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.

  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.

  Friendly and entertaining hosts, clean boat, incredible scenery! We were able to walk about on land which broke up the 3 hour trip. Nice touch with hot beverages and... read more shortbread after reboarding. Be prepared for all weather, and get there early because parking is a challenge.

  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.

  Our B&B host recommended we take the time to drive to Algol and to hop on this boat and so thrilled that we listened. The crew was very entertaining... read more and the scenery stunning. We lucked out and had a gorgeous sunny day! Once at the loch you are on your own. We hiked around for some amazing views and photos. We brought some snacks and drinks and had a small picnic before hiking back. You have about 90minutes here and on this gorgeous day we could have used more. It was breathtaking and no photos can really do it justice. If you have time while in the area, please make this one of your stops. Misty Isle boat was a wonderful last day for us.

  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!!

  Having returned from Loch Courisk on the Maid of Courisk, our family of 4 (including 2 kids) thoroughly enjoyed the trip. The trip out was smooth sailing and after a... read more spot of wild swimming in the Loch we returned in the capable hands of James and Helen with a shortbread and a coffee (hot chocolate for the kids!). The kids also got a shot steering the ship which was very nice of the crew, which our son really liked! One suggestion is to turn up early, as parking can be hard if you arrive at peak timings. Thank you to James, Helen and all at the ticket office!

  Misty Isle boat tours are fantastic. They are found in Elgol, one of the UK’s most beautiful places.

The boat was comfy and the views were spectacular. The... read more skipper was both knowledgeable and entertaining. We sailed across pan flat waters to Coruisk and then had 1 and a half hours to explore the hidden Loch.

We saw a variety of sea birds and seals and were given a welcome hot drink after some cold wild swimming.

I strongly recommend that every visitor should try Misty Isle boat tours. You won’t be disappointed.

  What a beautiful afternoon’s boat trip to a beautiful, stunningly peaceful place. From the very beginning, we were greeted and helped onboard ( a very nervous golden retriever), and... read more made at ease. My greatest fear was how to get off the boat at the other end, but we were assured that Seumas would lift and carry our two year old retriever off the boat and onto the landing steps and bridge. Great tour guide as we crossed the water, great and very funny stories by Captain !! We had a lovely afternoon and would highly recommend this trip and the Misty Isle team. Cups of tea and hot chocolate and biscuits on the way back, & help off the boat. So glad we made this trip and able to take our beloved dog too. Xxxxx

  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!
