Ailsa Craig

Ailsa Craig

Hi folks

Just wondering if anyone has any contact details for boat operators who might offer trips out to Ailsa Craig - preferably allowing enough time for passengers to make an ascent of the island!

And details of any recent costs/times/booking details, etc..

Many thanks.

Yeh, this. https://www.ballantrae.org.uk/places-to-visit/listing/ailsa-craig-boat-trips-girvan/
I went a few years ago, lots of time to hike up to the top and take loads of photos, explore around the place, have a picnic. I should have taken a fishing rod, folk on a boat were close to the beach, catching mackerel. They even have a facebook page. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=2ahUKEwjk--7Ki8H4AhVloFwKHTJoAzUQFnoECEwQAQ&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fpages%2Fcategory%2FLocal-service%2FAilsa-craig-and-sea-fishing-trips-2716111808460178%2F&usg=AOvVaw13IxJ6KL4V3J31QOcCAv1m

Oh now it says on the facebook page that the business shut down because of covid. I don't know if anyone else has started doing these trips. Anybody?
