Fantastic tour and great value for the money, whatever the weather. The trip give some stunning views from an unquie location.
This was a very informative cruise, and beautiful scenery. We didn’t book to stop off at the island but certainly would next time. The crew were very friendly and helpful and we would recommend for anyone to take this cruise.
Thank you for the lovely review. We’re delighted you enjoyed the commentary, beautiful scenery and found our crew friendly and helpful. It sounds like an Inchcolm Island landing is definitely on the list for next time! Thank you for recommending us, and we look forward to welcoming you back onboard.
Fantastic experience would definitely recommend and we will be going again.But next time we're gonna book the isle of visit to.
Thank you for the fantastic review. We’re delighted you had such a great experience and would recommend us. We’ll look forward to welcoming you back for an Inchcolm Island landing trip next time, there’s plenty to explore.
A great time had and felt kids were safe on boat. Unable to hear commentary most of time due to engine noise at back which was a shame as what we did hear was interesting info. Staff very friendly and helpful. Toilet and facilities were needed.
Thank you for your feedback. We’re delighted you all had a great time and, most importantly, that you felt the children were safe and well looked after onboard. We’re also pleased you found our team friendly and helpful. We’re sorry you struggled to hear the commentary from the back of the boat. Unfortunately, engine noise can be more noticeable in this area, but our crew are always happy to increase the commentary volume where possible if you let them know. Thank you again for sailing with us, and we hope to welcome you and the family back onboard.
It was great to drive under the bridges. We saw seals and a beautiful abbey. It was fun.
Vielen Dank für Ihre tolle Bewertung. Es freut uns sehr, dass Ihnen die Fahrt unter den Brücken, die Robben und der Blick auf die wunderschöne Inchcolm Abbey gefallen haben. Schön, dass Sie so viel Spaß bei uns hatten – wir hoffen, Sie bald wieder an Bord begrüßen zu dürfen.
We booked this trip on a whim after seeing the forecast for beautiful day, and we had a fantastic time. Lovely being out on the Firth of Forth and getting to travel under the bridge coming and going. Nice trip length too. We ate dinner nearby in town.
Thank you for the lovely review. We’re so glad your spontaneous decision paid off and you had such a fantastic day on the Forth. Sailing underneath the bridges really is a special experience, especially when the weather is on your side! We hope to welcome you aboard again sometime.
I had some time to kill whilst visiting Edinburgh and didn’t fancy the city especially during fringe so headed out to The Forth Bridge. I was able to book my ticket there and then and they even took cash ! The trip was amazing. The commentary was informative without being over the top and it was so relaxing being out on the water. The boat was really comfortable with a decent capacity and very friendly and knowledgable staff. Seeing those amazing bridges from up close / underneath was incredible as was seeing the various other vessels and of course the wildlife on the small islands. I cannot recommended this trip highly enough, it was well worth the money and when next in Edinburgh I would gladly do it again.
Thank you so much for such a fantastic review. We’re delighted you decided to escape the Fringe crowds and spend some time with us on the Forth. It’s wonderful to hear you enjoyed the commentary, the comfort of the boat, our friendly crew and, of course, those incredible views of the bridges from the water. We really appreciate the recommendation and would love to welcome you aboard again next time you’re in Edinburgh.
A fantastic trip with lots of interesting information. We'll definitely plan a visit to the island next time. For a spontaneous decision, it was one of the best trips we've taken in a long time – worth every penny.
Thank you so much for the fantastic review! We’re delighted you decided to join us and had such a great time. We’d love to welcome you back for a visit to Inchcolm Island next time – it’s definitely worth exploring! 😊⚓
Courtney was exceptional at sorting out our tickets. The crew were always available and approachable letting you know what would happen next and where to be. The commentary was excellent giving a lot of information. We managed to explore the abbey and up towards the transmitter leaving the other side of the island for another day. Excellent teamwork and a worthwhile trip. Thank you.
Thank you for your wonderful review! We’re delighted you had such an enjoyable trip and found the commentary informative. We’ll be sure to pass your lovely comments on to our staff. It sounds like you’ve got the perfect excuse to come back and explore the rest of Inchcolm! 😊⚓
