Half Day Sailing Trip

Posted By : Kerry_K
Delighted I booked this for my dad’s 80th. Great choice!
There were 3 of us, including my 20yr old son and we absolutely loved it!
Massive thanks to skipper Colin and Simon who were fantastic on every level and made us all feel so welcome on-board this beautiful boat for a perfect day. Everybody had the opportunity to take a wee turn at taking the helm. We were blessed with great weather which also helps.
Next stop - sailing lessons for myself and young Ryan! 🚢😂

We had a wonderful time on the Catamaran with stunning views of the bridges and a chance to steer too. Staff are knowledgeable, friendly and relaxed. Highly recommended.

We had a fabulous half day sailing trip under the forth bridges a couple of weeks ago . Highly recommend this company . Very professional/ knowledgeable but friendly too . My husband had a go at sailing the catamaran which he loved ! . We had a beautiful afternoon for sailing though sometimes a little windy . 3 1//2 hours of actually bliss , so relaxing . Hoping to book up again for next year 😍 .

Fabulous afternoon sailing in the Forth with Colin. 10 of us altogether but the boat was not crowded. Mix of experienced and inexperienced sailors and we all got to sail, tack etc over the afternoon. Brilliant day out and highly recommended!

What a Lovely way to spend a Sunday afternoon. Great sailing under the bridges and up to Blackness. Colin great skipper, even allowed my husband a go at the wheel. Even although we are local I would highly recommend to all Edinburgers and visitors alike ! Will certainly return with mine.

Great sailing weather with one of the most experienced and pleasant skippers.
Would really recommend this experience to anyone. Nothing too much trouble.
Nice driving the Cat.

Cruised on the Edinburgh castle catamaran, the crew were very friendly and professional, everyone was made very welcome. Everyone was offered a chance to steer the boat and the crew pointed out various landmarks and points of interest. We were extremely lucky with the weather and all in all it was a super experience.

First time sailing and the wind gusty. However the cat makes it much more stable and the leader extremely sociable and helpful. A superb afternoon on the forth, seeing many islands I have not been so close to before. Recommend this fully.

I contacted Edinburgh Boat Charters about several charter options, had many questions as my plans fluctuated but Ellie was very patient and responded in a timely manner. I had two couples with me and we sailed for a lovely half day in Edinburgh. Captain was knowledgeable, easy going and shared a wealth of information about the area.
I sail mono-hulls so this was my first time on a catamaran and I enjoyed it enough to make me want to go on catamarans again. My only regret was that i didn't have time to book the full day.
Of note in getting there and back - it's a bit of a hike from Edinburgh's city centre so count on a good 20 - 25 ride out by taxi. Worth the drive and I hope to sail with them again!

Arranged this family trip as surprise for grandson Chris and he was very happy. He steered the boat all afternoon but did allow his sister to have a go. Colin and mate were great and other passengers friendly too. Nice tea/coffee and biscuits to start us off. Weather wasnt great to start but sun and blue skies arrived to make it a wonderful experience. Not a lot of room to sit at front but we managed.
