Lifeboat volunteers rescued two pleasure boats grounded on rocks over the weekend.
A group of five holidaymakers from Belgium, including two teenage children, were plucked to safety by the Loch Ness crew after their cruiser ran into difficulties near Fort Augustus.
And the Oban lifeboat was called to the aid of a yacht which ran aground north of Insh Island the following day.
The Loch Ness boat – crewed by Linda Izquierdo Ross, Joy Cameron and Garry MacLeod – launched after reports that a cruiser had hit submerged rocks near Cherry Island at 2pm on Friday.
After confirming there were no injuries and that the vessel was still watertight, they towed the stricken vessel from the rocks and escorted it to Fort Augustus.
Loch Ness volunteer crew member Martin Douglas said: “This is something we train for regularly as there are quite a few areas on the loch where vessels can run aground.
“We were extremely fortunate to have Linda Izquierdo Ross on board the lifeboat, as French is one of the many languages she can speak fluently.
“I’m sure this played a significant part in helping and reassuring the family.”
Volunteers from the Inverness Coastguard team also responded and were on hand at Fort Augustus to help with mooring the cruiser and carrying out further checks.
The entire rescue operation was coordinated by the duty team in the Aberdeen Coastguard Operations Centre.
Oban Lifeboat launched around 6.30pm on Saturday after Stornoway Coastguard reported a 38ft yacht on rocks just north of Insh Island.
On arrival at the scene, just west of the Isle of Seil, the crew sent out their smaller craft with a tow line and the vessel was pulled clear of the rocks on the rising tide.
After checks to ensure everything was in order, the yacht was able to return to Obanpower to Oban.
