We expected a history lesson on Loch Ness. This was basically a crowded quick boat trip. A recording played.. but you could not hear it with noise from the boat, wind and other passengers. This needed a person on a microphone talking to the crowd.
Thank you for being so accommodating when we missed our 2pm slot, I went to the wrong harbour. But Jacobite Cruises checked us onto the 3pm cruise instead and we had a wonderful time enjoying the views. Their help was very much appreciated it made my mum’s day 💕
Great trip, highly recommend. Really good guide/skipper, great information during the trip, he made it fun and informative. Nice boat. Well worth the cost.

Great trip, lucky with warm, dry and not too windy day. Plenty of seats, chose outside upper deck. Awesome views, including castle. Well organised trip and friendly staff too. Parked in overflow car park, just allow extra time to walk back to boat 😀. Great gift shop.

The staff is very friendly. The cruise was very good and we saw some spectacular views of the castle. There is no explanation in Spanish, only in English.

Was issues with a voucher to exchange for tickets but we went to the cruise via open top bus but the vouchers not exchanged here but 5 miles up the road. Probably our mistake but confusing. Luckily the staff at the jacobite cruise changed them for a cruise they were doing so did not actually do this cruise. The only way to have got the voucher exchanged was to get a taxi to come out to us from Inverness which would have been expensive. If you your own car then might not have been a problem.
Very nice experience, beautiful views. Nice staff. Opportunity to buy drinks. Bring top layer if you want to stay all the time outside.
