Welcome to Misty Isle Boat Trips, Isle of Skye

Our local skippers and crew look forward to entertaining you with tales and legends of the area as you sail out to visit the jewel in the heart of the Cuillins: Loch Coruisk!

Boat Trips from Elgol to Loch Coruisk since 1969!

The Mackinnon family have been welcoming passengers from all over the world since 1969. Come and experience for yourself the finest scenery Scotland has to offer on one of our boat trips form Elgol to Loch Coruisk on the Isle of Skye.

Misty Isle Boat Trips’ owner, Seumas Mackinnon, is a local skipper, born and bred in the village of Elgol with a lifetime of experience at sea. The boat trips continue as a family business with Seumas and his wife Anne working alongside their sons and grandchildren bringing visitors to see Loch Coruisk in the heart of the Cuillin hills where we guarantee you will enjoy some outstandingly beautiful Highland scenery. We also guarantee you will enjoy some true Highland hospitality!

We have frequent regular sailings from Elgol to Loch Coruisk from  through to the end of October. Though less frequent we also run cruises, boat trips and private charters throughout the year…

  • star rating  A must to go if you visit Skye - Unique view of the mountains, fantastic wildlife, lovely staff (family business). After many attempts to see whales on different parts of the world, I finally saw them with them 🙂
