Maid of the Forth

Forth Bridges Sightseeing Boat Trips and Inchcolm Island Ferry Our spectacular sightseeing boat trips depart daily from the Hawes Pier in South Queensferry, Edinburgh and we offer 1½ hour sightseeing cruises where you can get unrivalled views of the magnificent Forth Bridges from our open top deck. Our daily boat trips to Inchcolm Island are consistently voted as of the best things to do in Edinburgh every summer. There is an abundance of marine wildlife to be seen such as Grey Seals, Puffins, Guillemots, Razorbills and the occasional sightings of porpoises, dolphins and even Minke whales. Our daily sailings all stop off at Inchcolm Island where you have the option of getting off the boat and spending 90mins exploring the magnificent Inchcolm Abbey and Island before boarding the boat again and returning to South Queensferry. We also offer a range of evening cruises with either a Jazz band, Folk band or Disco and along with our well stocked ships bar and optional BBQ Ribeye Steak supper make for a great night out. The Maid is also available for charter for any private events that you wish to hold in a unique setting, from birthday parties, staff nights out to corporate presentations / conference facilities please get in touch and we can see what we can do for you.
