Guideliner and Crew

Guideliner & the Crew

Guideliner at Treshnish

Guideliner is a 57 ft twin engine steel motor cruiser, originally built in Holland as a live aboard pleasure yacht. She has accommodation for a maximum of ten passengers and two crew, although we restrict numbers to six guests except when a group booking requires more. The large saloon has excellent panoramic views whilst the spacious aft deck is an ideal place to sit in comfort and watch the world go by. It is also where the evening meal is taken when the weather allows.

Guideliner has two twin berth cabins and one double, so privacy on board is assured. All have opening windows to allow natural light and ventilation and the whole yacht is centrally heated. Cabin bookings are taken on a first come, first served basis as there is no supplement for the double berth.

The motor yacht is capable of up to 11 knots maximum speed although we tend to cruise at between eight and ten knots. This allows swift inter-island passages, and also means we have the ability to adjust our course if we hear news of interesting wildlife such as whales, dolphins or basking sharks. Should the weather conditions be inclement then we are able to reduce passage times to a minimum, or else quickly seek shelter should that be required. This all adds to the overall comfort of the trip.

As you would expect and as is required by law, Guideliner is comprehensively equipped, and is certified by the Marine Coastguard Agency to the safety standards necessary for the remote areas we visit.

Having joined the team in 2007 and sharing the work with David Leaver is Tony Dalton. Tony will be taking over the business in 2008 and will continue to build on the great work that david has done.

Tony is also a commercial Yachtmaster as well as being a keen amateur naturalist and photographer. An ex RAF pilot, he has recently been working as a part time airline pilot, before joining the team. Raised in Stornoway, Isle of Lewis, he has a long family connection with the Western Isles and the way of life there.

Tony has been working closely with David over the next last couple of years to ensure the continuation of the excellent standard of wildlife holiday that so many guests have come to enjoy.

Both David and Tony are keen cooks and enjoy helping the crew in providing a standard of cuisine that has found favour with many of our guests in the past.
