ONE OR TWO HOUR BOAT TRIPS ON LOCH EWE

Embark on a Voyage of Discovery in Scotland's Wild Waters

Join West Highland Marine for an exhilarating wildlife boat tour, led by local scallop diver and fisherman Jamie Elder.

With over 30 years of experience exploring the waters of Scotland's West coast, Jamie knows these sea lochs like the back of his hand.

Whether you're a nature lover, photographer, or just looking for a unique experience, our tours offer breathtaking encounters with marine life and seabirds in their natural habitat.

Departing from Inverew Garden, Loch Ewe, you'll have the chance to witness Scotland's incredible wildlife - from the depths below to the skies above.

Meet the Skipper

Welcome 'aboard'! I'm Jamie, skipper of Striker, and a lifelong seafarer. My father and I have spent over 50 years navigating Loch Ewe, both recreationally and commercially.

Out here, every trip is an adventure, and I love sharing my knowledge, passion and a few good stories with those who come aboard.

From hauling fishing creels to spotting eagles soaring overhead, I'll make sure you experience the best of Scotland's wild coast. While we can't guarantee wildlife sighting - after all, nature has its own schedule - if anyone can find them, I can!

Jamie,
Skipper of Striker
