Amazing!
Woke up to my wife telling me we are going on a speedboat. Was absolutely terrified as hate any large volumes of water at the best of times. However, this was one of the BEST experiences of my entire 25 years. The crew made sure every single person was absolutely certain everyone wanted to go ahead as the wind was strong and the loch choppy. The customers safety to the crew is beyond important. Which is so so reassuring. Alfie was absolutely amazing and a good laugh. Thank you guys so much for an amazing time! Unforgettable experience!

Unforgettable experience
Incredible experience! It is the only way to really experience Loch Ness. (Me and my friend have done other bigger boats before but none of those experiences came even close.) Our driver Malcolm was a local and his knowledge and passion for this area was inspiring! Also he was completely in control – once you’re in the middle of the lake in a tiny boat you can really feel its power. If you want an experience of being close to these powerful dark waters this trip is a must!

Brilliant! Loved it!
Really enjoyed our trip on Loch Ness in the ‘Beastie’ RIB speedboat. Malcolm, our Captain, was brilliant, so friendly & full of Loch Ness facts that we never knew. (Also very helpful getting me in & out of the boat as I’m mobility impaired, & helped squeeze me into the warm all-in-one suit, they provide, ha ha!) Thoroughly recommend this fast, informative experience. Thank you so much Malcolm, definitely a thumbs up from us!
