The hull was designed and produced by Humber Inflatables. This RIB (Rigid Inflatable Boat)is extremely safe & can seat up to 12 passengers at a time, and is getting a brand new engine for the 2022 season capable of speeds of more than 40 knots (45mph).

[/vc_column_text][/qode_accordion_tab][qode_accordion_tab title="What should I wear?" title_tag="h5"][vc_column_text]

We will provide you with lifejackets. Please ensure you wrap up warm - even on the hottest of days Loch Ness can have a chill! We also recommend you bring a change of clothes with you as you are in the ultimate splash zone!

[/vc_column_text][/qode_accordion_tab][qode_accordion_tab title="Will I get wet? " title_tag="h5"][vc_column_text]

Warm clothes are required for your tour - waterproofs will be better!

Bring a change of clothes with you should you happen to sitting in a splash zone area.

[/vc_column_text][/qode_accordion_tab][qode_accordion_tab title="Can I take pictures with my phone or camera?" title_tag="h5"][vc_column_text]

Yes, of course! Make that Instagram profile so much stronger and remember to use our #beastieboats and tag @beastieboats!

[/vc_column_text][/qode_accordion_tab][qode_accordion_tab title="Will I get seasick?" title_tag="h5"][vc_column_text]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.

" title_tag="h5"][vc_column_text]We require a minimum 48-hour notice to amend/cancel a booking.[/vc_column_text][/qode_accordion_tab][qode_accordion_tab title="Do trips ever get cancelled?" title_tag="h5"][vc_column_text]Very occasionally we may have to cancel your tour with us.

Unfortunately, we cannot accommodate those who are pregnant or have back problems on board our RIB tours. 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.
