A must do experience, a great crew, great trip out to the beautiful Loch Coruisk, you not only learn about the history of the place but maybe lucky enough to... read more see wildlife in their natural surroundings,( porpoises, dolphins, seals as well as ample bird life) Father & son team are wonderful, looking after everyone on board, (that includes your fur babies!) kids even got a go at being captain ( that included my Kermit) we were all spoilt with a hot drink & biscuit once back on board after having plenty of time to soak up the scenery around the Loch. Would do again. and again

  We had a great time, loved Sandy's stories and appreciated Seumas' agility on the boat! The loch was beautiful and the seals cute as promised. Lovely hike.

  Super friendly and helpful team. Everything from booking the trip , to getting us there and back was friendly and efficient. You even get a hit drink on the return... read more trip to warm yourself up.

  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!

  The crew (particularly Seamus and Sandy) was exceptionally helpful, friendly, and entertaining. Service on board was likewise exceptional, including (improbably) coffee, tea, and hot chocolate. Crew's expertise operating the boat... read more was top notch!

  Arrived early, thanks to some insider information we received from Stuart at Skye Luxury Tours. He suggested we arrive early so we could explore Honeycomb rock and the beach area... read more near the boat launch. (See photos).

After beach exploration, we met Carol at the landing and she was friendly and helpful. Sandy and Shamus tied up the boat and gathered everyone up for a three hour excursion. We set out excited to see some wildlife and scenic views.

We saw some porpoises, dolphins, harbor seals, a number of sea birds and a couple of minke whales. I was only able to catch a few in pictures, but it was a great day. During the ride, Shamus shared stories and information about the area and wildlife. Sandy remained focused on finding the wildlife and positioning the boat so everyone could get a view. Great teamwork and their experience was obvious.

One of the great aspects of the Misty Isle, was that she sat so low in the water. You were just above the waterline, so it was much easier to see whatever was swimming in the water around the boat!

Loved this tour and we had a great time. Highly recommend!

  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!

  A great trip with an excellent host at the helm. Very interesting local knowledge and great to see the seals, bird life and porpoise. The short walk up to the... read more loch needs suitable footwear but well worth it for an hour of peace and tranquillity and a perfect spot for a packed lunch. I would definitely recommend this trip and will be repeating it on my return in July!

  Fantastic day/half-day out to the heart of the Cuillins. Take a stroll around (part of) Loch Coruisk and go for a swim in it - refreshing! The boat... read more crew are great - Sandy, Seamus and Coral. The family's been there for generations, and they have lots of entertaining stories to share. Highly recommended. They do several drop-offs during the day - take a boatload over, bring the previous ones back, take another over etc ... This gives you about 90 minutes, which go very quickly. If you want to do a bit of a walk, have a swim or just hang around and soak in the place, go before the last sailing (~2pm) and let them know you'd like to take a later return rather than take the next trip back.
