Owners of Tourism Business, large and small, mingled with some of the biggest names in the Highland Business World at a glittering tourism awards event at the Drumossie Hotel, Inverness on Friday 21st November. During this high profile event, Isle of Skye Yachts was given a special award for an outstanding contribution to Highland Tourism.
Based at Ardvasar, Isle of Skye Yachts offers yacht charter in Scotland, and the judges identified this business as outstanding in many ways, and worthy of a special award. They admired the way the owners had systematically developed every aspect of the business over a period of years on the basis of quality and customer satisfaction, and had showed an unerring dedicated focus on the detail of management, alongside a desire to deliver exceptional holidays for the customer.
The judges respected the deep, rural location of the operation, and how it valued and carefully utilised the natural environment. They felt there were lessons to be learnt from the way Isle of Skye Yachts had sought to extend the season, along with an innovative approach to business development.
Charmian Entwistle of Isle of Skye Yachts said: "We are delighted and honoured to receive such a prestigious award, and would like to thank our staff, customers and everyone else who has helped towards achieving this accolade."
