The Inner Hebrides is an outstanding seafood destination with the clear waters providing an abundance of delicious produce. This cruise will transport our guests on a unique culinary adventure to discover the very best seafood, so fresh it can be picked and presented on their dinner plate within hours. We visit where oysters and mussels are grown sustainably on the Isle of Mull and pick our own from the honesty boxes on shore. Crab, langoustine and lobster are available from the local fishing vessels, while our onboard ships diver will hand-dive for scallops. April is one of the best months for brown trout and sea trout and we will be in close contact with the local fishermen to serve up this delicious delicacy. The menu wont consist entirely of seafood - other local produce will be included and as usual, personal food preferences and allergies are provided for. Any guest who enjoys seafood who wishes to bring a partner less keen will be catered for!
One of the on-board Chef for this cruise could be William Rocks, Chef Patron at Tigh an Truish on the Isle of Seil and a previous Masterchef quarterfinalist. His local knowledge of the Hebrides and its produce, combined with a passion for seafood will provide the most delicious meals, served while anchored in serene sea lochs with a new scenic vista every day. This amazing seafood extravaganza takes place while cruising through spectacular scenery and enjoying wonderful hospitality. As always, the crew will be looking out for wildlife, with dolphins, minke whales, porpoises, otters and red deer spotted regularly from the decks. The itinerary will include the dramatic coastlines of Mull and Ardnamurchan and, weather permitting, will reach the western side of Mull and call in at the idyllic isle of Iona

The food on all Hebrides Cruises is excellent but this cruise takes it to a whole new level. If you love seafood then you won’t have tasted anything fresher, all exquisitely prepared by our restauranter chef Will. Layer that with wildlife spotting of White Tailed eagles, otters, porpoises, Minke it’s no surprise that I give this 5 stars.

A delightful, well managed trip! I particularly enjoyed the wildlife knowledge and skills of Lyndsay, the cooking of Will, the highly professional stewarding from Jasmin and the company and positivity of Chris. Every aspect of Hebrides cruises is well thought through and overseen with care and rigour by Rob. The company was great too. Emma Jane is a poem of a boat who sits beautifully in the water and has terrific circulation and lounge spaces in addition to lovely cabins.

What can I say? There are truly not enough superlatives to describe the amazing experience we had onboard Lucy Mary during our recent cruise. From start to finish, the treatment we received from the crew was first class. The booking process was a dream, with the lovely Emma steering us through the whole thing very professionally, answering all our pre-cruise questions promptly and setting our minds at rest. Once we arrived in Oban, we were greeted on board with champagne and cake (my favourite combo!) and from then on, things just got better and better. Abby, the steward, was attentive, warm, funny and made everyone feel comfortable and cared for at all times. Bella, the wildlife guide was great fun and extremely knowledgable and fantastic at finding us interesting wildlife to observe and learn about - we were lucky enough to see hordes of different species, including minke whales, loads of porpoise, seal, birds galore including sea eagles and my favourite gannets and shearwaters and of course otters! Our chef Carleton was a delight - interesting and funny as well as being the most incredible chef. I think I put on about 3kg during the cruise - my fault entirely, I just couldn't resist anything that came out of his kitchen and had to have second helpings of it all. The cod with a crispy crab crust was just a phenomenon. And of course, can't forget our wonderful skipper James. He gently steered us to all the best spots in weather that wasn't always the easiest to navigate but he made the cruise comfortable and enjoyable at all times. His lifelong love affair with the Hebridean area and with being at sea shines through and you can't help but be caught up in his enthusiasm for boat life and for the incredible surroundings we were in. If you haven't visited this area before, there are no words to describe how breathtaking and magical it is
