For centuries, Loch Ness has been home to one of the world's greatest mysteries—the elusive Loch Ness Monster. Sightings date back to as early as the 6th century, with each generation passing down their own stories of the creature that lurks beneath the loch’s dark waters. But what does Nessie really look like? Over the years, eyewitnesses have described her in many different forms.

Some say Nessie has the appearance of a prehistoric plesiosaur, with a long neck, small head, and flippers that propel her silently through the depths of the loch. This image of a dinosaur-like creature has fuelled theories that Nessie could be a surviving relic from the age of the dinosaurs. 🌊

Others claim to have seen something more serpent-like—a massive, eel-like creature coiling its way through the misty waters. With its sleek, dark body and spine-like ridges, this version of Nessie appears both ancient and otherworldly, almost as if it were a creature from legend. 🐍

Then there are tales of a more amphibious form, described as a giant water beast with humps breaking the surface, moving gracefully but mysteriously just beneath the waves. Some believe Nessie could even resemble a giant fish or eel that has been dwelling in the loch for centuries, hidden away in its murky depths.

Whether you're a firm believer or a curious sceptic, there’s no denying the fascination that Nessie has sparked across the globe. And on our Daily Scenic Cruises, you might just be the next person to catch a glimpse of the legendary Loch Ness Monster! Imagine cruising through the breath-taking beauty of Loch Ness, surrounded by the Highlands, all while scanning the waters for any sign of movement. 🚤

No matter the season, our year-round cruises bring you closer to the myths and mysteries of Loch Ness, allowing you to experience this legendary loch from a whole new perspective. Ready for your next adventure? Keep your cameras ready—Nessie could be waiting just below the surface! 📸

Looming over Loch Ness, shrouded in the mists of time and mystery, stands Castle Urquhart—its walls echoing with the secrets of Scotland's bloody past. 🏰

Once a formidable stronghold, this ancient fortress has witnessed over a thousand years of turbulent history. Built in the 13th century, Urquhart played a key role in Scotland's wars for independence, standing tall in defiance of invaders. But it was no stranger to betrayal, for in these very halls, alliances were broken, and blood was spilled.

Legend tells of its earlier days, when the Picts guarded these lands, even before the mighty structure was raised. It’s said that this spot, above the depths of the mysterious Loch Ness, was sacred—long before the rise of the castle’s stone towers.
In the 1290s, the English seized the castle during their attempts to crush Scottish resistance. But the Scots, resilient and fierce, would not yield. Heroes like Robert the Bruce and Andrew Moray fought to reclaim this symbol of Scottish pride, turning it into a battleground of fire and fury. Time after time, the castle was won and lost—each conquest leaving its scars on the stone walls.

Perhaps most dramatic was its final siege. In 1692, Clan Grant, the castle’s last occupants, made a desperate choice. Rather than let it fall into enemy hands, they destroyed their own fortress, lighting fires and blasting apart their own stronghold—reducing Castle Urquhart to the ruins we see today. The flames lit the skies above Loch Ness, a symbol of defiance, an oath that the soul of Scotland could never be broken.

But even in ruin, Castle Urquhart stands proud, a sentinel overlooking Loch Ness, where tales of the legendary Nessie are whispered on the winds. Visitors say the air still hums with the energy of ancient battles, where the cries of warriors echo faintly across the waters, and the spirits of those who lived and died here watch silently from the shadows.

Will you dare to walk its crumbling walls and feel the power of history beneath your feet?

Our Story

We’re Cruise Loch Ness, offering five star cruises departing from Fort Augustus, whether it’s trips to Urquhart Castle on our high speed RIBs or experiencing the breathtakingly beautiful Loch Ness on one of our traditional cruises onboard our larger vessels. We’re incredibly proud of our history and have called Fort Augustus home for generations. Since 1968, we’ve been running boat trips from the southern bank of Loch Ness and have had the fortune and pleasure of carrying over 1.5 million (and counting) passengers in that time.

The crew have zipped our RIBs more than 7x the distance around the world on these waters. “What?!” you say. “It’s true!” we say.

They’ve welcomed celebrities, the Olympic torch, Nessie hunters and have made it on stage at the music festival, RockNess. They are what one crew member fondly describes as “mental but very polite.”

We’re not a business, we’re a family and we really do have the best job and office in the world. We can’t wait to welcome you on board one of our vessels.
