Forth Boat Tours runs scenic sightseeing cruises from South Queensferry, departing from Hawes Pier and Port Edgar Marina. These established day trips cover the iconic Forth Bridges, the island of Inchcolm and other Firth of Forth highlights, making them a proper day out rather than a quick transport hop.

Dogs are welcome on board for a small fee of £1 per pet. It's a straightforward way to include your dog in a classic Scottish waterside experience without leaving them behind. The practical advantage is the clarity: dog owners can plan around the access that is confirmed without guessing at the gate.

Cruises run year-round except Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year's Eve. Booking ahead is advisable and both the boat fleet and current sailing schedules are published on the operator's website for planning purposes. That makes the visit easier to include in a longer dog-friendly day while keeping any stated restrictions in view.
