We had read about the Jacobite cruises but called in on the off chance, to find that we could get on the 2 hour cruise down the Loch and back with less than a half an hour wait. The booking facility on site was quick and easy and the quality of the merchandise on offer in the shop was very good. Once on board the comfortable vessel we set sail and enjoyed an on board hot chocolate and coffee as we watched the beautiful setting of the Loch pass by. The commentary was interesting and entertaining without being intrusive and you are free to wander in and out of the main cabin to make sure that you get the best possible photo opportunity. The views of Urquhart castle were beautiful and we were very lucky with the sunshine. When we returned we had lunch in the cafe which was freshly cooked and prepared and also of great quality. The only disappointment….no sighting of Nessie.

Relaxing! Had a gorgeous day. Learned some tidbits. No Nessie, but loved the stories. Great opportunities to take pictures.

The boat was comfortable and the staff was great! Especially Malcom the guide. Highly recommend. The hot chocolate with a dram hit the spot.

Self checkin, clean and convenient. We were in the family / Loch Ness room. Beds were comfortable including the kids bunk beds, bathroom spotlessly clean and we had an amazing view over the canal / lochs including a balcony. We were delighted!

Such a great experience in the Highlands! We loved the indoor/ outdoor seating and Scottish hot chocolate. It was an incredible and informative excursion that I’m glad we booked!

Beautiful 2 hour cruise, the views were stunning. All very well organised, excellent commentary (including several dad jokes) and very polite friendly crew. Cooper says thank you for all his dog treats! Only disappointment....didn't see Nessie!
