Great little tour of Loch Lomond. Useful information about the surrounding buildings and Islands. Boat was clean and the crew are friendly. They serve drinks and snacks shortly after departing. Would recommend this.

Good cruise, not expensive, commentary available. However, one needs at least an hour for the cruise. It is advisable to buy tickets in advance for a smooth ride.

Now there is nothing I like more than a boat trip and this one was just an hour on Loch Lomond. Another pre booked event, absolutely necessary as it was a peak time in school half term.
The whole visitor area had been sanitised and there was enough seating, clean windows to shoot pictures through, a good historic commentary and fabulous scenery, the Loch, mountains, two Castles and even...... a Sea plane taxiing close to us.
The young lady who was one of the staff on our boat was a delight, caring and at the bar took a good photo of my son and me with our tasty Scotch on my phone camera.

Booked online very easily, which was a must as it was fully booked when we got there. The 2 hour sunset cruise was fantastic, weather was perfect and the views were amazing. Loch Lomond is just a stunning place to be.

Brilliant activity. Affordable, friendly staff. Drinks on board to purchase. Running commentary of buildings around the Loch. We did the 2 hour ferry tour. We had sunshine, so was a great experience.

I would recommend the two hour trip to most people and family friendly as well.
Staff were friendly and helpful and the boat was cleaned before each sail.
£45 for two adults which is pretty good considering running costs of that size of boat.
There is some historic facts given out over speakers past and present that's very interesting but not too much.
There's two toilets and a bar that you can get tea, coffee drinks and alcohol etc if desired as well.
Can be booked online easily.
Thanks for a great cruise guys.

What a lovely way to see the biggest of the Scottish Lochs. Went on the 1.5 hour sunset cruise. Lovely views from the boat. Staff both on the boat and on the shore were all very friendly, helpful and welcoming. Our boat had a nice little bar on the lower deck but because of the Covid restrictions the boat wasn't very busy, which was nice, allowing us to move around easily to take photos.

One of the best options around Loch Lomond. Have done more than 5 cruises with them and have enjoyed each. You would definitely return once you’ve done it.

This was a great cruise which lasted around about an hour. The weather was great so there was very good views of the mountains, hills and surrounding islands of loch lomond. There is a great commentary while aboard which explains the history surrounding your views. Extremely interesting to listen to while enjoying the views. The prices are reasonable for families which make it great to include in a day out. Lots of photogenic points of interest also. Great for taking pictures and videos. Highly recommended along with the sunset cruise which only runs selected months of the season.
