A lovely experience I would highly recommend. Friendly knowledgeable staff (the two Ds) shared information and jokes as we sailed ensuring everyone got the perfect photo. The sun was out and the views were amazing!

Lovely evening on the water. The crew was knowledgeable and responsive. Boat was stocked with drinks and snacks. Be prepared for wind.

Carl was an amazing captain who shared so much information about highland history during our sail. He mentioned various activities not to miss in Fort William that had us wishing we had booked more days here. The scenery was gorgeous especially snowcapped Ben Nevis.

Great evening boat cruise...

Great evening boat cruise the D girl crew was very excellent. Commentary was fun and informative. The only issue was they ran out of drinks.

Excellent evening cruise

Kathleen_W, Aug 2025
Lovely way to spend an hour and a half, cruising on a mill pond loch, or two, surrounded by lovely scenery, would recommend

Weather dependant but you can stay dry down stairs

Great way to spend evening

JOHN_M, Apr 2025
Great way to get out on the Loch and appreciate the surrounding countryside. Interesting info given about various sughts throughout the trip and into Scottish history

An enchanting evening

Deidre_D, Sep 2024
We had a fantastic time on your evening cruise. The captain and "first mate" were charming and so knowledgeable, while also being very entertaining. The most memorable part for me was steering the ship!

Evening cruise of Loch Linnhe

Meg_S, Jun 2024
The boat ride was terrific! The captain was great. He was told us all about the history of the area and had quite a funny way about him. It was a beautiful evening which also made the evening that much more enjoyable. I would definetely recommend the cruise of Loch Linnhe.

A lovely relaxing trip

Bonitas vistas

Yolanda_P, Aug 2024
Estuvimos en Julio. Tal como comentan en su web, las explicaciones del capitán son solo en Inglés. No tuvimos la suerte de avistar focas o delfines (es más probable verlos en primavera y otoño, aunque a veces se ven en otras épocas). Si vas en la planta de arriba hay que cubrirse bien la zona de las orejas, por el viento. De todos modos en l parte de abajo hay una zona bunquerizada donde resguardarse del frío/viento.
