Cruising guide to Shetland’s harbours, marinas and anchorages

Covers pilotage across the Shetland Islands – from summer sailing to the fire-lit spectacle of Up Helly Aa, with detailed local advice and charts.

Well known to ancient Norse mariners, the Shetland Islands offer a fascinating cruising ground for today’s less warlike sailors. There are numerous beautiful, if sometimes rugged anchorages, many harbours and several marinas – all of which create a variety that ensures that one visit to these islands will not be the last.

Natural scenery aside, Shetland’s ongoing drive to attract tourism includes a strong appreciation for visiting yachts. This, coupled with the natural and very welcoming grace of the Shetland people, ensures a warm and lasting welcome.

Summer is the prime time to cruise these islands, and their northerly location means near-constant daylight – making both sightseeing and pilotage more enjoyable. Summer also brings local festivals full of activity, races, and waterborne hilarity. But winter holds its own appeal: the legendary ‘Up Helly Aa’ fire festival in January is not to be missed.

Gordon Buchanan knows the Shetland Islands from visits over many years and presents detailed pilotage information on reaching and cruising this remote and rewarding area.
