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 ..

  We rolled up at the quayside, met with a hearty islander greeting and boarded the boat for the quick jaunt across to Loch Coruisk. A wee dander round the inlet... read more where we saw a seal colony basking in the sun (I know, sun in the isles!). We then went across and docked so we could start our walk. The sights were beyond belief, gorgeous water, the Cuillins and just a calm, peaceful place to walk. We returned to the boat after 90 minutes and were given a hot drink for the return trip. Only downside being the midges (bring your spray) but what is the west coast without them? Definitely do it again next year.

  This is a superb trip & highly recommended.We were a party of 4 adults & 2 children aged 7 & nearly 5.The skipper Sandy & his son Seamus are helpful... read more & entertaining & their Mckinnon family have strong links with area going back beyond their association with Bonnie Prince Charlie.His grandpa also built the white bothie which you will see when you go ashore at the lake.The scenery from the boat & when you walk around the lake is tops at international level.Take a picnic or buy from the Hut near the ticket office. (Probably advisable to book in advance & check weather conditions b4 you travel)

  The boat ride and the view of the Cullins were awesome. However, what we will remember most are the stories told by Seumas MacKinnon and his dad, Sandy. ... read more On the ride to and from the Loch Coruish we saw lots of seals but, unfortunately, no whales today. However, being able to take a gentle hike up to and along the loch and sit overlooking it and the 3,000' peaks in the background was impressive. This trip was one of the highlights of our stay on the Isle of Skye.

  Absolutely fabulous day out with Misty Isle Boat Trips. Would recommend giving yourself plenty of time to arrive at Elgol.
The trip across was fabulous, Sandy and Seamus... read more pointed out a Minky whale and redirected the boat so everyone could see it. We also saw loads of seals as we arrived at Loch Coriusk
Loch Coriusk was breath-taking (the weather may have helped). It would have been lovely to stay longer and explore but we used most of our time up spotting whales so on balance a good choice.
On the way back we spotted porpoises, to end a lovely day out.

  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.

  Excellent trip! Knowledgable Skipper who gave a very entertaining and informarive talk on the way to Coruisk Loch. We saw a colony of seals and some harbour porpoises which were... read more an added bonus.We took our dog with us who was madw very welcome. There are some metal steps at the landing stage which our dog ( a labrador) was scared of climbing. Seamus, a crew member, offered to carry her up them! Coruisk Loch is beauriful, surrounded by the Cuillin Mountains. We had 90 minutes to explore which was only just long enough. It is possible to book for a longer time on shore if you want. On the return journey to Elgol harbour we were served complimentary drinkks and delicious shortbread. A great trip!

  The trip itself is fantastic. Seeing Skye from the sea immediately gives you a different perspective on island life and, of course, the Cuillins are majestic. But I have... read more to give a special mention to Sandy, our skipper. He gave us a great commentary; a history lesson, a guide to the natural environment and geography of the Hebrides - and a few good 'dad jokes' thrown in.

  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!!
