What the day feels like
What three hours on the water feels like
For three hours you’ll pilot (or be piloted in) a stable day boat at modest speeds across the sheltered expanse of Loch Goil. The craft’s half cover provides respite from the elements while the high sides keep children secure; the pace is relaxed, aimed at wildlife spotting and stopping for short fishing sessions with hire rods if you choose.
