Misty Isle - The Boat

As featured on ITV1's program, "Britain's Favourite View" the 'Misty Isle' is the perfect boat for the Loch Coruisk Boat Trips - a beautiful 41' launch maintained to the stringent standards necessary to achieve its MCA (Maritime and Coastguard Agency) class VI License, including undergoing 2 MCA inspections every year.

A Traditional Craft

A traditional craft with classic lines, the Misty Isle is the perfect vessel from which to enjoy the beauty and tranquility of Loch Coruisk and the Cuillins.

The Misty Isle uses very little fuel therefore leaving a small carbon footprint. This makes her friendlier to both wildlife and the environment which is always a concern - especially in the area around Loch Coruisk - a place of such natural, untainted beauty and tranquility. The Misty Isle had a new engine fitted during the winter of 2008 so is now even more fuel efficient.

The Misty Isle was built by Mitchells of Mevagissey and was originally used to run boat cruises from Poole to Brownsea Island. Before coming to Skye she was running boat trips to Brownsea Island from Swanage as the 'Maid of Sandbank', owned by Lenny and Roger Marsh.
