If the weather is kind this is a lovely few hours cruise to try. My family, all adults, tried it and really enjoyed our time on board. The weather played ball with us and it was not too busy so we were able to sit outside and enjoy the commentary and the additional information passed to us from a very pleasant member of staff. For a trip of this nature it is not expensive and you can stop off on the island for a couple of hours and get the next boat back. If you wish.

Long, pointless, boring, never gets close to anything, sat at the island for quite some time for no reason, no puffins. Thousands of seagulls. Island is not interesting. View of edinburgh skyline is a dubious claim. Gnome Island with some dead gnomes. Oil platforms. Can't recommend.

We did the cruise which included a landing on Inchcolm Island and were delighted that we got 2.5 hours ashiore not just 1.5 as listed. We also stopped as we passed a buoy with 2 seals on so everyone could see.
Everything was as or better than described- the only minor cha ge I would have liked would be to go just a little further after passing under Queensferry bridge to allow a photo including tge whole bridge.

The whole thing . The Three bridges were an awesome sight . Lovely area especially when sunny . Boat ride while, saw seals, but didn’t take photos that close sadly . Saw lots of gnomes though !!

We were there to see the bridges. Specifically the Forth Train Bridge. Even a little rain didn’t dampen our spirits or our views. The staff was great and my husband spent quite a bit of time in the ticket office prior to our journey learning even more about the bridges from one of the excellent staff. We were able to sit up top and experienced the most amazing views of all three bridges. We were really looking forward to this excursion and they met our every expectation. Fabulous!.

Everything about this trip is excellent
Very easy to precook online and worth every penny
All staff are extremely friendly and knowledgeable
The views are amazing and there are lots of photo opportunities
Commentary informative without being intrusive
On our return trip the captain slowed down so that we could see a large sea lion sunning itself on a buoy
Can’t recommend enough
Also an opportunity to support the RNLI at the shop on the pier
