Sugar Boat Tour

Greenock’s biggest visitor attraction, the iconic shipwreck of the MV Captayannis.

This wreck has become a landmark of the River Clyde and provides a unique opportunity to explore a piece of history from our local area. The ship has been stripped of valuable metals and fittings over the years, though some of her wooden decking remains in remarkably good condition after more than 40 years in the sea.

She settled at a 90 degree angle to the water where she has remained ever since. Over the years, she has become a haven for various birds and sea-life animals who have made home in the wreckage. This trip gives you the opportunity to see this wildlife up close and get within touching distance of the Sugar Boat.

Duration: 1 Hour

Meeting Point: James Watt Dock Marina, Greenock

Capacity: 12 Passengers

Little Cumbrae Tour

 

Known locally as ‘wee Cumbrae’, Little Cumbrae lies barely a kilometre to the south of its larger neighbour, Great Cumbrae. Little Cumbrae is a rough and rocky island, more like a Hebridean island than to some of its neighbours in the Clyde.

Little Cumbrae for many years was uninhabited, the island is now being looked after by two residential caretakers, Peter and Linda. 
 
A simple tower house of the 15th century rises through 3 storeys to a checkered corbel wall equipped with rounds. The entrance is at first floor level by means of an external wooden stair. The walls are pierced by gun loops and the tower was once surrounded by a rampart and ditch. It was burned by Cromwell in 1653 and was ruinous but is now in splendid condition though unoccupied.

Duration: 3 Hours

Meeting Point: RNLI Slipway, Largs

Capacity: 12 Passengers
