An excellent afternoon. Very lucky with the weather and an interesting commentary as we sailed on the Forth where we passed lovely little villages and as far as the Blackness Castle. We were a group of ladies who also enjoy our coffee and cream scone. Would be happy to repeat the experience.

Went with my Husband as a gift. Relaxing lovely informative boat trip. Friendly Staff from the get go from Reception to onboard. Seal spotting, Castles, the History. All fab! The Cream Tea just added to the already great experience we left feeling very looked after and spoiled with table service. Absolutely could not fault a thing. Highly recommended and already looking at coming back with our Adult kids and grandkids to do it all again.
