No sailing experience necessary just an appetite for adventure and a taste for new experiences

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. Aboard Provident, you’ll glide through crystal-clear blue waters, discover hidden anchorages, and enjoy the simple pleasures of life at sea—kicking back with your feet up, savoring fabulous locally sourced meals, and sharing stories with fellow guests after a day on the waves.

Our eco-tourism adventures under sail offer the perfect balance of exploration and relaxation. You’ll have the chance to experience the rugged beauty of the Hebridean Islands, venturing ashore to explore remote, unspoiled landscapes rarely visited by others. Walk along deserted beaches, wander far from the beaten path, and spot incredible wildlife, from soaring sea eagles to inquisitive seals.

In the north, enjoy the magic of long summer days, where the sun lingers late into the evening, giving you even more time to take in the spectacular scenery. And when night finally falls, far from artificial lights, you’ll be treated to a breathtaking 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 in comfort with a drink in hand. Our four comfortable cabins accommodate 8 to 10 guests, creating a welcoming and intimate atmosphere perfect for sharing tales of the day’s discoveries.

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.

We look forward to welcoming you aboard.
