There are several options for boat trips from Portree. The Spindrift is the only one I can wholeheartedly recommend.
The owners, crew, guides, caterers and hosts are all the same two people - and you couldn't wish for better. Kevin and Pam will look after you well. The Spindrift herself is stylish and comfortable, with seating in the main cabin round a big table as well as on the foredeck and up on the flybridge at the very top - making the most of the views and giving the best opportunities for spotting the abundant wildlife in the area. You can often see puffins, golden eagles, sea eagles, seals, basking sharks and porpoise on a trip along the Sound of Raasay, together with some amazing coast and mountain scenery. If you are lucky you can encounter otters and minke whales too.
As well as private charters and summer sunset cruises, the Spindrift offers frequent trips to both Raasay and Rona, each of which is quite magical in its own way. The schedule allows time ashore to explore some of the highlights of these islands.
To cap it all, tea and coffee is offered along with the biggest selection of chocolate biscuits I've ever seen outside a supermarket!
