Planning a cruise? Below are some suggested itineraries & trails for you to try out. If you have been to the MalinWaters region before and would like to suggest an itinerary for others to try out, contact us we would love to share your experience with others.
The crossing from Campbeltown to Rathlin or Ballycastle is 34 miles, or from the anchorage at Sanda only 22 miles. It’s essential to make this crossing on the north- and westgoing tide, since the tide runs at 4 to 5 knots at the Mull of Kintyre and up to 6 knots in Rathlin Sound.
This is a beautiful cruising ground with a combination of inshore and offshore sailing amid wonderful and varied scenery. The channels among the southern Hebrides offer a number of alternative routes.
This cruise needs three weeks for detailed exploration but will fit into a fortnight. There are visitors’ moorings at Culdaff, but most yachts make the 42-mile trip from Portrush or Coleraine to Lough Swilly in a single voyage.
