The Main Event

Set sail for a truly memorable Scottish experience with the Blackness Castle Cruise with Afternoon Tea. Perfect as a gift for couples, friends, or anyone looking for a relaxed yet unforgettable day out, this 90 minute river cruise offers a perfect blend of scenic beauty, history, and indulgent treats. From the moment the boat leaves the dock, the Firth of Forth unfolds in all its glory, offering panoramic views that are nothing short of breathtaking.

Glide past the iconic UNESCO World Heritage Forth Bridge, one of Scotland’s most celebrated landmarks, and take in the unrivalled views of the Three Bridges. Whether enjoying the comfort of the observation lounge or the fresh air on the outside deck, every vantage point provides a perfect opportunity for photographs, memories, and a true sense of the river’s majesty.

The highlight of the cruise is a traditional afternoon tea that complements the stunning scenery perfectly. Savour a selection of freshly prepared sandwiches on the journey to Limekilns, followed by warm, fluffy scones served with clotted cream and jam. Each bite is paired with a steaming cup of tea, creating a classic and indulgent British experience. Every element has been designed to make the journey as enjoyable and relaxing as possible, blending the pleasures of good food with the calm, flowing waters of the Firth.

As the boat glides past Blackness Castle, marvel at this dramatic fortress, steeped in history and rising proudly from the water’s edge. Its imposing stone walls and storied past offer a sense of adventure and wonder, perfectly framing the serene indulgence of afternoon tea. From historic architecture to scenic vistas, every moment combines culture, relaxation, and natural beauty.

The cruise is designed to be both relaxing and engaging, offering guests the chance to unwind while taking in the sights, or simply enjoy the pleasure of a quintessentially British afternoon tea in a unique setting. The combination of riverside views, historic landmarks, and delicious food creates an experience that appeals to both history enthusiasts and those looking for a leisurely, indulgent outing.

Whether marking a birthday, celebrating a special occasion, or simply treating someone to an extraordinary gift, the Blackness Castle Cruise with Afternoon Tea provides an elegant and memorable escape.
