from Elgol to Loch Coruisk since 1967!
Welcome to Misty Isle Boat Trips. We are a family-run business running boat trips from Elgol on the Isle of Skye to the famous Loch Coruisk in the heart of the Cuillin Hills.
You may have seen our skipper Seumas Mackinnon take Charles Kennedy across to Loch Coruisk on the ITV program, "Britain's Favourite View" - if so, you will understand why Loch Coruisk and Elgol featured on a program with a name like that!
Seumas Mackinnon has had the pleasure and privilege of running passenger trips from the pier in Elgol to visit Loch Coruisk for over 40 years (since 1967) and is often asked if, after so many hundreds of trips, he ever tires of the views of the Cuillins or of visiting Loch Coruisk itself. Seumas believes that is impossible to tire of such a stunning and ever-changing part of the Scottish Highlands.
All aboard for Loch Coruisk on the Misty Isle - the trip of a lifetime!
Sail with us to visit Loch Coruisk where you will enjoy what has been described as "the best viewpoint in Scotland"
