Sail on the 'Swan' LK243

Where: From the Small Boat Harbour, Lerwick
A unique opportunity to undertake a three-hour trip on Shetland's magnificently restored fishing Fifie Swan and to experience what life would have been like on such a vessel in the early 20th century.
The Swan was brought back to Shetland and restored to her former glory by the Swan Trust' in the 1990's, having been rescued from a state of decay in Hartlepool harbour. She now holds a proud and very active place as a significant part of Shetland's maritime heritage, undertaking regular sail-training excursions, while also featuring as the islands representative in many of the annual Tall Ship's races.
At least six fare-paying passengers will be required before any trip can proceed.
Costs: Adults (18+) £20.00 / Youths (12-17) £15.00 / Children (under 11) - £12.00
