Boat cruises on Loch Ness

Enjoy a leisurely cruise on Loch Ness, or a much faster powerboat cruise with Cruise Loch Ness, based in Fort Augustus.

Caledonian Discovery offers cruising holidays on Loch Ness and all the way down to Fort William through the Caledonian Canal. Their established Fingal Cruising barge provides a variety of activities during the week-long cruise including walking, cycling and watersports.

Cruise Loch Ness
provides boat trips and cruises on Loch Ness departing from Fort Augustus. MV Royal Scot is only 50 minutes from Fort William. Based on the Caledonian Canal, she cruises Loch Ness to explore the wildlife and scenery from the most famous of Highland lochs. Loch Ness is 23 miles long, over one mile wide and 750 feet deep in places.

You can enjoy a Loch Ness Cruise for a special occasion, a business away-day, a stag or hen party, or just to get away for the day and enjoy the experience. The Royal Scot is an approved venue for civil weddings, so if you are thinking of planning a Highland Wedding, we offer a unique opportunity. Onboard we have heated saloon for 60 passengers, an upper deck, bar facilities and light snacks, toilets and a souvenir shop.

Loch Ness is an easy one hour journey to Fort Augustus and the south shore of Loch Ness.
