Powerboat Experiences

Powerboat Experiences 

The Learn to Drive Powerboat Experience is the perfect activity for anyone who would like to learn how to drive a brand new high powered RIB (Rigid Inflatable Boat) whilst also viewing the incredible sites and history of the Firth of Forth.  All our Learn to Drive Powerboat Experiences are delivered by our trained instructors in our state of the art powerboats, and we offer two lengths of sessions, a half day experience and a full day experience.

During your Powerboat Experience you will be taught how to handle the powerboat in the harbour, and then and high speed in the Firth of Forth.  You will drive the boat beneath the UNESCO listed Forth Rail Bridge, see the brand new Queensferry Crossing, and the Forth Road Bridge.  On the full day experiences you will also get to plan a passage down to the Islands of the Forth, and you will have the opportunity to land on Inchcolm Island and wander around its 13th Century Abbey, steeped in history, as well as see eerie Inchmickery and the majestic Oxcars lighthouse.

This is the perfect day out for anyone who would like to learn to drive a high powered modern boat, under the expert tuition of our instructors, and still see the sites of the Forth and learn about the history and wildlife.  All prices are for three people so you can bring up to two friends or family (aged 8 or above) to share your experience! This is a unique and unforgettable experience and are always popular presents for family and friends.  Most of our customers love it so much they return for more in the future so please click on the links below for more information!
