The Wee Beastie

[/vc_column_text][vc_separator type="small" position="center" color="#ffffff" thickness="1"][vc_column_text]

ALL ABOUT THE COOLEST BOAT 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. 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).
