Great Cruise. Friendly Skippers. Very dog friendly! - Great Cruise. Very friendly Skippers. 2 hours was a good amount of time, unfortunately we visited when it was raining and we didn’t see any seas, due to time of year. But they kept spirits high regardless. Very dog friendly, our pup was right at home. I deffo recommend it to anyone visiting Fort William soon.

Fantastic afternoon - we had a really great afternoon cruise with two very knowledgeable young ladies as skippers. The weather was brilliant so we had some super views of Ben Nevis. We also saw a lot of seals on Seal Rock. The best part was my being allowed to steer the boat, (albeit under very close supervision) despite my poor eyesight, The whole experience was fantastic.

Nice boat trip with seals - Nice boat trip! Was raining heavily when I went on this trip, so was a great way to pass the time and still feel like I was experiencing the area. Recommend if this happens to you! Guide filled us in with tons of interesting facts and made sure we saw wildlife- several seals in this case. Hostess was terrific too serving us hot drinks. Enjoyed this!

Nice boat tour - Nice tour with very nice and funny staff telling about the city, water, nature and so much more. It’s quite cold so bring extra clothes. We did see seals but it was a small part of the tour. So do it for all the other amazing things as well.

Seal-ed with a kiss - We were particularly lucky to enjoy dry weather but the temperature was still quite cool. Added to the sea breeze we needed to ensure we were well wrapped up. I would suggest a woollen hat to wear and a pair of gloves. We saw some seals which was fabulous and the crew were wonderful. We thoroughly enjoyed our trip and highly recommend it.

Seal the Deal - Parking nearby in a metered car park was easy enough but the ticket office seemed to have been demoted to a small storage container but probably as a result of the storm so no issues and all clearly marked. Young crew who were more than capable and experienced. Good boat trip taking in the Seal Island and lots of information about the surrounding area.

Very wet but... - This boat trip was awesome. The weather was horrid but we wrapped up and enjoyed it anyway. The helmswoman was funny and really informative and made the trip interesting. We didn't see any seals unfortunately but was still worth it. Highly recommended, wrap up and enjoy whatever the weather.

Cruise to seal island - Have a nice boat trip and enthusiastic couple. The skipper and the crew. The skipper told us about the surroundings and history. Very informative and lots of humor Despite the high water level which made spotting sea lions difficult, we had a nice cruise

Linnhe cruise - The trip was brilliant. The 2 skippers Daragh and Dana where amazing they explained everything to all passengers as we travelled round even stopping to see the animals . If you go on the cruise during autumn , you need to wrap up as it gets really cold .
