A great trip to Inchcolm - We done the Inchcolm island visit and i can't recommend it enough. What a great time we had. Very informative narration on the boat (as well as a bar :-) ) . The island itself is beautiful with its free to explore abbey, and WW2 defensive ruins. Very fair prices as well.

Will recommend to all my family and friends. - Really friendly crew, bar on board was reasonably priced and had a good selection. Tour itself was fun, interesting and educational. We saw seals which was great and the captain was good enough to turn the engine off as to not scare them. 10/10 would recommend to anyone.

Excellent trip! - This boat ride was an excellent way to see a bit more of the region outside of Edinburgh. Very informative professional and comfortable. I would highly recommend it to anyone seeking something to do for an afternoon outside the city.

Maid our day - The boat is very comfortable and the crew are great. We had a lovely sail to inchcolm island and also had a drink and some snacks on the onboard shop which was very reasonable. The commentary was excellent and we thoroughly enjoyed our sail.

A great day out. - I booked the thirty minute tour as a surprise for my wife’s birthday but when I told her where she was going I have to say she was less than impressed. We boarded at Hawes pier and when we set off the skipper introduced himself and told us that an audio commentary would be provided for the rest of the trip. The commentary was first rate and informed us about all the history of the Forth and the islands and the places of special interest we passed. The weather dry and the Firth pretty calm so that enabled to sit out on the upper deck. When we returned to the pier my wife said that she had thoroughly enjoyed her day out and loved the commentary. Well done to all involved.
