A cruise with Sweeney's

Balloch Road, by the River Leven, Balloch

Address: Sweeney's Cruises, Riverside, Balloch G83 8SS
  • Activity
  • Mid-price
  • Dog friendly
  • Best in Spring, Summer, Autumn
  • Outdoors
  • Romantic

Sail from the river in the middle of Balloch out onto the loch and round the wooded islands, with a skipper telling the stories as you go.

Why it's a good date: The easiest way to see the loch properly without a boat of your own. The evening cruise is the romantic one, there's a ferry to Luss if you'd rather make a day of it, and well-behaved dogs are welcome aboard.
