Nice boat trip! Was raining heavily when I went on this trip, so was a great way to pass the time and still feel like I was experiencing the area. Recommend if this happens to you! Guide filled us in with tons of interesting facts and made sure we saw wildlife- several seals in this case. Hostess was terrific too serving us hot drinks. Enjoyed this!

Nice tour with very nice and funny staff telling about the city, water, nature and so much more. It’s quite cold so bring extra clothes. We did see seals but it was a small part of the tour. So do it for all the other amazing things as well.

We were particularly lucky to enjoy dry weather but the temperature was still quite cool. Added to the sea breeze we needed to ensure we were well wrapped up. I would suggest a woollen hat to wear and a pair of gloves. We saw some seals which was fabulous and the crew were wonderful. We thoroughly enjoyed our trip and highly recommend it.

Parking nearby in a metered car park was easy enough but the ticket office seemed to have been demoted to a small storage container but probably as a result of the storm so no issues and all clearly marked. Young crew who were more than capable and experienced. Good boat trip taking in the Seal Island and lots of information about the surrounding area.

This boat trip was awesome. The weather was horrid but we wrapped up and enjoyed it anyway. The helmswoman was funny and really informative and made the trip interesting. We didn't see any seals unfortunately but was still worth it. Highly recommended, wrap up and enjoy whatever the weather.

Great way to see the fantastic scenery around the Loch. Goes without saying to wrap up well this time of year. Crew are great, very informative. Well worth the money

The trip was brilliant. The 2 skippers Daragh and Dana where amazing they explained everything to all passengers as we travelled round even stopping to see the animals . If you go on the cruise during autumn , you need to wrap up as it gets really cold .

Very informative, interesting and entertaining. A good (but cold!) way to spend a couple of hours seeing the most stunning scenery and seal watching.

This is a great tour to take advantage of being by the loch while in Fort William. The crew/captain/tour guide were great - very knowledgable and clever. It was really neat to see all the seals so close, chilling on the little island. We also saw some porpoises and a beautiful rainbow. We learned a lot about the town and region as well.

Booked ahead , but, low season so not crowded - plenty of room both inside and out on deck. Started off with a hot chocolate -thank you Owen and skipper was a young lady , Daere , really enthusiastic and full of information . Binoculars were available to use plus useful guide as to wildlife -we actually saw a sea eagle perched atop the salmon farm . What a huge pity about the 75,000 farmed salmon escaping ! We got quite close to Seal Island and there saw seals and several sea birds enjoying the sunshine . Would thoroughly recommend the cruise - really enjoyed the 2 hours and learnt a lot ! Very friendly staff !
