Good sailing trips fill up weeks ahead and the great ones go first. Below: the 4 to book early, what each includes and how they differ.
See Edinburgh’s Royal Yacht Britannia, Holyroodhouse, and Edinburgh Castle on a port pickup tour with guide commentary and ship-safe timing.
“Tour guide Dave is very knowledgeable and kindly. He went above and beyond taking us to extra viewpoints. Driver Adam is assured us a very smooth ride. I’d recommend this tour.”
Review of Edinburgh’s 8-hour shore tour, with Britannia, Edinburgh Castle, the Royal Mile, guide tips, costs, and port logistics.
“Our guide was very knowledgeable, and knew his way around the narrow streets. He was able to show us things most groups would have missed. He gave us the perfect amount of time at each of our stops. Very pleasant day trip.”
Sail beneath Edinburgh’s Forth Bridges to Inchcolm Island on a small-group catamaran trip with helm time, Abbey views, tea, and coffee.
“When I checked the weather for Edinburgh and the Firth of Forth I must confess I was concerned. However, the skipper and his crew were capable and confident under reefed sails - even to allow myself and another aspiring sailor opportunities at the helm. A lovely day on the water with all kinds of weather. For those of you who enjoy sailing - this is a “don’t miss” opportunity.”
Sail beneath Edinburgh’s Forth Rail Bridge, anchor near Inchkeith Island for lunch, and enjoy a small-group day on the Firth of Forth.
“Colin and the crew were awesome and very personable! I loved being allowed to sail the boat for a few minutes.”
