The Three Bridges Cruise lasts for 90 minutes and is a round trip

You will be able to see Inchcolm Island on this tour, but we will not be landing on it on this specific tour.

The boats are not specifically designed for disabled access; however, wheelchair users and people with limited mobility can still board. 
There is disabled parking at the promenade, close to the Hawes Pier. 
There is a wheelchair ramp which can be used at certain tide heights. 
There is no disabled toilet, although people with limited mobility do use the toilets on board.
Certain tide heights allow easier access to the boat (not as steep an incline on the gangway). They are safer and more comfortable for wheelchair users.
