Belle has been part of the company since 1985! She is the head of housekeeping and looks after the boats spectacularly. Outside of work, she keeps herself even more busy with her grandkids and loves crafts.
Bethany has been with the company since 2002, when she was just a teenager! Bethany will be transitioning into Belle's position of head of housekeeping for Belle's retirement, but is currently a housekeeping supervisor and also works in the office doing administration during the winter season. Bethany is always making people laugh and loves to party, and look after her cats,

Keri's Klean Team is our cleaning contractors, made up of a regular team of cleaners who know our boats really well. Keri and her team provide a fantastic service and ensure all of our boats and cleaned to perfection before going out on hire.

You may not always see our housekeeping team, but you'll definitely see the products of their hard work!

🌅Discover the magic of Urquhart Castle 🏰✨

Perched on the iconic shores of Loch Ness, Urquhart Castle offers stunning views, rich history, and a touch of mystery. Once a medieval stronghold, its ruins now whisper tales of battles, sieges and Scottish resilience.

There's nothing quite like seeing the castle from the serene waters of Loch Ness. As you glide across the deep, mysterious Loch, the castle emerges - a majestic ruin standing against the rugged Scottish landscape.
From this unique vantage point, you can truly appreciate its strategic location, steeped in centuries of history and legend. Feel the pull of the past and the possibility of spotting Nessie as you take in the breathtaking scene.
