My daughter and i went on the seal island tour in the October school holidays. Amazing trip! Lots of wildlife to see. The captain is really funny and full of interesting and fun facts, also has a super cute dog named molly as co captain. The deck hand was also great with any questions and made a great cup of tea! Got lots of photos and videos of the wildlife, ben nevis, fort william and the surrounding areas. Would highly recommend and would definitely go again.

This was an amazing two hours. You simply have to do this if you stop at Fort William,its breathtaking. We did the 15:30 cruise and the sun was out throughout so we even saw Ben Nevis. The crew were so welcoming and gave really interesting and entertaining commentary during the cruise. Getting sights of the seals at Black Rock was something special. You can buy hot drinks and snacks on board, or even a wee dram if you so wish! One other bit of advice: wrap up warm. It was quite a warm day but considerably colder out on the water. Made some great memories today.

Friendly and professional crew, a lovely couple of hours on the water. You get some really interesting slices of Fort William history, along with some excellent insight into The Highlands. That, plus a great view of the seals and a brilliantly piloted cruise. Well worth the trip.

This wonderful tour of Loch Linne in Fort William by a terrific crew, takes in breathtaking Highland scenery. Just point your camera and click to get some fantastic photos! The commentary was interesting and engaging, I’m really focused on highlighting local unique features. I saw seals at play, fascinating bird life as well as majestic sea and mountain vistas. I really felt this tour was great value for money, and I enjoyed every minute. Highly recommended!

Crew was fun and entertaining. Weather was unsettled, but that's how the weather is in this wet part of the UK. We enjoyed a beautiful rainbow and saw many seals.

There are three different boat trips on offer. We did a 2 hour trip round the loch, and ended at seal island, a rather small island, but with many seals and a variety of seabirds. The crew are friendly (“Anybody want a go at driving?”) and we received a friendly but knowledgeable talk on the history of the area, and description of sights on the way. Comfortable, with drinks available, and toilet. Good value.
