Weather seemed to be set fair and we wanted a trip over to Loch Coruist to get a little closer to the magnificent Cuillen ridge. The trip delivered this and... read more much more. Father and son team Sandy and Seamus were excellent, friendly hosts giving us a Gaelic welcome (literally), providing interesting anecdotes about the local history and area and taking us to see a local colony of common seals. There is 90 minutes to amuse yourself and soak in the glorious scenery ( a short 10 min walk away once you reach the destination). Passengers welcomed back with hot refreshments and chocolate biscuit before the journey back. Seamus was excellent with the children on board answering loads of questions in a knowledgeable, patient and friendly way. Those children who wanted even got the opportunity to steer the boat on the way back as an extra treat. Highly recommend this trip.

  Have been wanting to do this trip for some time and was not disappointed. We left on the 9:15am boat and had it to ourselves. The local surroundings, history and... read more nature was explained. Saw seals and watched the two pilot whales in the bay. Walked around Loch Coruisk and had time to relax and watch the whales again in the sun. Hot drinks and biscuits served on the boat on the way back. Fantastic day out, thank you .

  Fantastic experience, sandy and Seamus were fantastic, very interesting stories about the local culture, the loch was beautiful and picturesque.

  We loved our trip over to Coruisk with father and son team, Sandy and Seamus today. They went out of their way to make our trip entertaining and informative -... read more taking detours to spot minky whales and seals and pointing out bird life. Sandy told us history and folklore of the area and Seamus handed round tea and shortbread. 😀

Highly recommend this family run team - from emailing to book (responsive & friendly) through to the lovely boat perfect for getting - frankly amazing - views.

  Excellent trip, a pleasant trip to the mountain range and back. Coupled with great historical knowledge told by one of the skippers. Breathtaking views, would highly recommend

  My sister and her family came over from Boston Usa and we decided on a wee weekend up to Skye ...suggestions on what to do were made and one... read more was Misty Isles Boat Trip ..and how glad we decided to do this trip ..one of the reasons on taking the trip was the fact they allow dogs and we have an "old seadog"called pele aged 13 who goes on holiday with us ..Sandy and Seamus were great at lifting him on and off the boat as well as helping us all ...Seamus tells a good story en route with fact and some tongue in cheek yarnsIm also sure if Sandy had been born in the time of Bonnie prince charlie Flora macdonald wouldnt have needed to take him over sea to Skye as Sandy would have ..We saw plenty seals and then enough time onshore fr our picnic we brought and to take photos of the stunning landscape ...Return journey hot refreshements and biscuits ....great value for money great crew who made the trip for us as well as the beautiful Loch Coruisk ..

  Excellent trip with great guides, Sandy and Seumas. We were lucky to see the dolphins and had wonderful weather.
Seumas even helped carry one of our dogs up and... read more down the metal stairs at the loch.
Highlight of our week on the island. Brilliant day trip!

  Didn’t know what to expect from the boat trip especially as the weather was a bit drizzly to start but what a great outing I had. The crew (3 generations... read more of local MacKinnons) were so friendly and helpful. Seumas the younger regaled us with local information and amusing stories whilst Dad Sandy steered the boat to places of interest like the seal colony and would stop the boat to let us watch and photo porpoises and other interesting wildlife.
The highlight was when we landed ashore and took the short walk to Loch Coruisk, possibly the most beautiful place in the UK !!!!!. We had about and hour and a half ashore and on our return to the boat we were given a hot drink of our choice and biscuits. Then a boat full of excitedly chattering tourists were transported back to Elgol where we reluctantly got off the boat. Would definitely recommend Misty Isle cruises. I’ve already booked another trip for September!!!
Thanks to the Misty Isle staff.

  Family run business in Elgol. Great crew who looked after as and entertained us from the minute we arrived to the minute we left. Took us around the loch to... read more a seal colony so there was plenty of photo opportunities. Even got a much welcome cuppa on the way back after a fairly blustery day out on the hill. Highly recommend!!

  When you are on the Isle of Skye this trip is absolutely worth it. We went with Sandy and his crew at one of our daughters birthday choice. She hoped... read more to see dolphins and guess what? We did! Also the seal colony is great to see and Loch Coruisk is magnificent. Sandy carried our dog up the stairs, so many thanks for that. On the way back warm drinks and biscuits and back at the dock a pin for the children. A trip to remember!
