The yellow Findhorn water taxi pulled up on the beach at Culbin Sands

Water Taxi to Culbin Sands

From Findhorn across to Culbin Sands, and back again.

  • 15 mins each way
  • Royal Findhorn Yacht Club

A short crossing of Findhorn Bay to the sands at Culbin in our Water Taxi. The perfect way to reach the beach and the Culbin Forest without the long walk round, and a lovely short trip on the water in its own right.

Bikes and camping equipment can be transported along with you! These do take up capacity on the water taxi so require tickets to be booked. Dogs are welcome to join free of charge.

Book each direction separately. Choose your outbound crossing first and the return trip will be suggested once you add your ticket to the cart.

Completed our level 1 as a group of four adults. The staff and facilities were great and they really tailored the course to meet our needs. Would definitely recommend.

Needed to cross the bay for a run between Elgin and Nairn. They agreed to take me across even though they are closed in Winter. Really helpful and great communication. Thanks guys.

My 8 year-old daughter and 2 friends just completed the Stage 1 RYA dinghy sailing course with Findhorn Watersports. I’d give them 6 stars if that was an option! Everything was spot on — good value for money, positive young staff who were great role models, and all safety & equipment side of things clearly top notch. Highly recommended.

We had a trip on the water taxi yesterday, it’s great! Took us across to a secluded part of Culbin beach where we able to see seals. Sam who took us over was lovely, helpful and really knowledgeable. Jane, the owner is fab, very welcoming and would do anything to help. We’ll definitely be back on the water taxi again!

I completed my RYA Dinghy level 3 at Findhorn Watersports. Friendly and accommodating people, beautiful surroundings and expert tuition. Looking forward to a return visit later this year.
