Lady Kathryn

Explore the Great Glen from a different perspective on Lady Kathryn. This superbly crafted boat offers you comfort and relaxation as you soak up the Scottish scenery and wildlife. Gordon Malloch, your Captain, has a wealth of knowledge and passion for the area which he can share with you during the trip. You will also learn of Lady Kathryn’s particular treasures, such as the 1910 pre-Titanic wine cooler from the ‘White Star Line’.

Both day and hourly boat cruises are available to suit your mood – call The Lovat on 01456 490000 for further details.

Fort William Boat Trips

This is arguably the best route by boat as the scenery is more dramatic along Loch Lochy and the wildlife is in abundance with osprey sightings on occasion. You also have a direct view of Ben Nevis and Aonach Mor.

Fort Augustus Boat Trips

This is a more historical boat trip along the Caledonian Canal with views to Invergarry Castle and the Old Highland Railway

Sunset Boat Trips

Leave Laggan Locks and head towards the Letterfinlay Lodge Hotel.  Hop off for a wee dram or pint on the perfect outside decking to enjoy a calm evening, then return at your leisure.
