Boat Trips on Offer

We now offer a huge range of sailings from 45mins to 9 hours! If you know anything about the Isle of Skye it will go without saying that all boat trips are weather permitting, so please phone in advance to avoid disappointment. Booking in advance is not always essential but it is always highly recommended to ensure we keep a place for you. Our Misty Isle standard 3hour boat trips board at 11am and 2.15pm and these are our most popular trips, departing daily except for Sundays. These standard boat trips run from 1st April to 31st October.

Our new boat, ‘Heather Grace’ will usually be sailing at 9am 10.30am 12.30pm 3.45pm and 5.15pm daily except for Sundays… Heather Grace runs all year round but it is essential to phone ahead for Heather Grace trips as seats are limited and on some days Heather Grace will be running different boat trips, as detailed below. Other sailing times are available by arrangement to suit your requirements.

Other exciting trips we can now offer on our new boat ‘Heather Grace’ include: Whale spotting trips, sailings to the seals and longer trips to see the puffins on Canna. Boat trips around the south end of the Isle of Skye and trips to the Isle of Rum. Please note that these are all available by special request only. Phone us for details and we will try our best to accommodate you.

What is the Loch Coruisk Boat Trip Like?

The climax of your boat trip with us on the Misty Isle will be the awesome view when you arrive at Loch Coruisk itself as it sits in the heart of the Cuillin hills in the south west of the Isle of Skye. But there is much to see and hear about along the journey to Loch Coruisk as well!

As you leave the village of Elgol, passing the ‘Honeycomb Rock’ cliff to your right, you will be surrounded by some of the most magnificent scenery to be found anywhere in the world. It will be immediately obvious why ITV’s “Britain’s Favourite View” program chose Loch Coruisk as one of the top 16 views in Britain! You will cruise past the Small Isles of the Inner Hebrides on your left: The island of Rum which has received nationwide TV coverage on BBC’s ‘AutumnWatch” program in 2006 and on BBC’s Restoration program which featured its historical Kinloch Castle; Eigg, famed for its recent community buy-out; Canna, the only island to treat its mice to holidays (find out more from Stuart on the boat trip!) and a bird watchers paradise; Soay where the remains of an old basking shark station set up by Gavin Maxwell can still be found.

Boat Trips from Elgol on the Isle of Skye to Loch Coruisk on the Misty Isle!

Approaching the Cuillin hills and Loch Coruisk you will see a great variety of seabirds including some rare species – oyster catchers, golden eagles, manx shearwaters, puffins, razorbills, cormorants, herons and occasional sea eagles, to name just a few, are found in the area (some are there all the time, others are more occasional visitors).

Other sea life can often be seen. Occasionally basking sharks, minky whales, dolphins and porpoises join us en route to Loch Coruisk – sometimes coming very near to the boat, providing passengers with fantastic photo opportunities.

After your arrival at the breathtaking Loch Coruisk you will have plenty of time ashore for the short walk to the loch or just to enjoy the beauty and tranquility that surrounds you. There is a wide variety of trip lengths available to suit every need.

And then… very near to Loch Coruisk… there are the famous seals!
