The Wee Beastie arrived brand new to the shores of Loch Ness in 2018. It has an all-black look to make it the coolest vessel ever to set-sail on Loch Ness. The hull was designed and produced by Humber Inflatables. The vessel was then fitted by Quinquari Marine in South-West Wales. This RIB (Rigid Inflatable Boat) can seat up to 12 passengers at a time, and has been fitted with Twin 200HP Evinrude engines capable of speeds of more than 40 knots (45mph).

It is incredibly rare for anyone to feel seasick on The Wee Beastie. Our speedboat sits low in the water and the motion shouldn’t be too severe. Plus, we are in a Loch, not in the sea!
We require a minimum 48-hour notice to amend/cancel a booking.
Very occasionally we may have to cancel your tour with us. Passenger enjoyment and safety is our highest concern and if we feel weather conditions on the day are unsuitable we will cancel the sailing.
If we have to cancel your trip for any reason, any payment you have made for your tour will be refunded in full, or we will try to be able to accommodate you on the next available one that suits.
Unfortunately, we cannot accommodate those who are pregnant or have back problems. Even on calm days if the weather changes or there is an unpredictable wave – motions could occur. For that reason we don’t recommend our tours for anyone with these conditions.
