Boat Trip: Sugar Boat Wreck via Port Glasgow

On this 2 hour trip, you will travel from Rhu Marina across to Greenock, up the narrow dredged channel of the Clyde to Port Glasgow, then return to circle the Sugar Boat wreck and back to Rhu.

Travel from Rhu Marina across to Greenock, past the Tail O' The Bank, getting a close up view of the main cruise liner terminal and the container ship dock. You will see how wide and quite how shallow the Clyde is at this point as we travel east up the narrow dredged channel, passing James Watt Dock and Great Harbour, two of the original docks that made Greenock famous. When we reach Port Glasgow, you will see the last remaining shipyard on the lower Clyde, Ferguson Marine, and its two partially completed CalMac ferries, before we return and circle the Sugar Boat Wreck on the way back. Truly, a trip with a difference.
