Plymouth Boat Trips Goes in Search of the Monster of Plymouth Sound with new Sonar Equipped Vessel for 2026
Plymouth Boat Trips has introduced a sleek, modern new vessel to its fleet of cruise boats and ferries for 2026.
The Legend of Plymouth, formerly the Legend of Loch Ness, has been brought down from the Scottish Highlands, having previously cruised Loch Ness in search of the mythical creature Nessie, said to inhabit the Loch.
The boat comes complete with advanced echo sounding sonar equipment and screens on board to view what lies beneath the water’s surface.
Owner of Plymouth Boat Trips, Ben Squire said:
“The Legend of Loch Ness is a fantastic, spacious and versatile addition to our fleet, with capacity for 107 passengers it’s perfect for both our river cruises and network of foot ferry routes that service Plymouth and South East Cornwall.”
The Legend of Plymouth has a modern design, open top deck and enclosed, carpeted and heated saloon, bar and two toilets on board.
Ben added:
“The onboard sonar equipment and three screens fitted around the boat, means passengers can see the incredible rock formations that lie beneath the surface of Plymouth Sound and the River Tamar, perhaps we’ll spot our own sea monster!”
