Firth of Forth Luxury Sailing Taster for Two
About this experience
Enjoy a truly unique sail aboard the only catamaran on the East Coast of Scotland with this Firth of Forth Luxury Sailing Taster for Two.
Meet your RYA Yachtmaster who’ll introduce you to the day’s vessel. Sip down a cup of tea or coffee before departing the harbour and hitting the water. As you sail out, you’ll pass under the world-famous Forth Rail Bridge. Built in the 1890s, the bridge is considered one of the preeminent engineering feats of the Victorian era. Keep an eye out for the local seals and unparalleled views of the Edinburgh skyline as you cruise around Inchgarvie Island, before making your way back to Port Edgar Marina. Sit back and relax or get a little more hands-on, the skipper will let you take the helm as you sail down the Forth.
A memorable experience for sailing fans looking to try something different or for anyone who fancies a taste of life on-board an amazing catamaran.

“A Grand day out”
We were very lucky with the weather which was calm and sunny with clear views. We had a warm and friendly welcome and coffee and cake before we set off. The day was relaxing and the views spectacular. The skipper and crew were very informative and explained what we were seeing and the controls of the boat. We were also allowed to steer the boat if we wished.
“Great experience ”
