Join our VentureSail crew and Mammut Mountain School guides on a bespoke trek and sail experience. Sail to remote anchorages around the Hebrides on luxury expedition vessel Zuza, before embarking on guided treks around these remote and beautiful islands.

We have teamed up with Mammut Mountain School to bring our guests a unique opportunity – combining our sailing holidays with guided trekking in the Hebrides, Scotland.

Jump aboard luxury expedition yacht Zuza for this seven-night, six-day trip giving guests the chance to learn the ropes of sailing and explore the remote locations and unmarked route in the Hebrides. Sail to places only accessible by boat and navigate paths determined by your Mammut hiking guide, trekking across naturally beautiful terrains around Scotland. All routes will be planned by your Mammut guide and are not marked paths, offering a unique opportunity to explore where few people have had the chance to set foot.

Join Zuza in Oban, Scotland where you will be provided with everything you need for your adventure week away. Offering freshly prepared food, comfortable social spaces and private cabins with plenty of storage, this purpose built expedition yacht was made for trips like these. Meet new faces, discover new locations and spot an abundance of wildlife, all under the guidance of experienced professionals. The trip includes all meals and drinks (including a packed lunch for the treks & three-course evening meals), Mammut mountaineering equipment, Mammut hiking guide, and exclusive use of luxury yacht Zuza, sailed by a qualified skipper and crew. Guests need to be at a good level of fitness and bring with them 3 season walking boots.

Mammut Mountain School offers a rare opportunity to learn outdoor adventure skills in a stunning setting from some of the country’s most experienced mountaineers. It is run by Sam Sykes who has decades of experience leading expeditions across the globe. Sam climbed his first mountain aged three and now his knowledge and dedication to helping others achieve their adventure goals are helping him build the best expedition company in the world.

Experience Wildlife as you walk
Wildlife in Scotland is a real treat whether under sail or by foot. Sightings of seabirds such as Black Guillemots can be seen in their hundreds and white-tailed eagles soar along the rugged coastline. Sailing on Zuza is often rewarded with widespread sightings of birds of prey like Buzzards, Kestrels, Sparrowhawks and Peregrines and, if you’re lucky, you’ll spot the diminutive Merlin. Scotland is also home to Fulmars, Hooded Crows, and snowstorms of Gannets diving for food on the open sea. Acrobatic Ravens give everything else in the sky a flying lesson and there is also the opportunity to spot scattered colonies of sensitive breeding Arctic & Common Terns. These sights are magnificently overwhelming, with the sound of seabird colonies, Puffins, Guillemots & Razorbills, it is like nothing else on earth.

There are frequent encounters with Common, Bottlenose & Whitebeak dolphins on board these trips, and Risso & Whitesided dolphins are also occasionally sighted. Basking sharks have been scarce the last few years but are still seen and seem to be returning – and we know the hot spots! There are plenty of whales in this part of the world too. Our most common encounters are with Minke – Humpbacks are a less frequent visitor, while the real star of the show is the resident pod of Orca if you’re lucky enough to see them gliding through the water.

Wherever you explore with your Mammut hiking guide and Zuza as your base, be sure that the views will be breathtaking and the experience once in a lifetime. So have your eyes peeled and your walking boots at the ready for a wonderfully adventurous trip of exploration – one not to be missed!
