About

This private full-day charter for up to 10 people allows your group to enjoy exclusive use of our luxury catamaran. Following a safety briefing, you will set off from the marina under the famous Forth Bridge and downriver past the various islands of the Forth. This is a flexible itinerary to suit your needs, however, we usually anchor off Inchkeith Island for a picnic lunch or visit various harbours along the way.

A full day private charter is the perfect way to spend quality time with your friends and family. You can also bring your own picnic lunch and a bottle of wine or champagne with you to fully enjoy a day out.

You will have your own skipper and crew and can take the helm yourself if you wish to try out sailing. Or you can just relax and enjoy the day.

Adventure Tips

Bring Sunscreen and Sunglasses

The open water reflects sunlight strongly, so protect your skin and eyes during your day on the catamaran.

Wear Non-Slip Footwear

Decks can be slippery when wet, so sturdy, non-slip shoes will keep you safe while moving around the boat.

Motion Sickness Preparedness

If you’re prone to seasickness, bring medication or remedies to ensure a comfortable trip.

Pack a Waterproof Layer

Weather on the Forth can change quickly; a lightweight waterproof jacket will keep you dry without overheating.
