ALL ABOUT THE COOLEST BOATS ON THE LOCH

[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]

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. This RIB (Rigid Inflatable Boat)is extremely safe & can seat up to 12 passengers at a time. Although we do travel at speed, safety comes first in everything that we do, it is our job to make sure everyone onboard no matter what age or ability has an enjoyable, safe and unforgettable experience.

It is incredibly rare for anyone to feel seasick on our speedboat, the Wee Beastie. Motion shouldn't be too severe as the boat sits low in the water. Plus, we are in a loch, not in the sea!

In the unlikely event we cancel your tour, any payment you have made will either be refunded in full, or we’ll try to accommodate you on the next available tour that suits you.
