I had an amazing trip with Celia aboard the Selkie. Exploring the Small Islands was such a joy - just breath taking views all around! I knew so little about this part of the world that everything was an adventure! The weather was Scottish - quick changes from sun to clouds to cold wins - even some fog. But the sailing was a joy. The Selkie is a well equipped boat - with a lovely salon/dining area where we enjoyed delicious meals and even better conversation. As an American, I loved getting to know the Brits and Scots I was sailing with - it broadened my view of the world. Celia is an amazing skipper. She taught me so much. And her concern with safety made me feel secure. I would love to sail with Celia on the Selkie again. I felt so well cared for. Don’t hesitate to book.

This was a unique experience of the stunning west coast of Scotland on board a yacht. The yacht is a well prepared strong expedition style vessel expertly skippered by Celia with home cooking to keep the crew happy. We visited sone remote and beautiful places which would otherwise be difficult to access. A great experience.

From day one our charter was dogged by cold rain, dark skies and unfavorable winds that reduced our options. My husband had limited mobility and had never sailed, and I had never sailed outside the tropics. Yet none of that mattered as we explored Skye and the small isles on Selkie because the Hebrides are spell-binding under any circumstance, and our company — Captain Celia Bull, her son Dylan and friend Jackie Johnson — are some of the finest people you’ll ever meet. Selkie is the perfect expedition yacht for reaching out of the way anchorages in these islands, and Celia is the best captain I’ve ever sailed with: calm, charismatic, passionate and deeply knowledgeable about her home waters, always glad to share the helm and sensitive to the wishes and needs of her crew, assuring each member has his or her best day. Dylan turned out some amazing meals for us, including a feast of hand-rolled sushi meant for a picnic, which we devoured in a downpour in the shelter of Celia’s car on Eigg. So we didn’t get to St. Kilda, and spotted a nuclear sub instead of a Minke whale. We hiked to some glorious beaches, had fabulous runs in 20+ knot winds, sailed with golden eagles, harbor porpoises and puffin colonies, and danced at a Ceilidh. I took a traditional guitar class with a master on Eigg, my husband took the wheel of a boat for the first time, and when asked how he liked sailing, he replied, “This is the life.” If Selkie can work this kind of magic when it rains, imagine what it’s like when the sun shines!

I had the great pleasure of spending 21 days sailing onboard SY Selkie and I can honestly say it changed my life forever. Captain Celia Bull and First Mate Dylan are extremely experienced and responsible making sure that the guests are safe and secure while getting to experience remarkable locations.
From The Standing Stones of Stenness to the sheep of North Ronaldsay to the ancient seaport of Stromness to transiting the Caledonian Canal and Lochness. Any one of these places would have been a once in a lifetime memory but to couple them with traveling by sail from place to place it was truly unforgettable.
Do your self a favor and book a passage. It may be the next chapter in your life’s story.

I have been sailing in these water for many years, but was on Selkie for the first time - a good boat with a hugely experienced skipper who is also a great cook. The Scottish weather is unpredictable, of course, so it is important to take warm and waterproof gear. That weather means that there are few boats on the water and vast spaces to explore, on land and sea. The birds on the Treshnish Isles were spectacular. I will be back next year.

Trip of a lifetime sailing to St Kilda and mooring for the night - and swimming - in Village Bay. Gannets swirling around the stacs like confetti. Dolphins surfing the bow waves every day. 18 different types of bird including St Kilda wren. Going back in time walking along the village high street. Anchor dram of champagne under a full moon. Being allowed to helm through the (gentle) Atlantic swell out of sight of land. Basking shark and Minkie whales. Amazing food including venison roast. Celia managing the whole experience effortlessly. OMG !!! We'll be back (infact - we have been back for the summer family sail!) . Thank you Celia, thank you Selkie.

We went on the first ever Geo Sail on Selkie Explorer exploring the marine and geological wonders of the Inner Hebrides with skipper Celia, first mate Dean and geo-leader Angus. Everything was spectacular even the weather. We sailed amazing passages, walked on remote beaches, anchored in secret harbours and ate very well. Everything was done very professionally but in a relaxed way—slow adventure Celia calls it.
We sailed along the west coast of Rum with the geological features highlighted by the afternoon sun. We were alone on Staffa before the tour boats arrived. We walked from Celia’s croft to the singing sands on Eigg. Angus’ knowledge and enthusiasm added an extra dimension to the amazing things we saw. Highly recommended.

Thank you for the wonderful review. So good was our tip that we are now taking bookings for 2 more geosail in 2019. In May we head to St Kilda and September to the Small Isles. I am very much looking forward to these voyages. Angus is so knowledgeable. Looking forward to learning more about St Kilda rocks.

I discovered Selkie Explorers through a work colleague and knew this kind trip would be an extraordinary experience. My husband and I joined Celia and the Selkie for a 5 day journey to St. Kilda. We ran into some bad weather and took a detour, and every new isle we went to was more beautiful than the last. We had never been sailing before, nor really been on too many boats but Celia, her first mate Dean, and other friends/guests Kath, Ben, and Michael made this whole experience so incredible! Celia is an amazing cook, and everyone had such a great vibe! During the day we would sail, have tea and biscuits, then dock and hike, and come back in the later afternoon to a dram of vino and a delicious dinner. I loved it when after dinner, or sometimes randomly during the day, Ben or Michael would bust out their banjo or flute and give us some tunes. I couldn't have dreamed a better trip. Celia, you are the bomb dot com, thank you from the bottom of our hearts for making this experience so wonderful! Highly recommend this adventure!!

We sailed from Eigg to Mallaig in April 2018. Selkie Explorers, skipper Celia, and first mate Sean provide extremely good tuition on the basics of sailing to two first timers. The trip was a superb introduction to yachting and the commentary on local wildlife was fantastic. We would highly recommend Selkie Explorers and hope to sail with them again.

Back again for a brilliant trip on Selkie to Outer Hebrides and back via Canna, Rum and Eigg. Great sailing, great company, wildlife – otters, puffins and more. More than a sailing trip with the skipper’s in depth knowledge of all things local including first hand island life as a crofter. Delicious locally sourced food, brilliant crew, comfy bunk, full immersion – never gave the desk job a thought! Oh yes and our group turned up a banjo, guitar, whistle and fiddle between them. Great trip – I’ll be back :)
