Sailing whenever we can we will aim for the perfect balance between exploration and relaxation. You’ll have the chance to experience the rugged beauty of the Hebridean islands, venture ashore to explore places rarely visited by others, walk along deserted beaches, wander far from the beaten path and discover the traces of long lost island communities. We can spot incredible wildlife, from soaring sea eagles to inquisitive seals and watch the amazing sea birds as they fly into their breeding grounds for the spring and summer months.
In midsummer it hardly gets dark. A sunset in a west facing bay at 11 o’clock at night with a dram in hand is a mystical experience. When night finally falls, far from artificial lights, you’ll be treated to a breath-taking display of stars, with the dark night sky stretching endlessly overhead.
After a day of adventure, retreat to our cosy deckhouse, where you can relax with your crew mates and try one of the local beers, gins inspired by the botanicals of the seashore and whisky (of course!) All our meals are cooked from scratch and our talented chefs will amaze you with what they can magic up from the tiny galley. Evenings are spent round the big saloon table where you can swap stories of the day and plot the next adventure. Need some time to yourself? Our four small but perfectly formed and comfortable cabins accommodate 8 to 10 guests. Book your own, share with a friend or make a new one.
We look forward to welcoming you aboard our lovely ship - Provident.
Whether you’re seeking adventure, wildlife encounters, or simply a peaceful escape, Provident offers an unforgettable journey where nature takes centre stage. No sailing experience is necessary—just a sense of adventure and a love for the great outdoors.
There’s nothing quite like the sense of freedom and wellbeing that comes from setting sail, leaving the stresses of modern life behind, and immersing yourself in the beauty of the open sea. On board Provident, you’ll sail through clear blue waters, discover hidden anchorages, explore remote islands and enjoy the simple pleasures of life at sea.
A Provident holiday will appeal to those of you who want to tread lightly on our planet. Our adventures under sail offer the perfect holiday for the eco-tourists amongst you who want to travel under sail and explore some of Scotland’s unspoiled beauty.

BELOW DECKS OF PROVIDENT
Provident has four twin cabins. We welcome groups of any size up to a maximum of ten. We want to welcome solo travellers. If you are travelling alone we will discuss who you might share with. If you would like a cabin to yourself, please let us know as there will be a 50% surcharge. Pictures here.
Alternatively we also have two micro cabins in the saloon. These are usually used by the crew and they give a lot of privacy with sliding doors and plenty of storage. If you think you would prefer one of these to sharing with an unknown person please get in touch.
The forepeak is our biggest cabin. It could be suitable for guests with extra physical needs. It has a small double, a standard single and an additional single going cross-wise. This cabin could be booked by a group of three or even a family of four. The additional bunk can only be booked by a group along with the two other bunks. The price for a group of three; is three for the price of two and a half. I.e. the third place is half price. For a family of four please contact us to discuss your booking.
Our narrowest bunk is 60cm in width. Please consider if this will be ok for you. If you are concerned about this, please let us know as we have wider bunks available (subject to availability).
You may want to book the whole boat for a group of friends who have a plan. For example we could take a group of walkers, wild swimmers, divers or bird watchers. Call us if you would like to discuss this.
