Our Crew

BlueWild is a small independent boat tour company sailing enjoyable and exhilarating experiences.

We’re an easy-going crew, dedicated and enthusiastic to ensure that you experience Scottish natural heritage, marine wildlife and our coastal history at its most dramatic.

The BlueWild crew are all local and include qualified marine biologists, outdoor education professionals, experienced nature guides, well qualified MCA/RYA skippers, expert ornitholigists and RNLI and Coastguard volunteers.

We’re passionate about protecting marine environments, reducing marine litter and promoting safety at sea.

Our Boats

We have two boats – both Redbay ‘Stormforce’ RIBs which have a reputation for being robust, high powered sea-going boats built for safety.

Passengers can move between the cabin and outside deck whilst onboard both our boats – especially when close to nature, seabirds, seals – and when sea conditions allow.

Thalassa is a Stormforce Expedition 8.6m, has a compact and spacious cabin fitted with shock-mitigation seating to add high-level comfort to your tour.

BlueTwo (Pabbay) is a twin-engined 11 metre boat with retractable soft-top canopy for flexibility on sunny days.
