There are four vessels in our Jacobite fleet, each with onboard toilets. We’ve decked out our fleet with everything you need to make sure you can explore the world’s most famous loch in safety and comfort – that includes serving a range of light snacks, soft drinks, and hot beverages. We even have a bar on board - sláinte

You’ll find our fleet’s knowledgeable staff are friendly and love to help, while an audio commentary also guides you as you sail.

We have toilets on board - you'll never get caught short while sailing the loch!

We serve drinks and light snacks. But please, do not feed the monster!

There's FREE WiFi onboard. But we don't recommend surfing on Loch Ness!

Many a warrior has passed through the Great Glen over the centuries – now our very own Jacobite Warrior proudly patrols the waters of Loch Ness. Not only does she protect you from the beast that lurks below, she also shields you from the elements thanks to double-glazing and onboard central heating. You might just find a warming dram behind the bar too.

Of Gallic descent, this robust, aluminium-hulled catamaran was designed by the French naval architects Mer et Design and constructed in the glamorous setting of Cannes. In her previous life, Jacobite Warrior roamed the waters of the Mediterranean before catching the eye of "Compagnie des Iles" who took her to Brittany, where she cruised to the islands in the Gulf of Morbihan.

But a true warrior belongs in the Highlands. So this impressive vessel set sail for Loch Ness in 2011, where she received a warm welcome and a total refit – including two powerful new Volvo engines. Nowadays, Jacobite Warrior's strong exterior belies her warm, softer side. Once onboard, you can relax, visit the bar, and tuck into a light snack as she sails.

The clans of the Highlands were known for their rebellious spirit. This trait continues on board our very own Jacobite Rebel. With a top speed of 12 knots and a passenger capacity of 200, she can give our Jacobite Warrior a run for her money. And if you’re feeling rebellious yourself, you can order spirits at her onboard bar – as well as wine, beer, hot drinks and a range of light snacks.

Like Warrior, Rebel is also a catamaran of Gallic birth, designed by Phillipe Suberero and built by Chantier naval de Rovere near Toulon in France. Originally named Jules Verne IV, the vessel didn't quite make it "around the world in 80 days", but she did sail proudly between Cannes, Nice and St Tropez. In 2014, she said "au revoir" to the Mediterranean, setting sail for Loch Ness.

After a long and arduous journey north, Jacobite Rebel arrived – polished and preened by MacDuff Shipbuilders at Buckie. She has now joined Jacobite's proud fleet of impressive vessels. Her crew is proud to welcome you on board!
