PerryGolf's Private Mega-Yacht
Cruise of Scotland Offers Best of Links
Golf, Historic Sights for 12 Guests
Meticulously Restored Harmony II Cruises
To Machrihanish, Royal Dornoch, Castle
Stuart
Wilmington, NC (June 1, 2009) - Golf and
cruising combine in luxurious style on two
PerryGolf tours along the western coast of
Scotland in July. Harmony II, a 189-foot
mega-yacht, will carry only 12 guests each on
two sailings, July 20-27 and July 26-Aug. 3. The
meticulously restored steel-built vessel will
stop for links golf and sightseeing at some of
Scotland's best known courses and most historic
sights.
The seven-night private-yacht tours featuring
six rounds of golf are managed by PerryGolf, a
leader among golf and luxury lifestyle tour
operators for the past 25 years. The
all-inclusive, per golfer price of $8,895
includes twin/double stateroom accommodations,
all onboard meals, open bar onboard Harmony II,
guaranteed tee times, golf green fees, ground
transportation, fuel charges and port taxes. The
non-golfer tour price is $8,495.
Golf highlights include Machrihanish, considered
one of the hidden gems of the British Isles;
Royal Dornoch, northernmost of Scotland's great
links courses; The Machrie, a stunning links
course set on the Isle of Islay; and the highly
anticipated Castle Stuart, which opens on July
13.
The Kintyre Trail, including the charming
fishing village of Tarbert; the Isle of Islay,
famous for its eight working whisky
distilleries; and Culloden Battlefield, the
scene of the last major battle fought on
mainland Britain between the French-supported
Jacobites and the Hanoverian British Government
in 1745; are among the sights that make the tour
as memorable for non-golfers as their golfing
counterparts.
The tour begins at Troon on the Ayrshire coast
and concludes at Inverness in the heart of the
Scottish Highlands. (The itinerary is reversed
for the July 26 - Aug. 3 tour.)
Harmony II, first launched in 1954, has been
fully restored over the last six years. The
restoration included a total internal and
external refitting with the installation of new
engines and the replacement of 85 metric tons of
hull plating.
