Below are comments we've received on our visitor feedback forms......

 "We have just returned from a fabulous holiday in Scotland and hired a boat from Caley Cruisers to sail up Loch Ness right through to Fort William. Caley Cruisers provided us with excellent customer service and care. The boat we hired was spotlessly clean and in immaculate order throughout.  Equipment on the boat including galley ‘stuff’ (pots n pans) was of a high standard. We thoroughly enjoyed our experience with CC and would recommend them to others wishing to take a similar holiday. No doubt we’ll return some time in the future. The scenery was outstanding too!" - KR, Taransay

"We have had around 35 boating holidays from around 20 different boatyards.  About 10 years ago we "found" Caley Cruisers and have been with no-one since.  This is our 5th trip and our only regret is we didn't find them sooner.  Best looking, best maintained, best equipped boats.  Outstandingly helpful and pleasant staff.  Cannot fault anything in any way.  Already booked Balmoral for same week next year!" - MT, Balmoral Class

"Smashing holiday & friendly, happy faces start to finish- lovely!" - ER - Eriskay Class

"Both boat & handover procedure exceeded expectations.  We last hired a boat 20 years ago -  it was a disaster and we handed it back after a couple of days - you have restored our confidence in boat hire!  We were very impressed with the condition of the boat, especially the cleanliness" SK - Mull of Kintyre

"The boat was in very good order but I was particularly impressed with the paper instructions and advice provided.  The navigation chart is well thought out  and told me all I needed to know" AP - Mull of Kinytre

"We had a fantastic holiday from the minute we arrived at Caley Cruisers.  The service is 2nd to none.  Thank you to everyone involved.  Would highly recommend you and will do!! N&GP, Eriskay

"A holiday where all parts, ie boat, weather, scenery, combined to make for an excellent experience" - PB, Highland Glen

"This was a fantastic experience - just not enough time!! Caley Cruiser staff, and lock keepers, enhanced our enjoyment.  Would recommend this to others" RR - Eriskay

"Fantastic break!  Will definitely use Caley Cruisers in the future & recommend them to others.  Thank you!" - CT&ER, Eriskay

"Would recommend to family & friends. Excellent service. Cleanliness and service were top class. Fantastic holiday. Will definitely book again. Thank you." 
Mr Richard J., Mull of Kintyre class

"We had a wonderful boating experience. Friendly boating community, always someone who will wave at you. Excellent staff, friendly and patient. Would recommend." 
Mr Andrew M., Eriskay class

"A most enjoyable and different experience. Everyone we met so friendly, especially lock keepers and all the Caley staff. A definite must for a future date. Well done Caley." 
Mr Alan H., Mull of Kintyre class

"Thank you so much, it lived up to our expectations and so much more. We cannot fault anything. Thanks again." 
Mrs Julie B., Eriskay class

"Very good holiday. We really enjoyed the quality & service that Caley Cruisers provide and feel that it is second to none. In fact, we have never experienced such professional and friendly service. Thank you." 
Mrs Sharon S., Highland Monarch class

"Fantastic! We had a brilliant time and have felt very supported along the way by Caley Cruisers staff. It's been great!" 
Sarah & Steve Cureton

"We had a fabulous holiday - beyond our wildest dreams! The boat was excellent and the Glen was amazing. We would highly recommend Caley to others!" 
Alan & Tracey Cousins 

"Ideal holiday for 1st timers. Comprehensive tuition from Caley. Lock Keepers and other boat hirers very friendly. Wonderful experience!" 
Bev Carrigan, Eriskay

"Wonderful holiday, but all too short. We have always been delighted with your service, wish we could stay on boat for longer!" 
Mrs I Munro, Taransay 

"This has been one of the best holidays we have ever had. from the first point of contact with you, everything has been excellent. You are particularly friendly and helpful!" 
Caroline Whitehurst, Highland Glen 

"We loved our holiday and were very impressed with all your staff. I hope Caley Cruisers goes from strength to strength!" 
Nick Edwards, Highland Monarch 

"I first came across Caley Cruisers in the 1970’s, when conducting a Loch Ness Monster hunt for the BBC Children’s Programme, Blue Peter, when I spent several days filming on a cruiser with the company’s founder, the wonderful Jim Hogan. Over the past 25 years my wife and I have cruised the Caledonian Canal on four occasions, each time with Caley Cruisers. In 2010 we took a Highland Monarch with another couple, and had perhaps the best holiday ever. There is always something new to do on the canal, the restaurants en route are excellent, and the boat itself had lots of space and every facility. Everything is taken care of, and the instruction before setting off means that you leave for your holiday with great confidence in your own ability to get the best out of the boat. I would, and have, recommended Caley Cruisers to all our friends. It is a holiday on which we can take our dogs, so it really ticks all the boxes. It’s a long way to Inverness from the south of England, but, my word, it is worth the trip. Quite beautiful" 
Peter Purves, Highland Monarch 



This has been a fantastic week for weather setting the scene for an excellent trip and showing the countryside at its best.
