THE LITTLE RED BOAT

ABOUT

​The Little Red Boat is a family-run seafood business on the Isle of Muck, led by local fisherman Sandy Mathers and his wife, Vicky. Sandy's deep-rooted connection to the sea began in childhood, fishing with his grandfather using handmade wooden creels. After gaining experience creel fishing off Muck's coast, he fulfilled his dream of owning his own vessel, aptly named The Little Red Boat.

In November 2022, a severe storm destroyed the original Little Red Boat while it was moored. The local community and supporters rallied together, enabling Sandy to acquire a new vessel, the Heather Belle, ensuring the continuation of their sustainable fishing operations. ​

HOW TO ORDER

The Little Red Boat provides live and ready-to-eat shellfish, freshly caught off the Isle of Muck. Choose from delicious lobster, brown crab, and langoustines—all sustainably sourced and sold locally to residents, visitors, and businesses in Muck, Mallaig, and Arisaig.

If you're visiting the Isle of Muck, get in touch with Sandy or Vicky and treat yourself to the finest shellfish straight from the rich, cold waters of Scotland.
