From there you will cruise through the Devil Island Channel as well as the narrow channel between Cove Island and the Otter Islands. This cruise also sails past the light station at Flowerpot Island with the final highlight – a photo opportunity at the two world-famous Flowerpots – before returning to Tobermory Harbour via Middle Island (or “Plucky” as it is known locally)
