This was an unexpected trip for me, it was just superb. I booked online and paid £21 for the landing trip to Inchcolm Island and Abbey. I have Historic Scotland Membership, otherwise, you are an extra £8 for the Abbey on the Island. The whole trip lasts three hours with Ihr 30 minutes on the Island which is ample time. It is quite fantastic to sail under the Forth Railway Bridge, what a structure it is. We saw seals on route and were given a running commentary as we sailed - it was very good. Once on the Island you are welcomed by the Historic Scotland warden. It is a very helpful what to expect and general do and don't on the Island. On route back we were taken under the other two bridges that cross the Forth. This is a highly recommended trip, make sure you wear good clothes and shoes. It is colder on the water, it was September and I had a hat on. I also took my own packed lunch as there are no facilities on the Island.

It's been a nice little cruise on the Firth of Forth. I learned a lot about the bridges and islands in the Forth. One can land on Inchcolm Island, but today I just took the short cruise. The crew was perfectly friendly.

Absolutely loved my trip on the boat. You learn so much. I'm fascinated by the design of the bridges but you don't appreciate how huge they are until the cruise. The crew were lovely and I would go again in a heartbeat.

Had a lovely wee morning out with the family, Staff were very friendly and welcoming. Our girls aged 1& 3 loved it too, Beautiful sights and great wee information/facts that are given throughout the trip. We opted for the extra of having a high tea which was great food was really nice⭐️ We were also lucky enough to see some seals resting on their wee island and got some beautiful views of inchcolm island. They have both indoor seating and outdoor and also a bar inside for drinks and snacks. Overall was a great experience, think we will take my mum next time and opt for the additional landing on the inchcolm island to explore the historic buildings etc. ⛴️🥂

We had a great time on the maid of the forth this morning. All the staff were very friendly and helpful. We managed to get great seats and really you would have had great views wherever you sat in the boat. We have one 5 year old and one 10 year old, I was a little worried about the younger one, but I was absolutely fine, very safe and we were able to move around the boat and also get a tunnocks caramel wafer to keep him going ! There is lots of information on the sound system of the area which is very helpful to know what’s around you. We were also lucky enough to see seals ! I would definitely return for another trip and I highly reccomend. Loos on board clean and tidy.
