Sobre Jacobite

Jacobite ¿Quiénes somos?

POR MÁS DE CUARENTA AÑOS, LOCH NESS BY JACOBITE HA RECIBIDO A BORDO A AVENTUREROS EN LAS TIERRAS ALTAS. ¿PARA QUÉ? PARA VIAJAR EN CRUCERO POR LOS MISTERIOS Y MITOS DEL MUNDIALMENTE FAMOSO LOCH NESS, POR SUPUESTO.

Nuestra amable tripulación está compuesta por verdaderos profesionales en sus áreas. De hecho, cada año reciben a casi 300.000 visitantes en cruceros premiados y tours a bordo con nuestra impresionante flota. Siempre con una sonrisa.

No importa lo que quieras ver, fotografíar o explorar en el corazón de Loch Ness, nosotros ofrecemos una colección tamaño monstruo de cruceros y tours para adaptarnos a ti y ayudarte a que tu viaje a Loch Ness sea increíble.

Read Our Nessie history

Our success is down to years of hard work, monster know-how, and enthusiasm about all things Loch Ness.

Desde el primer día en 1975, hemos creído que vosotros —nuestros clientes— son lo más importante. Por eso, hacemos todo lo Nessie-sario para mantenerles seguros y ofrecerles una aventura única en la vida.

La propietaria, Freda, quien ha liderado el negocio Jacobite desde 2002, piensa lo mismo. Con una visión para abrir las increíbles costas de Nessie a más y más aventureros intrépidos, ¡Freda ha aumentado la cantidad de pasajeros de 35 000 a casi 300 000! ¡A todo el mundo le encantan nuestros cruceros!

Con grupos de tour más grandes, nuestros pequeños barcos debían crecer. Entonces la querida flota de los cruceros Jacobite celebró su jubilación cuando la década de los 2000 llegó a su fin. ¿Y la nueva generación? Un equipo de elegantes catamaranes franceses que navegaron al Norte para mantener con vida nuestros tours y marcar el inicio de una era emocionante de tours todo en uno —con traslados en coches y barcos, y visitas incluidas— bajo nuestro nuevo nombre ‘Loch Ness by Jacobite’.

El futuro es prometedor en nuestro café y destino vacacional valorados por £2 millones de libras: con An Talla en Dochgarroch Lock, que abrió en 2019, y nuestros alojamientos de alquiler Loch Ness Cottage Collection, que abrieron en 2020. Este es solo el último capítulo en la historia de uno de los destinos más legendarios de Escocia. ¡Que sigamos navegando con vosotros por mucho tiempo!

Lots of fun For little monsters

For wee ones (and big kids at heart), Loch Ness is in a word… legendary! It’s practically bursting its myth-packed shores with legends, castles, and fun things to see – including that world-famous monster.

We go to extra lengths to make sure that children enjoy every single monster-hunting minute on the waters of Loch Ness.

Our activity book, audio guide, on-screen sonar (so they can see what lurks beneath) and our intrepid Monster Patrol (that's the crew to me and you) are all here on board to make sure that kids go home with lots of memories. And, of course, lots of brave tales to impress their friends!

And remember – if your little monster is under the age of 5, they can enjoy the whole experience absolutely free*. It’s our way of welcoming the adventurers of tomorrow on board!

With all that excitement and fresh air, your monster hunters can work up quite the appetite. But don’t worry – we’ve got plenty of snacks and juice on board (plus a coffee or a wee dram for the grown ups) to keep those rumbly tums at bay.
