We currently have two Orkney Longboat style
boats available for hire. You can take a trip to the other side of
loch for a BBQ, or spot of fishing, or just a little tour round
the Loch admiring the views of Scotland's first National Park. Some of the best beaches are only accessible by
boat.
The Coylet Inn also sells the fishing permits for
the Loch. They are charged at £5 per rod.
The boats will fit 5 adults for sightseeing, and
for comfortable fishing we recommend no more than 3-4 people
