WHY CHOOSE GAELIC ROSE?
Gaelic Rose isn’t the biggest or the most luxurious boat in the market. So don’t expect a hostess to make your bed and put a chocolate on your pillow, or a dive guide to assemble your gear for you. Instead expect:
• a boat that’s small enough to let you ashore at jetties other boats can’t get to, but big enough to ride the weather in comfort and safety. And our smaller size means our costs are lower, so we can afford to charge less, saving you money.
• a style of trip to suit you: hands-on or hands-off. You can take an active role in planning and running your holiday or simply relax and let us guide you. Everyone is welcome in the wheelhouse: you can take a turn at the wheel, or just enjoy the scenery and join in the banter: you’re guaranteed to hear at least one joke you haven’t heard before!
• an owner/skipper with decades of experience and outstanding local knowledge: in Norway it’s essential to have a skipper like Bob who has been before and knows exactly where the wrecks are; and Bob’s knowledge of scenic dives on the west coast of Scotland is unrivalled - he’s dived most of it himself in his days as a scallop diver. If you want to explore he can put you on excellent rarely dived sites, including little-known wrecks.
• great food: wholesome, plentiful, tasty, and freshly prepared. We serve hot drinks and snacks after every dive; and you can help yourself to drinks from the galley at any time. Vegetarians and people with food allergies are welcome.
• a boat whose layout has evolved over many years to be optimum for its purpose: a dive deck where you can kit up without bending down whatever your height; a dining table where you can enjoy the companionship of eating with the whole group without being trapped in your seat; move around the ship in bad weather without having to go outside
