Canal Fees

A canal fee is applicable for all hire vessels on the Caledonian Canal and the Lochs. The charges are per night and per boat (depending on the year when the booking takes place) – see table below, and will be applicable for all bookings. This will allow access to all Scottish Canals transit pontoons and jetties, passage through all Locks and Bridges in the cruising area and access to all Scottish Canals toilet and shower facilities. The fee will also include berthing in Urquhart Bay Harbour on Loch Ness, however you are required to pay for power when berthed here. The canal fees will be invoiced with your balance of hire. If you have to cancel your holiday for any reason (prior to the start date) after the full balance payment has been made, the canal fees will be refunded to you accordingly. Scottish Canals will usually increase the canal fee every year.
