INCHCOLM ISLAND IS NOW CLOSED AND WILL REOPEN ON 1 APRIL 2023
Our Three Bridges Cruise is available to book with sailings from 11am. This November there is also 50% off two adult tickets.
Relax onboard with friends and family and listen to the guided commentary while you enjoy a beverage or snack from the bar. Take in the spectacular views of the Three Bridges, the beautiful panoramas of the Edinburgh skyline to the south and the Kingdom of Fife to the north, the island of Inchcolm with its medieval abbey, and the islands of Inchgarvie, Inchkeith, and Inchmickery.
Look out for the marine wildlife including seals and puffins.
Don’t forget to book your Walking Tour
You should add a minimum 1½ hours when landing on Inchcolm Island. Explore the island’s historic Abbey – The ‘Iona of the east’ one of the best-preserved group of monastic buildings in Scotland. The Island is also a haven for wildlife and is well-known for its wartime coastal defences. Book a walking tour of the island to discover more.
(You must purchase a landing pass to land on Inchcolm Island)
Please note that on the days when we are landing on the island the last sailing of the day does NOT allow for a stopover on Inchcolm Island. We only stop at Inchcolm on the final sailing to collect passengers. Inchcolm Island is not suitable for wheelchair users.
Do something really special on your trip and add a guided walking tour to your ticket. Discover the incredible history of this magnificent island with a local guide. From the iconic abbey to wartime fortifications, Inchcolm has seen it all. Walk in the footsteps of history as you travel through Inchcolm’s centuries and make the most of your time on the island.
The tours last 45-60 minutes. Pick up your ticket at the kiosk before boarding the boat, then your guide will meet you on the island once you get off the boat – easy! You will still have at least 40 minutes of your own time to explore the island after the tour before the next sailing off the island.
* TOURS BEGIN 30th April
During your cruise look out for the marine wildlife including many seabirds, seals and watch out for the occasional porpoise. Binoculars are available to hire for a small, refundable deposit. Just ask a member of our crew.

There is a café-bar serving a selection of hot and cold drinks and light snacks. Guests are welcome to enjoy the sea breeze and views from the outside decks, some of which have weatherproof seating. If the weather is less inviting, the observation lounge has fantastic views. A guided commentary means you won’t miss a thing wherever you sit. And, of course, you will get to see the three Forth bridges as you have never seen them before.
