Why Choose Us

What makes us different

We stand out from the crowd so to speak, just by our sheer scale. There are a few options to choose from when considering a cruise round Scotland. From large scale cruise liners to converted fishing boats. We saw a need for a more intimate option with an emphasis on one to one service but in the comfort of our luxury 130 feet, tri deck super yacht. With passenger numbers limited to twelve, this allows our guests to never feel crowded, giving the experience of a larger size vessel.
Unlike most, if not all other cruise vessels, when you book and pay for a ticket on board The Spirit of Fortitude, you can transfer or gift your ticket to your own guest free of charge, if you find that circumstances have changed and you just simply can’t make the trip. We know things can change, even last minute but we don’t want you to feel out of pocket.
There are a lot of people who are on their own as single travellers and do not wish to be charged a supplementary rate for their private cabin. We allocate our 2 lesser priced cabins for the option of single or double occupancy allowing the single occupant to pay only what is equal to 1 person, without incurring a surcharge. These cabins are still very large cabins and are larger than most available on comparable vessels in Scotland.
Due to our size, we are required to carry much more safety equipment than vessels smaller than we are, yet we still only carry 12 passengers, this gives our passengers that addtitional peace of mind.
Our master suite is located on the main level, so there are no stairs to go up and down on a regular basis, making it easier for access.
Due to the size of our small ship, we can get into place’s larger vessels would struggle, it also allows us access into most harbours, as well allowing the fascinating journey through the Caledonian Canal, the great glen cutting through the heart of Scotland. We operate from two locations, from Greenock near Glasgow, and from Oban in Argyll.

Our Cruise Reviews

Willie MacPherson .

Caves, Clans & Castles

The Riviera meets the Highlands! 100% escape from the rigours of life and no hesitation on recommending this fabulous little ship to anyone. I particularly liked the Whisky bar with its great views and warm tweed and tartan decor. The cabin was most comfortable, and large in size with the luxury of organic Scottish handmade products within. The food was first class and could not be faulted and the crew were very informative as well as entertaining.

Andrew & Dorris Patton

The Kyles of Bute

We both really enjoyed our short break on the Spirit of Fortitude. We would certainly repeat this experience, next time we would consider Oban also. We enjoyed our time with the other guests as well as the informative crew. Daniel the steward was a very interesting and pleasant person , The engineer was full of informative information and the food was at an excellent standard. Overall a very involved crew and with a highly rated Captain.
