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.

  We travelled with the Misty Isle yesterday for our class trip. We have 19 children in our class and every one of us thought it was excellent. Our class topic... read more has been Vikings and we were very surprised and delighted when the Skipper Sandy and Crew Seumas had dressed up as Vikings for us. We saw porpoise jumping in the water and the Misty Isle hot chocolates were amazing! We also saw lots of seals and they waved at us. The talk about Vikings and Cú Chulainn was very interesting. The walk to the loch was just the right length for our class and we had lots of fun eating our lunch with the lovely view of the mountains and the loch. It was very cool that they spoke some Gaelic to us and at the end we all go to drive the boat as well. Tapadh leibh uile!

  Took the children and our dog on a boat trip to Loch Coruisk in August 2021, Sandy the Skipper and his son Seamus were so welcoming and friendly, great tour... read more and info of the surrounding areas. Amazing walk around the Loch when you get off the boat, not for the elderly or those with mobility problems as the ground is uneven at the other end, but a fantastic hike around the loch with stunning views, it's well worth the trip.

Take a picnic, there are no toilets when you get to Loch Coruisk and the toilets in Elgol are at the top of the village before you drive down to the jetty where you get the boat - so make sure you stop there if you have kids before hopping on! Lovely little coffee kiosk was open selling nice coffees, ice creams and sea food salads, great to get snacks before and after the trip.

This is a family business and one we are so glad we supported.

  This was now our second trip with the Misty Isle Boat and her lovely crew, we cannot recommend it enough! The skipper and his son are lovely and have eagle... read more eyes for spotting wildlife. We were able to see dolphins, porpoises, pilot whales, seals and countless birds thanks to them! The walk around loch coruisk at the other side is beautiful, we would definitely recommend the 3hr trips to give you plenty of time to explore.

  A true family business with genuine historical links. Well run (short but comprehensive safety briefing) and friendly, informative commentary. The trip across to the Loch was especially enjoyable in the... read more full sun and 22 degrees we had on the day ️. Lots of wildlife to see. We chose to hunt down the beaches, after viewing the loch, and found a tiny peace of heaven where we swam alone in crystal waters. As Sandy (the Skipper) told us on the boat, the silence was indeed deafening. It was an incredibly peaceful place. On the return trip, a cuppa and shortbread finger were a welcome treat!

  The interaction with the skipper and his crew was great! Very nice folks, shared a lot of information with us with great enthusiasm!

  This was one of the highlights of our trip in Scotland whilst we were doing the nc500. The boat trip is well worth it and makes it possible to appreciate... read more the beauty of Skye. The crew was absolutely lovely and they were also fantastic with my daughter who also got to steer the boat. The hot drink and chocolate biscuit was also a treat. Thank you for a lovely experience. We look forward to coming back and doing it all over again!

  This was a brilliant trip to start off our holiday on Skye. Lots of seals and other wildlife to see and a great walk from the landing spot to see... read more wonderful views over Loch Coruisk in the heart of the Cuillins.
Young Seumas was a hero to lift our not-very-nimble dog on and off the boat - we were so grateful and impressed!

  So special, must do trip on Skye! - We adored our trip to Loch Coruisk! Seumas and Sandy are a hilarious father son duo, we really enjoyed their banter and story telling. We were lucky enough to see... read more a sea eagle flying above us but sadly no dolphins which had been out the previous two days. We went for the standard trip giving us 1.5 hours on land which was just enough with a toddler. She loved seeing the seal colony. All in all a fantastic experience. We’ll definitely be back to do it all again. My mum is local and tells me the MacKinnons of Elgol have been doing the boat tours here for generations. Isn’t that lovely. Highly recommend for spectacular scenery, wildlife if you’re lucky and great story telling!
