Enjoy a fascinating boat trip around the worlds biggest natural harbour

Come aboard the Sheila C and experience the beautiful views of the largest natural harbour in the world. From sea birds, seals and the occasional whale to the sea defenses that made Scapa Flow the ideal harbour for the Royal Navy's home fleet during both World Wars and the last resting place of the German High Sea's Fleet which were scuttled on the 21st of June 1919.

 

Sheila C is a 23 feet (7m) Scallop dive boat which is powered by twin 90 horsepower outboard engines and is capable of speeds of around 30 knots. She can carry up to six passengers comfortably for excursions round the Flow.

The Sheila C is available year round for site seeing or fishing trips weather permitting.

As well as working from her home port of Burray the Sheila C can also be launched from the slips at St.Mary's, Scapa, Houton or Stromness depending on which sites you wish to see.
