Dream job on offer to captain boat trips in Outer Herbrides

Have you ever dreamed of swapping the hustle and bustle of the city for a peaceful life by the sea on the stunning Scottish coast? Well, we might have found the perfect job for you.

A tour guide company based on the Isle of Lewis is looking for a part time skipper for their organised boat trips and it sounds like the ideal way to spend your summer.

Seatrek posted the advertisement on their Facebook page on Monday, along with a clip of what the lucky candidate can expect from the job - from fishing the waters around Uig to scenic tours taking in idyllic views of Reef Beach and Cliff Bay. You could even find yourself getting up close and personal with some of Scotland’s native mammals and birds.
