Step aboard a Sweeney's Cruise

Whether you’re joining us for a daily sightseeing trip, a special celebration, or a corporate event, our fleet of well-appointed boats provides a comfortable setting against the stunning backdrop of Loch Lomond. Departing from locations like Balloch and Loch Lomond Shores, we offer a way to experience Scotland's largest loch.

As a family business with a long history on Loch Lomond, dating back to the 1880s, Sweeney's Cruises has developed an intimate knowledge of the loch's 23 miles, its diverse wildlife, and its rich history and folklore. Our fleet  comprises four vessels – the Silver Dolphin, Astina, Silver Marlin, and Osprey – allowing us to cater to different group sizes and requirements. We also offer private charter services for events such as weddings and corporate gatherings, providing a unique way to experience Loch Lomond's captivating scenery and rich heritage.

In the early days, the company ran on steam launches and rowing boats. Today it's a different story. Managed by John Sweeney, the fourth generation of the family to work on Loch Lomond, with the help of his wife Catherine and three sons, Sweeney's Cruises now operate the most luxurious fleet of passenger boats in Scotland.
