Firth of Forth Luxury Yacht Sailing Full Day for Two
About this experience
Enjoy a spectacular day out on the water with this Firth of Forth Luxury Yacht Sailing Full Day for Two. Combining luxury travel with historic sights of Scotland, this full day of sailing will take you past the islands of Inchgarvie, Inchcolm, Inchmickery and Inchkeith, where history abounds, as well as plenty of marine wildlife, including local seals.
Discover unique sights of the Forth Rail Bridge as you pass underneath; built in the 1890s, it’s considered one of the engineering wonders of the world. If you’re feeling brave, you’re more than welcome to take the helm and learn the ropes as you sail down the Forth with the guidance of your knowledgeable skipper; alternatively, just sit back, relax and enjoy the views as they pass you by.
An exceptional day out for anyone looking for something different, you can enjoy unparalleled views of the Edinburgh skyline from the water, as well as the novelty of sailing on the only catamaran on the East Coast of Scotland.

“Fantastic Sail Catamaran Experience”
My wife and I had a great experience sailing on the Firth of Forth with Skipper Colin, Mate Forrester and the other 3 guests having a Virgin sail experience. Seeing the structure of the Forth Bridge from the water was just amazing. The wind was poor and therefore it was difficult to make good headway under sail however, the skipper worked hard to show us places of interest. On the way back to our birth we ran into a thunder and lightning storm which was quite dramatic. A Great Memorable day.

What happens on the day?
On arrival at Port Edgar Marina, you’ll meet your RYA Yachtmaster, who’ll show you on board and tell you all about your boat over a cup of tea and coffee. Once everyone’s ready to go, it’s time to hit the water; beginning with an awe-inspiring journey under the Forth Rail Bridge, you’ll then circumnavigate the nearby islands, reaching as far as Inchkeith, before heading back to Port Edgar Marina.
If you fancy it, you can try your hand at taking the helm, or alternatively just relax and take in the views from aboard your luxury voyager.
Bring a packed lunch, as you’ll anchor at some point during the day to take a rest and enjoy some food.
Please note that you will usually be taken out on the catamaran, unless a guest specifically requests the monohull. You will be informed of the boat you will be on the week prior to your experience.
