Loch Goil Cruisers

On Loch Goil, you can see a seal colony, diving Gannets, porpoises and oystercatchers, you may also see otters and even whales or dolphins occasionally. Look out for Red Deer grazing at the side of the loch, as well as the imposing Carrick Castle, with 14th-century ruins.

Our boats are cruising vessels (not specifically fishing boats) but are popular and well suited for fishing. You may catch mackerel, wrasse, pollock, or even cod, depending on the season. We have a selection of rods for hire that are perfect for children and novices.

No previous boating experience is required and the boats are very simple to drive.

Loch Goil Cruisers can be found close to the village of Lochgoilhead, within Loch Lomond & Trossachs National Park. We are 50 miles from Glasgow, 30 miles from Balloch, 30 miles from Dunoon and 20 miles from Inveraray. From all directions the journey to Loch Goil Cruisers is stunning. Please ensure that you allow enough time to drive along roads that can be slow and winding in places.

Before, or after your adventure on Loch Goil, call into our Boat Shed Café for coffee, lunch or a treat or two!
