Thank you so much to Colin and Harry for our trip yesterday! Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the sail and they had nothing but great things to say on our drive home. We did 3-4 hours of sailing, stopped for lunch in Oban and then continued for another 3-4 hours of sailing in the afternoon. We were allowed to be hands on and get involved in the activity as much or as little as we liked. Very welcoming and accommodating. Would recommend as it's a great day out.

We went on the full day sailing trip from Dunstaffnage marina with another couple Colin and Heather. We sailed from 9am and got back to the marina at 4.45pm. On the trip we sailed past Castle Stalker which was a treat and along the way got a surprise when we spotted a pod of dolphins jumping out of the loch. The team are great who were welcoming and made you feel part of the experience. Captain Colin came across knowledgeable, trustworthy and made you feel like you were in safe hands. Simon and Graham were both capable and friendly crew. Plenty of laughs and would recommend highly.

Colin and the crew were awesome and very personable! I loved being allowed to sail the boat for a few minutes.

Professional, highly knowledgeable and friendly crew. Happy and willing to accommodate requests. Overall, a wonderful day out! We would definitely go out again next time we visit Edinburgh. Thanks, Colin and Eric!

Fantastic way to celebrate a big birthday. We sailed with Colin and Forrester out of Dunstaffnage and had a brilliant day. So much wildlife to see - many sea birds, seals, porpoises, dolphins and even a sea eagle. We just missed the mythical wild piglets of Pig Island but we hope to go back and see them another time. If you're looking for a very special experience, a day's sailing with Edinburgh Boat Charters is for you!

We had a fantastic trip with Colin out of Port Edgar last summer 2020 and this summer 2021 on his catamaran. We loved it so much that we decided to travel to the west coast and sail out of Oban on Inspired Capital, his beautiful sailing boat. Colin was fantastic with my three boys, 11,8 and 6 and got them all involved. They loved searching for wildlife with the binoculars, tugging on ropes, jumping in the freezing cold sea and even playing hide and seek on the boat - Colin was very patient! The scenery was spectacular and my boys loved the open air as did my mother. My husband loved having the chance to sail again and navigate through the Corryvreckan whirl pools which my boys found amazing - they are definitely worth seeing. Colin was great company- always kind and extremely patient with three bouncy boys who are now very keen to go again! Do book!

Had a fantastic trip from Port Edgar around the Bass Rock into Anstruther. Very relaxed atmosphere onboard and great to see dolphins, seals, puffins and of course the Gannets on Bass Rock. decent coffee as well !

A day sailing this beautiful catamaran along the Firth of Forth was the perfect way to celebrate my partner’s 50th birthday. Joined by our two grown up kids on a private day charter we all had a fantastic time, and would return for further trips in a heartbeat (the two of us also did a west coast overnighter to Tobermory, see separate review). Colin is a great host and skipper. Excellent communication and information before our trip, and a friendly welcome on board. We felt very safe all day with life jackets provided and COVID measures in place. Colin was so patient. The kids hadn’t sailed before, but he was more than happy to guide them with rope work and taking the helm, which they both enjoyed thoroughly. We had recently completed our competent crew course so bombarded Colin with countless questions, and felt truly supported as we put our new skills into practice. But if you just want to sit back and watch the world go by this was also fine. We had lovely weather, a gentle breeze and the sun out made it perfect sailing weather, however there is a large covered area and a motor if the rain and wind do not cooperate! Due to restrictions at the time we brought along our own food, but tea and coffee was available on board I wouldn’t hesitate in taking a trip with Edinburgh Boat Charters again, if you are considering it but have some reservations, either just go for it, or get in touch with them for reassurance,

We had a fantastic day with Colin, we were looking to experience sailing on a catamaran after getting our Day Skipper course. Colin was extremely patience and eager to show us the differences between a monohull and a multihull catamaran. To top it up, we had lots of wind so it was a fantastic day out!

I booked this for my husband's birthday present, from organising with Ellie beforehand to the final goodbyes, everything was perfect. My husband was welcomed aboard with coffee and cake and though I wasn't sharing the experience, I was given a tour of the catamaran - you can easily experience this on your own as you are made so welcome by the crew, this day skipper Colin, so knowledgeable and Forrester, great to chat with. You can be as involved as you like with the sailing or take a back seat and relax. Would be great to book with a group of friends for the day. I found lots to do nearby in the lovely old streets next to the marina and a long leisurely lunch at Scotts Restaurant overlooking the marina and bridges. Really great experience!Thank you.
