Happy New Year to all our friends! This should be interesting tonight - filmed along our beautiful cruising route - 8pm tonight on Channel 4.

It's the last day of our exceptionally busy season. Thank you so much to all our lovely guests who have enjoyed trips with us this year. We have a busy winter maintenance schedule to get on with now, as well as the fit out of another new Kintail for the start of next season. Best wishes from Audrey & all the Caley crew :)

Our friends at Loch Ness Motorhomes - Rental are having an early bird offer, with 20% of 2018 bookings :) Why not have a 2 part holiday next year? 1 week on one of our boats then a week exploring the Scottish Highland by motorhome?

We have a Kintail available 1-4 September and Taransay, 23 - 30 September if anyone is looking for a last minute get away.

Just in case you missed it in November, our Kintail will be featured on Great Canal Journeys this Saturday night, 8pm on Channel 4. Well worth watching this beautiful trip through Loch Ness and the Caledonian Canal.

Our friends at Loch Ness Motorhomes - Rental are at CMT Stuttgart. They would be delighted to give you information about cruising the Caledonian Canal or touring Scotland in one of their fantastic Motorhomes. Please do call in for a chat with them if you are planning a visit! :)

User

We do hope you enjoyed Channel 4's "Great Canal Journeys" last night and their trip through the Caledonian Canal. It can be viewed online for the next month just in case you missed it.

User

We were very fortunate to get some beautiful weather in August to do some filming with Great Canal Journeys. It's going to be on tomorrow night @ 8pm, Sunday, 6th November.

User

Lovely view of Fort Augustus

User

Fantastic clip here of how the Caledonian Canal used to be.

User

Lovely film we did recently with Visit Britain.

User

This is a really nice article featuring our Balmoral published in Motorboat Owner, the digital magazine recently. Well worth a read if you're planning a trip with us this year. Only 2 weeks to go before we start up again for our 2016 season!

User

Wonderful week and who knew when we booked 11 months ago that it would be one of the hottest weeks for years.The boat exceeded expectations and Calley Cruisers were excellent.Can’t recommend this highly enough.

User

Wonderful helpful staff and well equipped boat. Great holiday. One of the best we've had. Bucket list experience in my opinion. Only issue was the return/check out time made it difficult to moor anywhere but the boatyard the night before.

User

What can I say, holidayed with Caley Cruisers many times now, fantastic staff, fantastic well kept boats, Audrey and staff can't do enough to make your holiday the best it can be. Can't wait to get back in October.

This was our first time for a cruise on the Caledonian Canal, we found CC through Google, read some reviews and booked.

We had a great holiday that was very professionally supported by staff that are deservedly proud of the service they provide.



To explain, our boat was unfortunately affected by a couple of malfunctions which affected our cruise to some degree. During the most significant of these occasions I sent an email to their office at a very early and anti-social hour to let them know that we needed assistance as soon as it was convenient. I was astonished to receive a reply from Audrey within 20 mins or so. The engineer also arrived 20 mins ahead of schedule which was welcomed.



It would be easy to say that a company has provided exemplary service when nothing has gone wrong. I believe by contrast that a more meaningful review could be given by measuring how a company or business handles an issue which is obviously important to the customer.



With this in mind, I can attest that we were afforded 1st class service and that at no point were we left feeling neglected. I am completely convinced that our case was an isolated one and was an unusual occurrence.



We are looking forward to re-booking with them and I cannot overstate how professional and courteous all of the staff are, particularly the management team and reception staff.



Very well done to you all. :-)



Ashley & Julie Reynolds.

Thank you to Audrey Bob & Graeme all the team at Caley Cruiser for a seamless handover ,quality boat and great navigation charts had a fab week for Dawns birthday (Audrey left a birthday bottle of wine for Dawn on the boat when we arrived a really nice touch) Can't recommend this company enough .also stunning scenery and perfect weather

User

Second time on the Caledonian Canal with Caley Cruisers, this time on honeymoon, loved every second of it. Living in Scotland it's one of our favourite holidays and favourite destinations. Would recommend 11 nights to take in the amazing scenery at your own pace. Beautiful boats and lovely staff to help you on your way. I'm sure we will be back for a third time.

User

My wife and I had had a super week on the Caledonian Canal on Highland Glen II rented from Caley Cruisers. The staff couldn't have been more friendly and helpful. We even got a lift back to Inverness by one of the staff on our last day as we flew in. Highly recommended.

User

My family and I spent a wonderful week on the Canal and Caley Cruisers made this possible! We couldn't have asked for a more obliging company to work with. We were picked up at our hotel, taken to the supermarket to buy groceries for our trip and then taken to our boat by Caley. The staff provided excellent instructions so we felt perfectly comfortable with the boat as we started our journey. The trip itself was spectacular....just beautiful! When we returned, Caley even went the extra mile and took us to our hotel. Thank you so much Caley Cruisers for making our holiday such a wonderful experience!

User

Just back from a great week away on one of Caley Cruisers Eriskay class cruisers. First class all round - great boat, great staff, stunning scenery, decent weather. Returned home chilled and relaxed and with fond memories. Highly recommended and we hope we have the chance to do it all again.
