My husband and I decided to get the train to Balloch and have a wander around the Loch. We hadn't made and plans other than to arrive and see where the day took us. We happened to come across the little cabin/coffee hut that Loch Lomond Boat Hire works from and enquired about hiring a boat. The man in the... More

Wrap up warm, pick your day and experience unbelievably fantastic scenery, Loch Lomond Boat hire were extremely flexible, professional and helpful in accommodating our winter boat hire (February 2013). Once the fog cleared we had the most brilliant of days, BBQ and picnic on a remote island – no-one else on the island or the Loch for that matter. Great... More

If you are looking for an enjoyable way to see stunning Loch Lomond then you can't go far wrong with a trip with Mark and the semi rigid inflatable. It leaves from Lomond Shores in Balloch and takes you up the loch for fantastic views of the beautiful scenery including Ben Lomond and the various islands. Its an exhilarating journey... More

Phoned up and booked over the phone. When we arrived the boat looked clean and newish. After safety brief headed out. Was great to explore and easy to drive. While out on the loch waves started whipping up. While passing an island a large wave came over the front of the boat. Boat filled with water and had to head... More

Myself and 3 friends booked to hire a boat for 3 hours through groupon yesterday and we had a blast! We arrived a little early as myself and one of my friends had been before and wanted to show our other friends around. The girl that greeted us got us fitted up and was up for a giggle with our...

After booking our boat we had to wait 45 minutes for it to arrive, the customer service from the girl n particular was seriously lacking to say the least! We eventually got our boat and set off only to break down ten minutes later as one of the staff 'forgot' to put fuel in the boat! Really not a good... More

Just returned from a fantastic day out on the Loch. Good weather of course did help but given that it is Scotland we went prepared for anything and everything. Bought a 3 hour boat hire ticket through Groupon - booking process through to collecting the boat worked very well with friendly staff eager to ensure that we had an enjoyable... More

We hired a motor boat from Loch Lomond Boat Hire in July 2012, we bought our ‘ticket’ through Groupon so saved quite a bit off the normal price of hire. The booking process was a bit odd as you go on to the hire site put in all the details of the date and time you want to book and... More

My husband completely surprised me with this boat trip yesterday! Thank goodness he let me drive as he would have had us pretending he was James Bond! We had packed a picnic and duly went up the loch on our wee boat for a two hour trip. What fun we had, and it being summer in Scotland we also had... More
