The Mousa Boat

We regret to inform all our guests and clients that Mousa Boat will not be open for 2020 season We can promise you a warm welcome aboard the Mousa Boat on your journey to explore the enchanting island of Mousa. With its magnificent Iron Age Broch and wonderful wildlife this really is the perfect place for visitors to experience the essential nature of Shetland. We operate regular sailings and tours; a Daytime Island Trip and a Late Evening Storm Petrel Trip, or if you prefer something more leisurely we also run fascinating Short Cruises around the local waters, trips to Noss for the spectacular bird watching and Whale watching charters, Whichever sailing you choose, and many do both trips, please don’t leave it to the last day of your visit to Shetland as all sailings are weather dependent, and we know you wouldn’t want to miss the experience of visiting Mousa.
