Our boats what you need to know
There’s only one way to experience the home of Scotland’s greatest legend – on one of our boats.
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!
Jacobite Warrior
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.

Jacobite Rebel
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!
