Welcome to Caley Cruisers!

We operate a large fleet of modern motor cruisers, all fully equipped and available for weekly or short-break self charter on Loch Ness and the Caledonian Canal. With a range of 11 different styles to choose from, whichever boat you choose, you can be assured it will be the perfect vantage point to explore 60 miles of Europe’s most beautiful inland waterway. The spectacular scenery, combined with a beautiful cruiser and our first class service will ensure your holiday with Caley Cruisers is one of the most memorable and enjoyable experiences you will ever have.  

We are based in Inverness which is in the north-east of Scotland. This is both the pick up and return point for all cruises with us. Conveniently located just a few minutes drive from the city centre, we are just 2 miles from Inverness Train Station and 10 miles from Inverness Airport.

Established in 1970, we are a family business and during our 45 years in operation we have introduced thousands of couples and families to the splendours of the Great Glen. No previous boating experience is necessary as we provide a comprehensive handover and 24 hour support service during your stay. Approximately one third of our customers are completely new to boating.  You will find a lot of detailed information about our company, boats and the cruising area contained within this website and we hope it provides the answer to any questions you may have.  Please also feel free to give us a call, or send an email, and we'd be delighted to assist with any queries.
