After joining Cherokee in the Firth of Clyde, guests will get to know their home for the next week before setting sail the next morning. Our first port of call will be the Scottish isles of Bute and Arran, both known for their ruggedness and beauty. Here, there’ll be time to go ashore and discover the harbour towns and their surrounding landscapes before setting sail again for Cherokee’s next destination. This will be the neighbouring Kintyre Peninsula, and if you can avoid having Paul McCartney’s song in your head for the rest of the trip then we’ll be very surprised! Nevertheless, he wrote the song as a tribute to the peninsula, and it’s easy to see why – the quiet beauty and dramatic landscape is a vista to behold.
The next stop sees Cherokee cross over to the emerald isle, to Glenarm to be precise. This coastal town is surrounded by rolling fields and thick woodland – guests will be able to go ashore and take a walk through this landscape that seems so different from that of Scotland. Again Cherokee sets sail, and depending on the weather, her final stop before Belfast could be Carrickfergus – one of the oldest towns in all of Ireland, whose castle is well worth a visit.
Cherokee will drop anchor in Belfast, and we highly recommend that rather than just embarking on your journey home you indulge yourself in some of the city’s immense history – from the Titanic Museum to black cab tours, explaining The Troubles of Ireland and its people. If you would like stay another night, Cherokee will be in the harbour for a night after your departure, and Jouke and crew are happy to have guests remain on board for a night of bed and breakfast for £70. If you’d like to do this please just let us know when booking and we’ll arrange it.
