Maid of the Forth

Puffins have arrived! - saw a raft of 7 puffins near Inchcolm on the last trip of the day on Sunday - also saw a brief glance of a Porpoise near the bridge - and the sun was shining too - great day.

January 2012

The Annual Refit of the Maid is well underway at the moment - new windows in the saloon are just about ready to go in - then just lots of painting to be done to get her looking at her best for the start of the season. Our new project for 2012 is coming along well - some good photos on our facebook page so pop along there and 'like' our page to be kept up to date with all the latest offers and special trips on offer.


November 2011

Well that is another season over now, loads of thanks to all you folk who came and enjoyed a trip with us this summer. 

We are now taking a well deserved break before geting into our winter maintenance schedule.  Lots of jobs to do this winter , apart from the usual painting, engine overhauls, safety surveys etc. we are planning on g replacing all the windows to the main saloon. - as the constant exposure to salt water is taking its toll on the aluminium frames of the existing ones.  This should brighten up the main saloon and make sure the Maid is looking at her best for the start of the 2012 season.

We also have a big new project for 2012 in the pipeline - details will follow soon. More details will be avaialble on our facebook page so pop over to facebook and 'like' our page to keep up to date with special offers and news.
