Some great footage featuring Far West, our second Stormforce 1150 who we welcomed to our Venture West fleet from Redbay Boats earlier this year. 🧡🧡🧡 #redbayboats #teamredbay #visitscotland #corryvreckan #corryvreckanwhirlpool #soundofjura #scottishholiday #boattrip #scottishtourism #argyllsecretcoast #wildaboutargyll #heartofargyll #crinan #crinancanal #jura #isleofjura

We’ve been enjoying some lovely September sun this last week or so, which after the summer we’ve all had, we have been soaking up! Huge thank you to @wildwestscotland who wandered 50 yards down the road yesterday to join us on one of our trips. In her own words, “sometimes there’s nothing better than playing tourist in your own neighbourhood, especially with all this on your doorstep” and we couldn’t agree more. 🧡There’s something really magical about taking locals out on trips and watching them experience our wonderful area from a different perspective as well as enjoying some well earned time off! 🦭🌀☀️Thanks Niki📸#redbayboats #teamredbay #visitscotland #corryvreckan #corryvreckanwhirlpool #soundofjura #scottishholiday #boattrip #scottishtourism #argyllsecretcoast #wildaboutargyll #heartofargyll #crinan #crinancanal #jura #isleofjura

Dolphin Delay!

Good company on our way home!

There is only one way to settle it? Fight!
