Wow! Arranged as a very special celebration of an important birthday, our cruise exceeded expectations in every way. Lucy Mary is a terrific boat - very well equipped, spacious and fittingly elegant, we found her the perfect embodiment of sea-going luxury. But as ever it is the human touch that makes or breaks - in this case, very much the former. Captain Chris and his brilliant crew welcomed us aboard with a champagne cream tea, setting a level of service that never dipped below outstanding. Always attentive and accommodating, every aspect of our voyage was of the highest quality, from keeping the boat spotlessly clean, amazing meals and stewardship and of course exemplary cruising and onshore activities. We were on board for a mere three nights but were astounded by the beauty of our surroundings and the extraordinary wildlife that we were privileged to experience. In short, we could not have hoped for more. We and our friends have formed remarkable memories that will stay with us for a very long time. Thanks for an utterly brilliant time! Simon & Kerry

Everything, but everything, was first class. The care we received was outstanding in all spheres. Of course, you all did so much more than the following comments but these extras are very much part of what now warms my heart and makes me smile. James greeting us as we landed ashore and on every return to Lucy Mary with his “welcome to…..” Also for trying that little bit extra for me to see a St Kilda wren. I heard it! Abbie with her delightful “ you are very welcome…” when she served us yet another tea/coffee/or glass of something stronger. Tash personally serving the cheese after every delicious meal. Indie’s leaping around, determined for us to see all the wildlife he could see. Will’s perfect and constant window cleaning. Nothing slapdash ever. The bond between the staff was obvious and really contributed to the enjoyment of a totally unforgettable holiday. Well done to everyone on board Lucy Mary and to your staff ashore too. THANK YOU!
