Great relaxing cruise on a lovely boat. - A wee bit hard to find Lochgarroch, so leave in plenty time in case you get lost.
We took the cruise as a family trip. 8 Adults and 3 children, 15yrs, 12yrs and 11yrs. We were very lucky with the weather, it was sunny and no wind.
We had a nice welcome from the crew and were given safety talk.
The boat was lovely and modern, very clean and had coffee tea and snacks, which was really good.
We all thoroughly enjoyed our trip (2hrs) and would definitely recommend it. No complaints about anything.
A relaxing 2 hours.

Brilliant despite no hot chocolate! 😂 - Stunning scenery and very informative guide(Gordon). Despite the persistent rain, was able to get out and see scenery from the deck and also good view from inside. Interesting facts about the Loch, local landmarks and personalities. One of our group was looking forward to a warming hot chocolate but machine broken - enjoyed a bit of lighthearted banter with the guide about making sure it was on for next time. Definitely worth the trip, even with the weather. Would be lovely to see all different autumn colours on a sunny day.

Excellent COVID-19 Setup. Safe & Enjoyable! Nessy? - We joined the 9:30 cruise to the castle and back. Lovely big car park with a large modern cafe/restaurant at the canal side. All COVID-19 precautions taken, and apart from the toilet doors you don’t have to touch anything to get anywhere on the boat. Toilets are fantastic by the way! Like a modern hotel suite! Not expected on a boat. Great coffee on board too.
Saw something lurking in the waters surround the castle when we were sightseeing later that day. Long, slender, black/green. See pics! Few metres long whatever it was, moving about in the water. The truth is out there! 😱🤫

Loch Ness - The entire booking process was easy and quick. Everyone we encountered at the centre was professional. The cruise/castle were lovely, we did have amazing weather on the day. Overall I would recommend the cruise company and cruises. It was a wonderful way to experience Loch Ness.

Cool Cruise - This trip was excellent - up the canal to Loch Ness - fabulous views all the way to Urquhart Castle - the weather was great - make sure you take cameras and binoculars.
Naration was good - snacks were good - only negative was a group of children running round out of control - but this was stopped by staff on the return trip

Highly recommended - Have done business with Jacobite for years with my groups. Just took a personal trip on the Caledonian Canal Urquhart cruise and found the service, guide and quality of the same high standard.
Delightful experience throughout. Should be a part of everyone's Inverness Loch Ness experience
