Nessie Hunting

Do you believe in the Loch Ness Monster? Many do. There have been sightings stretching back to the 1st century, but it was in the 1930s that Nessie-spotting really took off around here. Whether fact or fiction, she is an important part of our culture and history. And what could me more fun than searching for Nessie on the famous waters of Loch Ness? For the kids (big and small) there’s an activity book, audio guide and on-screen sonar, so you can see what’s happening below the water. So keep your eyes peeled and have a camera at the ready!

The Boats

There are four catamarans in the fleet. They are the Jacobite Queen, Jacobite Warrior, Jacobite Rebel and Jacobite Maverick. Each has toilet facilities, a drinks and snacks bar and free Wi-Fi. There’s also audio commentary, which shares local information and points out interesting landmarks. The cruise company and its boats are named after the Jacobites, a group of 18th-century Highlanders who tried to overthrow KIng George II, believing the British throne rightfully belonged to Charles Edward Stuart (Bonnie Prince Charlie). There is much local history surrounding the Jacobite movement, some of which you may learn about on your tour.
