The icing on the cake for a family day out. Boarded at Braehead and sailed straight to the River museum. Was reasonable priced and the kids loved the trip. More

I've seen the boat going back and forth past my flat for a few months now, so with my interest piqued I decided to take the clyde clippers ferry from Braehead to Glasgow Broomielaw and back for a wee trip on the river. The boarding point at Braehead is not particularly well signposted and I think they would do well... More

As a local I am delighted that this service is operating on the River Clyde during the summer. There is no better way to arrive at Glasgow's fabulous new Transport Museum - designed by Zaha Hadid - than by water. It adds a wonderful dimension and views of the amazing architecture. We found the Clipper staff helpful and the service... More

Confusing timetable, unhelpful and misinformed staff left us standing about in the hot sun with two very young children. The concept is ideal but needs a more efficient company to run it More

There seems to have been a few teething problems with the service, but my experience was very enjoyable. I sailed twice, once from the Broomielaw to the Riverside Museum, and again from the museum over to Braehead. Each time, the sailings departed and arrived on time, and the prices were very fair and justified. A smooth sailing, and one I... More

I would like to be able to write a review, but as there appears to be no service today with no explanation given, and on telephoning to find out why, no one answers the call, am unable to do so. However, have sent email so no doubt Clyde Marine Services Ltd shall get back to me promptly(!!!) Yet another great... More

We turned up at Broomielaw at 12.20pm on Saturday july 9 to find a small notice tied to the pontoon gate saying that due to operational difficulties there was no service. I had visited your website before setting off and there was no mention of this. We were very disappointed. I tried again at Goven pontoon later in the afternoon... More
