This is not a genuine booking, but a scam. Notice the words 'within your sailing location' - the scammer will have sent out many mails like this to the list of email addresses that he has - and does not necessarily know where 'your sailing location' is.
Notice also the telephone number beginning +4470 - all telephone numbers beginning with +4470 are not normal UK telephone numbers, but are redirect numbers, redirecting all calls to a mobile phone almost anywhere in the world. A genuine Scalloway telephone number would begin +4415.
