Calum's Seal Trips — the Argus

Sail to the Seals and view the finest scenery in the world with Calum's Seal Trips, the original Plockton Seal Trip and the longest established boat trip operator in Skye and Lochalsh.

Free if no seals. See my guarantee below.

‘Sadly, during a winter storm, the Argus broke its moorings and foundered on the shores of Loch Kishorn. But the good news is that I have a new boat, the Sula Mhor, which is bigger, faster and has better viewing areas.’  Calum

Wide range of crafts and gifts with a nautical flavour at our shop Hidden Treasures (in the office).
calum's guarantee . . .
'To see seals or any wildlife in their natural environment cannot always be guaranteed, because that is nature at its very best. But for 20 years now, I have been running trips and I am confident of finding seals somewhere. If not, a full refund will be given (it's no wonder I ain't rich). With a bit of luck, you may see an otter or two. The views across to the Isle of Skye and the Applecross mountains are unforgettable, and well worth the trip alone.'
