Speedboat tours on Loch Lomond

Often described as the highlight of a trip to Loch Lomond

See the loch from an entirely new perspective on a private skippered tour. Chris has lived on Loch Lomond all his life. Every tour starts and finishes at our pier. Pick-ups from Luss, Balmaha and Cameron House can usually be arranged.

"Chris was so friendly and knowledgeable about the islands and Loch Lomond."

The farm

First and foremost a family farm

The Scott-Park family have farmed Portnellan for over 65 years. We produce organic beef in an environmentally sensitive way on 230 acres above the loch.

We gave up dairy farming in 2010. Since then the farm has welcomed boat owners to our moorings and guests to the Old Farmhouse. Chris came home in 2013 and started the speedboat tours soon after.
