St Hilda Sea Adventures is a charter company offering holiday accommodation and tours in boats moored in Dunstaffnage Marina (near Dunstaffnage Castle) three miles north of Oban, on the west coast of Scotland.[1][2] The boats are used to take small numbers of commercial passengers to often remote bays and waters on the West Coast under a low-impact observational style of tourism.[3][4][5][6][7] Voyage areas include Kyles of Bute, the south Argyll coastline, Bunessan, Ross of Mull and the Isle of Arran.[6] Examples of species that are seen in these waters include sea eagles, basking sharks, orcas and dolphins.[4][7][5]
The company was unable to sail offering tours during the initial months of the COVID-19 pandemic and switched to providing holiday accommodation.[8]
The company is a corporate partner of the Hebridean Whale and Dolphin Trust.[9]

St Hilda was built in St Monans in Fife in 1973 as a sail training ship, repurposed for her current use and sleeps up to six people.[3][10] Seahorse II is a former Norwegian ferry and sleeps eleven guests.[5][2] Gemini Explorer is a former cruising lifeboat built on the River Clyde, and has berths for eight.[2][11]
