Join �Argyll Sundowner� as she explores the marine wildlife and natural environment within the Firth of Lorn � a maritime European Special Area of Conservation and a Scottish National Scenic Beauty Area. It's also a candidate for Scotland's first Coastal and Marine National Park.

See Common and Atlantic Grey seals, porpoises and occasionally dolphins playing in the boat�s wake. Look out for Red and Fallow Deer on the Island of Scarba and Sea Eagles in the cliffs or soaring above the island.

Marvel at the cliff-edge waterfalls and other stunning natural features of the islands in this area and pass by the famous lighthouse on Fladda � now automatic but once home to a lighthouse keeper.

When the tidal and weather conditions are right we�ll pass through the Gulf of Corryvreckan crossing the whirlpools at slack water. When the Gulf is �roaring� we�ll admire this treacherous stretch of water from a safe distance.

You'll also enjoy champagne and canap�s at anchor in a quiet bay - perhaps within the Gulf itself - and we'll have you back ashore in time for a late lunch.

Departure: 10.00 Return: 14.00

Cost: £49� inclusive of drinks, canap�s, hot beverages etc.

Avoid the winding road south by car and let �Argyll Sundowner� take the historic sea route to Crinan. This cruise takes you to the natural harbour at the entrance to the Crinan Canal, which is also the location for the Crinan Hotel � one of Scotland�s most scenic hotels. We can tie up at Crinan to give you time to explore the Canal Basin or to enjoy lunch ashore at the Crinan Hotel, but if the sun is shining we might have lunch on board enjoying the marvellous views out towards the Sound of Jura and the islands of Scarba and Mull.

On the return journey we pass close by the Garvellach Islands. The early Christian community that once lived on the island is long gone but some interesting ruins remain.

Take the kids ashore for an hour or so to find their favourite character�s homes and familiar locations from the telly!
