Your Guides

We grew up right here in the Western Isles. These waters are home to us - we know the hidden corners, the way the tides move, and where to spot our amazing wildlife. We've spent years on fishing boats and ferries, navigating the Sound of Harris in all sorts of weather. We look forward to sharing our backyard with you!

Our Boat, Pabbay Lass

Meet Pabbay Lass, our specially equipped 11.2m catamaran built for us in 2025 by Cheetah Marine on the Isle of Wight and powered by twin 200hp OXE Marine diesel outboard engines from UK distributor Proteum. Built and designed to explore the Harris coast.

With comfortable seating both inside and out, twin engines for safety, and space for up to 12 passengers, she's ideal for wildlife watching above and below the waves thanks to our IRIS underwater camera. We've equipped her with everything for a perfect day at sea - from binoculars to a hot drinks station, toilet, and a robust 4-man tender for island landings when you want to drop anchor and explore. Full safety equipment is on board including liferafts.
