If you have you own boat you can join the many hundreds who enjoy sailing to, and around, Shetland each year.

Many sailors arrive from Norway annually, as well as more intrepid voyagers from across the Atlantic, and even a few who have been circumnavigating the globe.

The Round Britain Yacht Race, annual Bergen to Shetland Race and the numerous sailing visitors from all over the world ensure that Lerwick is a popular and lively port of call for all sorts of vessels.

Well-charted waters, safe anchorages, accessible harbours and a rich maritime heritage make Shetland an ideal cruising-ground for sailors.
