The Cramond Boat Club is located at the mouth of the River Almond, just four miles from the bustling centre of Edinburgh. Our Clubhouse and moorings provide a welcoming home for a variety of small craft, from dinghies to small cruisers and motorboats.
The River Almond offers tidal access to the Firth of Forth for approximately 5 hours each tide, making it an ideal location for sailing enthusiasts. The Club hosts dinghy and keelboat racing on a handicap basis, with class racing organized when numbers allow. Additionally, we hold open regattas and long-distance races throughout the season.
The waters of the Firth of Forth offer a picturesque setting for pleasure sailing, with numerous islands, sheltered harbours, and iconic landmarks such as the Forth Bridge, Inchcolm Abbey, Cramond Island, Inchkeith, the Isle of May, Aberdour, and South Queensferry.
Whether you're a seasoned sailor or a novice looking to explore the beauty of the Scottish coast, the Cramond Boat Club welcomes you to experience the thrill of the open water.
