A nice relaxing cruise around the loch. The Captain was very knowledgeable and gave commentary on points of interest around the loch. Not only knowledgeable but also very passionate about conservation of the loch as well as observing rules for the protection of the seals which inhabit a small rock in the loch. We enjoyed the cruise around the loch.

The captain was very knowledgeable, fun, allowed a couple of us to take the helm and we got to see the seals while learning about the area & the community. 10/10.
