Flying Dutchman

Cycling and sailing with the tall ship Flying Dutchman in Scotland

The Flying Dutchman is a historic sailing ship, originally built in 1903 as a herring lugger and later converted into an impressive passenger sailing vessel. On cycling and sailing trips through the Scottish Highlands and the Inner Hebrides, she combines authentic sailing with a personal atmosphere on board. With space for up to 22 guests, you'll experience Scotland from a unique perspective.

The cozy saloon with its restaurant area and small bar is the heart of life on board. On the spacious deck, you can enjoy the fresh sea air or experience sailing up close. If you wish, you can help the crew set the sails, take the helm yourself, or venture out into the bow net – an unforgettable experience on a traditional sailing ship.
