Set Sail with SaltDog Marine! Exploring the River Tay Like Never Before

We had the pleasure a few weeks ago of meeting Ian Ashton, Managing Director of Salt Dog Marine. 

Salt Dog Marine have recently launched a service providing exciting boat trips departing from Broughty Ferry Castle and taking in the sites such as The Larick Beacon lighthouse, seals, and dolphins! 

You can take a short crossing from Broughty Ferry to Tayport and explore this charming coastal town at your own pace. SaltDog Marine drops you off and picks you up three hours later, giving you ample time to wander and explore Tentsmuir Forest, stop off for a coffee at The Larick Centre or even pop in and see us at Tayport Distillery! 

Or, you can opt for SaltDog Marine's hour-long tours offer a unique perspective of Dundee's stunning waterfront cruising past the iconic V&A Dundee museum, a masterpiece of modern architecture, all while keeping an eye out for playful bottlenose dolphins known to frequent the Tay. 

The skipper acts as your guide, pointing out historical landmarks like the Larick Beacon and sharing interesting titbits about the local marine life. You might even spot majestic cruise ships gliding in or oil rigs departing, making every trip a one-of-a-kind adventure. 

With summer just around the corner (they just opened for bookings in April!), these boat trips are the perfect way to experience the beauty of the Tay River and discover Dundee and Tayport’s hidden gems.
