      Birthday treat

      Bob_P, May 2026
      I arranged this for my partner's significant birthday as she loves being on the water. Neither of us have sailing experience but that didn't matter. What a fantastic day we enjoyed, Raymond and Laura went above and beyond to give us a day to remember, even providing an after lunch birthday cake. And what a lunch it was, a sharing seafood platter which we were able to eat above deck in the sunshine. The yacht itself, Chinwag, was a pleasure to be aboard, sleek and comfortable. We took full advantage of being able to steer her under both sail and power, absolutely wonderful for two novices. Raymond and Laura were the perfect, easy going, friendly hosts and gave us a day we will always remember.

      Oh What A Day!

      We love Scotland, having been first attracted by the Coos, but then wonderful, genuine and friendly people. Laura and Raymond McIntosh brought that to the next level. Both are talented sailors and Laura a particularly talented chef. The day was a complete joy, sailing the waters around Oban and feasting like royalty. If they have an open date, book it!

      Do this trip!

      Bucket List

      Clayton_C, Jul 2024
      Bucket list item checked off. Absolutely an amazing experience. Raymond and Laura were so welcoming when the brought us aboard “Chin Wag”. Chin Wag is a beautiful boat. We got to help crew her and the sites were amazing. The food incredible. All I need now is to buy my own sail boat. Thanks so much for this experience.

      Response from Host, Jul 2024

      It was absolutely our pleasure. We really enjoyed meeting you all and so glad the weather played ball. Enjoy your boat when it arrives 😂

      A very enjoyable day of sailing

      Yvonne_K, Jun 2023
      Laura and Raymond were our hosts for a really nice day on their boat, the Chinwag. Raymond was so patient with Jim and I, showing us how to steer the boat etc. Laura did so much, I couldn't keep track of it all. I do know that she made us a fabulous lunch and was warm and welcoming. We will remember this day of sailing for a long time. Thanks to you both from Yvonne and Jim. ❤️❤️

      Magical day on the water

      THERESA_K, May 2023
      I had the most magical day with Captain Raymond and his first mate, Laura. Their kindness and attention to detail, including safety, was most appreciated. The fresh seafood lunch was scrumptious. I learned so much about the Isles and about sailing. Just do it, you won’t regret it!
