  • Fun boat trip!

    The boat tour was fun, with lots of facts about the area and wildlife, and of course the bridges. The staff were friendly and had lots of extra stories and fun facts to offer as we sailed. Getting off at Incholm Island was the highlight, the Abbey had so much to see, plus walking to the war area was great too. Going through that tunnel and then the views from the top, amazing. Would absolutely recommend the boat tour with the island stop!

    We thoroughly enjoyed this 90 minute cruise, viewing the 3 bridges up close and also spending time cruising other areas of the harbour. We were able to see several groups of seals. The crew were friendly and informative. I would recommend this excursion.

    We thoroughly enjoyed this boat trip. Great views of the three bridges, and plenty to see travelling around the Firth of Forth. Staff were very helpful. Also, due to mobility issues among our party, we rang in advance to find out which trip would be the easiest for boarding due to tides, they were very helpful and we found boarding (and disembarking) really straightforward.

    A brilliant trip - the boat was great with plenty of space outside to move around and take photos. The commentary was very interesting and we learned a lot about the history and the construction of the three bridges. The captain slowed the boat and carefully manoeuvred so we could see some huge seals resting on a buoy. Inchcolm island and the Abbey were delightful - plenty to walk round and see and lots of history. The staff on the boat and island were friendly and helpful. We would highly recommend this tour.

  • Do this, it's worth it.

    We did the 3 bridges tour with an excursion onto Inchcolm Island. The cruise was excellent with a really good commentary, The crew were very friendly and spoke to numerous passengers to enhance the trip. The boat also diverted to various protruding crags to show seals basking on the rocks. The island excursion to Inchcolm Abbey was also extremely interesting. The ruin is quite intact and has good information boards - managed by Nature Scotland.
