About Royal Star WHS

An elegant and classic design for this wonderful cruiser with double steering position. The Royal Star WHS is not recommended for anyone with limited mobility.

Please note: Boats in our Scottish fleet ending with ‘WHS’ were previously operated by West Highland Sailing, and are older than boats from our regular budget fleet. This is reflected in the price.

The whole expirience was great from start to finish from checking , which was handled really well even with all the Covid restriction that were in place. The training from a very friendly member of the staff. A fabulous holiday that I would recommend to anyone. Very well equipped boat with loads of space both inside and out. You get a great view from the upper driving position.
