Here are the 4 sailing trips that stand up to a full day out: what each costs, how long you are on the road, and which suits a first trip. Number one is first for a reason.
Edinburgh in one day: Royal Yacht Britannia, Holyroodhouse photo stop, and Edinburgh Castle with round trip pickup from cruise ports.
“We did not ever receive a response from the tour guide once we reached out due to the cruise port issue.”
Half day catamaran sailing from Port Edgar to Inchcolm Abbey, passing under the Forth Bridges with coffee and time at the helm.
“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 from Port Edgar under the Forth Rail Bridge, stop at Inchkeith for lunch, and cruise back with Edinburgh skyline views.
“Colin and the crew were awesome and very personable! I loved being allowed to sail the boat for a few minutes.”
Private 6-hour sailing from Oban aboard Yacht Chinwag, with a relaxed lunch stop in the Firth of Lorne, dolphins, and whisky.
“Phenomenal and educational experience! Highly recommend this tour. The food was also top notch! Thank you so much!!”
