ATLANTA, GA (April 20, 2006) – Golfers planning the ultimate buddies trip or an exclusive couples getaway to the British Isles now have a new mode of distinctive transportation to consider with PerryGolf’s introduction of the M/S Fyne Spirit.
The 12-passenger Fyne Spirit, which recently underwent an eight-month, multimillion-dollar renovation in Liverpool and Glasgow, will sail the waters of southwest Scotland and Northern Ireland from Inverary, Scotland, dropping anchor for passengers to play a customized itinerary of courses and then return to the clubby comforts of the 110-foot ship under Luxembourg registry. The ship, which features a private lounge and dining area, carries a crew of nine and stocks an impressive selection of wines, malt whiskies and cigars.
"I believe we’ve just upped the ante for a group of guys who want buddies trip bragging rights, or for couples who enjoy a stylish yet very comfortable golf trip," said Gordon Dalgleish, president of PerryGolf, which has been managing luxury golf tours for discerning travelers for more than 20 years. "It’s hard to imagine a more exclusive and enjoyable experience than what the Fyne Spirit will afford."
Because of the proximity of many of the most desirable courses along the coasts of southwest Scotland and Northern Ireland, sailing distances will be short on most trips and often will take place in the late afternoon or early morning. After a day of golf, passengers will have the option of returning to the ship for a delicious meal and the camaraderie of a small group of friends or exploring a new port of call and the pubs of Troon, Portrush and Campbeltown.
Based on a sample itinerary including seven nights onboard the Fyne Spirit and six rounds of golf at courses such as Royal Troon, Prestwick, Machrie, Royal Portrush and Machrihanish, per passenger cost ranges from $5,575 to $7,295, depending on the number in the traveling party.
