Sweeneys Cruises
Sweeneys Cruises is based in Dunbartonshire, Glasgow, and offers a professional and friendly team to help you have a great time and enjoy the experiences available.
Whether you’re joining us for one of our daily sightseeing cruises, a celebration or a memorable corporate event, you'll find our luxury fleet of boats are equipped for the occasion - all against the most beautiful of backdrops, Loch Lomond.
One of the longest running family businesses in Scotland, Sweeney's Cruise Co. has operated boats on Loch Lomond since the 1880s, and in that time has come to know every inch of the Loch's 23 miles, its varied wildlife, wealth of history, legend and folklore.
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.

- Experience Cruise (1 Hour)
- Island Discovery (2 Hours)
