John Vickers
John has skippered Aislig Bheag since 2002. As a passionate sailing enthusiast since a boy he has sailed extensively around the West Coast of Scotland with the occasional longer foray to the Faeroes, Norway and the Mediterranean. He became a commercially endorsed yachtmaster offshore in the mid 90's in order that he could enjoy passing on his skills and knowledge of the area to others. He particulary enjoys fostering the friendships that build up among the crew and promoting the confidence in their ability to handle the yacht.

“We both very much enjoyed our cruise. The skipper’s knowledge of the local area was excellent and we both learnt from the experience. The sailing was great with a good variety of places to see both during the day or when we stopped for the night”
