Overview

Discover the mystery surrounding Loch Ness on a 1-hour cruise from Clansman Harbour. Situated only a twenty minutes’ drive from central Inverness, Loch Ness is one of the world’s most famous lakes. Climb aboard a cruise boat and make your way across the mysterious loch, taking in awe-inspiring natural vistas of lush greenery and rambling hills. Admire views of the romantic ruins of Urquhart Castle and, with the boat’s sonar system, join in the quest for the loch’s most famous resident, Nessie, the 'Loch Ness Monster.'

Incredible on a sunny spring day

Published on Mar, 2025

Easy to get to on the A82- be careful of speeding traffic and big lorries on a road not really built for them and the main car park is fairly small with an overspill one up the hill. Easy to get on, plenty of seats, would advise going onto the top deck on the return as it empties a little on the cold loch wind. On a good day. incredibly beautiful. I think with the loch fog it would be mystical. As a local it was cool to actually be on the Loch, rather than going around it.

Such warm, friendly and professional staff !!

I was planning on taking the 1 hour cruise with my dad, a day before he was to have knee replacement surgery in Inverness. Unfortunately his appointment was canceled twice and we couldn't make it but the staff (Sally & Faye) at Jacobite Cruises were so understanding and accommodating to us and their customer care was 1st Class, a rare find these days. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts and look forward to cruising with you soon.

A fine trip out

Published on Mar, 2025

A bit nervous I liked that staff had an identifiable uniform, and safety on the Boat was a factor. Once out on the water I was so very aware of how deep the loch was and how vast it felt, but so calming , just got immersed in the experience, and Nessie or no Nessie was a factor of the talk. There was time to sit in the cabin, and also re-organise your hairdo by being outside :) , felt free to wander in or out. The scenery of course is an enviable backdrop. Next time will book to get off at Urquhart Castle too. Refreshments available. and a powder-room all good. A real feel good , nicely priced scenic experience, with real friendly crew.

We had a wonderful time on board the Jacobite Rebel. The sailing was calm and smooth on Loch Ness and there was lots of room on board. I loved the castle views and the on board commentary was quite funny!
