishing from the vessel is permitted and our cook will be happy to cook and serve your catch. We carry rods and tackle onboard, but you are welcome to bring your own and try your luck while we are at anchor.
Will midges be a problem?
The Highland Midge is a species of small flying insect that is common to the West Coast of Scotland and is known to bite humans. They tend to be most widespread in July and August, and in the evening rather than during the day, as they prefer cooler conditions. Midges are also more commonly found near water, but are less active if there is a bit of a breeze. However, midges are not found at sea. They can be kept at bay with the help of insect repellent and a number of specialist midge repellents have been developed.
At any time of year and whatever the weather, cruising Scotland’s waters is a unique and mesmerising experience that is not to be missed. Aboard Scotia W we take our guests on a voyage of discovery through dramatic scenery to experience nature at its most pure.
