Castles. Wildlife. Scenery. History.
Relaxing 1 hour boat trips from Port Appin.

Few places on Scotland’s west coast are more special than Appin, where history and scenery collide. Iconic castles sit on rocky islands teaming with wildlife amid breathtaking mountain views.

Our regular 1 hour tours leave from the pier at Port Appin, a picturesque West Coast village between Oban and Fort William. Journey on a magical sea trip in the comfort and safety of a luxury open RIB – designed to maximise viewing potential. Relax in the company of our friendly and knowledgeable skipper, Alistair, who looks forward to showing you the local attractions and entertaining you with stories of Loch Linnhe’s history.

What you’ll see
Appin Boat Tours are the only company offering a regular approach by sea to the famous Castle Stalker (Castle Aaaaargh to Monty Python fans). On the tour visitors can also expect to see the natural sea arch at Clach Thoull, an iron-age broch on the isle of Lismore, historic lime kilns and the renowned Appin Lighthouse.

Wildlife comes with no guarantee but the islands around Lismore have well established seal colonies, regular sea eagles sightings, resident otters and porpoises. There is a huge range of seabirds including cormorants, shags, eider ducks, guillemots, Artic Tern and Gannets. Let us share this magical place with you on a leisurely and captivating boat journey around the islands.
