Overview

Being out on the water is the best way to experience a vast area as beautiful as the Clyde. Forget about all that goes on inland and immerse your senses while we whisk you around some incredible attractions like castles, lighthouses and sunken shipwrecks and at the same time get up close and personal with nature and keep your eyes peeled for porpoise, seals, sea eagles, otters and more.

Nowhere else in this area offers such an extensive maritime tour, and can tailor the trip to suit your group’s needs.

If you want to go slow, then we go slow.

If you want to go fast, then yes, we will go fast!

You tell us what you want and we will do everything in our power to make it happen.

We hope to see you soon and welcome you aboard the Starfish Enterprise to enjoy all the Clyde has to offer!
