One more giant monster emerged yesterday on the surface of Loch Ness. The name of the new monster is Jacobite Warrior is 24.5 meters long catamaran who can carry up to 1500 tourists a day. This is biggest loch-based cruise boat in Scotland owned bu Jacobite Cruises.
The catamaran has an observation deck, bar area, luxury seating, audio guides describing history of the Loch, along with sightings of the Loch Ness Monster.

Jacobite Cruises owner of Freda Newton, said: "The Jacobite Warrior joins our fleet of three cruise ships with the ability to carry over 250 passengers in comfort. She is more twice the size of any other cruise boat on the Loch and we believe the first catamaran on the water here."This investment will allow us to provide a magical Loch Ness experience for up to 1,500 tourists on the Warrior every day, in addition to 900 each day between the Jacobite Queen and Jacobite Legend. In the last few years we’ve seen numbers surge, particularly from groups from China, Brazil and Russia.

Chairman of VisitScotland Mike Cantlay, said: "The launch of the Jacobite Warrior is fantastic news for the Highlands of Scotland and will help encourage even more visitors to this wonderful part of Scotland. The Highlands of Scotland offers unrivalled scenery, great visitor attractions and quality accommodation and this latest addition to the area’s attractions portfolio is a welcome investment into tourism which is essential to economies of both the Highlands and Scotland."
