Allan's Boat Trips Local skipper Allan and crew invite you.... on a historical and pleasant journey starting from Oban's Railway Pier, in the heart of the town.
(1)

Local skipper Allan Strang invites you..... on a one hour journey starting from Oban's Railway Pier next to the train station. Aboard "MV Purple Heather" you sail across Oban Bay past Dunollie Castle and Hutchinson's Monument on Kerrera to the seal colony in the Firth of Lorne to include open views on Mull and Lismore. Along the way there's an abundance of wildlife to spot like all kinds of sea birds, of course seals basking in their natural unspoilt surroundings, and here and there even dolphins - all set in the beautiful and stunning scenery of the Scottish West Coast. The gallery above will give you a first glance. Allan's commentary throughout will give you a good insight in local, history and nature aspects spiced with a few good laughs and anecdotes.

Purple Heather today at Kerrera marina .
Unfortunately one of the Local Fishing boats that sat behind our berth at the pier for many years "Kyrene" succumbed to the Storm, no one hurt but a piece of History perhaps gone.
Hope everyone is surviving the storm and we'll see you all soon.
Take Care
Allan

Due to predicted Storm Force winds we have cancelled up till Monday at least from now. Today we are preparing our fleet for shelter.
Sorry for any inconvenience. We are hopeful to get some more days in before we head for Annual Maintenance.
