Four boats. One pontoon.
Pick the day, pick the boat.
A Zodiac 5.5 Open, a Quicksilver 705 Weekend, and two SeaRay SPX cruisers — the 210 and the 230. Different boats for different days, all moored at Bandry Bay, all maintained, cleaned and ready before you arrive.
SPORT & WATERSPORTS
Zodiac 5.5 Open
The fast, agile RIB-style open boat — perfect for watersports days, towing wakeboarders and tubes, fishing the loch, and short bursts of speed. The boat members reach for when they want to feel the water, not glide over it.

The fleet is on a rolling replacement cycle. New boats added each season; tier and home-club access determine which boats are bookable.
The boats at home and at speed.

Different boats for different moods.
Members tend to develop preferences within the first season. Here is the most common pattern of which boat gets booked when.
Zodiac 5.5 Open
Wakeboard sessions, towing tubes, hot afternoons with kids who want to swim from the boat. The “let’s just go fast” choice.
Quicksilver 705
Lunch at Inversnaid, picnic at Inchmurrin, a sheltered helm in mixed weather. Cabin if it rains, deck if it doesn’t.
SeaRay SPX 210
Half-day to Luss for ice cream, the swim-platform morning at Inchcailloch, the boat that is easiest to dock for newer skippers.
SeaRay SPX 230
Eight-up family Sunday, corporate hospitality runs, the larger sundeck stern for picnic-on-the-water afternoons.
Premium marques, chosen deliberately.
The Lomond fleet is built on world-class marques — Sea Ray sport cruisers, a Quicksilver weekender with Mercury Marine power, and a Zodiac, the world’s most recognised RIB brand. Different boats for different days, all chosen for reliability, comfort and ease of handling.
Whichever boat you take, you are taking one that is on a commercial-grade service schedule, valeted between every booking and insured under the club policy.
Designed for what members actually book.
Most members book day boats most of the time — short, social, family-of-six trips with a swim and a picnic at one of the islands. So that is what most of the fleet is. The Quicksilver and the Zodiac give members the variety to do other things on other days.
Maintained
Each boat goes through a commercial-standard service schedule. No “I’ll fix it next weekend.” No outstanding tasks waiting for you on day one of summer.
Valeted
Every boat is cleaned between every booking. Your seats are dry, the floor is wiped, the windscreen is clear, and there is no one else’s lunch in the cabin.
Insured
Insurance is arranged at commercial level and covers all named members on every boat in the fleet. You don’t carry a separate policy or pay an excess.
Fuelled
The boat arrives full. Fuel is a separate, at-cost charge against your account. No card-machine queue at the marina.
Replaced
Boats are replaced or rotated through the fleet on a rolling cycle so the average age of the fleet stays low.
Backed up
If a boat is taken out of service for any reason, you get the next-equivalent boat on the day. No “we’re sorry, we’ll need to cancel.”
A floating event venue moored at Bandry Bay.
Beyond the four-boat fleet, The Lomond Lounge — our purpose-built 15m × 5m floating venue is part of every membership tier. 15m × 5m purpose-built floating event venue with a glazed main deck, a 270° upper terrace and a cedar sauna on board. Capacity 30 standing or 60 with the private beach. Late licence to 23:00.
The pontoon visit takes 15 minutes.
Walk Bandry Bay, see all four boats up close, ask the kind of question you can only ask while standing next to a SeaRay SPX 230. Free of charge, no commitment.
