A fantastic boat trip from South Queensferry! Cruising under the Forth Bridges with great views and entertaining commentary sets the scene, but Inchcolm Island steals the show. The abbey is beautifully preserved, the island peaceful, and there’s even a chance to spot seals. Friendly crew, smooth ride, and plenty of time to explore. Highly recommended for history lovers and nature seekers alike. ❤️❤️

I live in Edinburgh and had never been to Inchcolm island. My daughter and I went today. Trip was very good, with commentary on boat about the history of Inchcolm and the surrounding area. Had about 1 1/2 on the island, luckily the weather was good. Would thoroughly recommend boat trip and Forth Boat Tours.

Fantastic experience, great commentary on board with very friendly staff also telling us some interesting facts and stories. Great views of the 3 forth bridges, little islands and more. Even got to see some seals and a pack of dolphins which was incredible! Dog friendly, snacks and bar on board and very comfortable seating made for a lovely 1.5 hour sailing from the dock.
