We went to St Kilda on a 57 foot boat holding only seven people and were lucky that the weather was relatively good. In fact when we arrived it was their first sunny day in two months. It is not safe to anchor in the bay during bad weather and, should the wind and sea become fierce, one must move... More

You must take seasick tablets, its a long journey in a small boat in sometime rough seas but so very much worth it.
