Taymouth Marina Launches UK’s First Cruising Sauna on Loch Tay

Wild wellness meets slow luxury in the Scottish Highlands

Highland Perthshire has just turned up the heat on luxury travel. Taymouth Marina, the lochside resort celebrated for its HotBox Spa and breathtaking views, has unveiled a UK first – the HotBoat Cruising Sauna.

Set against the glassy expanse of Loch Tay and the towering presence of Ben Lawers, this new experience takes the ancient art of hot and cold therapy and sets it afloat. Designed for up to six guests, the HotBoat is helmed by an experienced skipper and offers an intimate, restorative voyage through one of Scotland’s most scenic landscapes.

From Heat to Highland Waters

Guests are invited to step into the warmth of a bespoke wood-fired sauna, then plunge into Loch Tay’s pristine, invigorating waters before retreating to the heat once more – a therapeutic cycle known to boost circulation, ease muscle tension, and lift mood. It’s wellness with a wilder edge, and every moment comes framed by panoramic views of mountains, forests, and Highland wildlife.

Luxury Slow Travel at Its Finest

“We wanted to create something that was both rooted in Scottish nature and utterly unlike anything else in the UK,” says Taymouth Marina’s Resort Director, Colin Farndon. “The HotBoat is the ultimate in slow luxury – time to disconnect, breathe, and experience the Highlands in an entirely new way.”

Perfect for small groups seeking privacy, the experience blends exclusivity with adventure. Think serene cruising, ever-changing views, and the pure escapism that comes from swapping screens for scenery and schedules for the rhythm of the loch.

Your Invitation to Unwind

Whether you’re a sauna devotee or simply curious about combining wellness with water, Taymouth Marina’s HotBoat promises to be one of Scotland’s most unforgettable new escapes.
