Solo travel on a sailing holiday in scotland

A holiday aboard Provident is great for solo adventurers. With a maximum of 12 people on board, including the crew, you’ll enjoy a friendly atmosphere without ever feeling lost in a crowd. Whether you prefer the privacy of your own cabin or are happy to share with a fellow guest, you’ll have the freedom to tailor the experience to suit your style.

Sailing offers the perfect blend of companionship and independence. You can get hands-on with the crew, helping to hoist the sails, steer the boat, or share in the daily tasks, making you feel part of the team. If you’re craving a bit of solitude, there’s plenty of space to find your own quiet corner. Sit on deck with a good book or just enjoy the amazing views, letting the motion of the boat, the passing scenery, and surrounding wildlife lull you into a wonderful calm.

Throughout the journey, you’ll have the chance to join trips ashore, exploring remote coves, wild headlands, or charming island villages. Whether you fancy a leisurely stroll along a secluded beach, a more energetic hill walk or maybe a dram of whiskey in the pub, the variety of shore excursions offers something for every mood.

After a day of adventure, you’ll return to the comfort of Provident, where you can relax with a delicious, locally sourced meal and share stories with your fellow travellers. The cosy deckhouse provides a welcoming space to unwind, while the sea breeze and gentle sway of the boat create the perfect setting for a peaceful evening.

There’s something special about the wee community on a boat.  Maybe something as simple as “being in the same boat” brings a sense of being together and camaraderie.

For those seeking adventure, relaxation, a touch of solitude but with the opportunity to be part of the crew, a holiday aboard Provident offers the perfect escape. Check out our voyages page to find an adventure that suits you.
