The perfect combination of adventure and luxury
With their high prow, deep draft and twin engines our ocean-going vessels were built for safety, reliability and horsepower. Their powerful engines take our guests to their destination fast, with stabilisers to provide a comfortable ride. Our new vessel Lucy Mary was built as a luxury motor vessel in 1994 by renowned boat builders, Lowland Yachts, and easily surpasses other vessels in her class for comfort and cruising range. Find out more about Lucy Mary on our news page "Emma Jane" and "Elizabeth G" have previous histories as sturdy naval vessels, which were then converted to luxury motor vessels with ensuite cabins.
A unique feature of our vessels is that we take our boat tenders on board while cruising which allows a much faster, safer journey. With a high level of comfort and hospitality on board, our vessels are the perfect combination of adventure and luxury to take our guests to the most far-flung islands of the Hebrides and the remote sea lochs of the west coast of Scotland. Both vessels are served by four highly qualified crew, namely Skipper, Chef, Steward and Wildlife Expert.
Elizabeth G
Accommodation on board Elizabeth G is spacious and comfortable for 8 guests in four double or twin ensuite cabins, (or 10 guests for private cruise charter). The wheelhouse, indoor dining saloon and 2 outside observation decks on two levels offer lots of choice for relaxing and wildlife watching. View the Elizbeth G photo gallery here

I am actually struggling to find the words to express how wonderful this holiday was and how much we enjoyed ourselves during our 6 nights on Emma Jane. This experience was truely like no other holiday I've ever taken. It was well put together and the crew were ready to adapt plans where necessary. Firstly thanks to Emma for her initial assistance when we were making the decision to book or not, and invaluable help on travel advice. Whether we were lucky, but we joined a lovely group of fellow, like minded passengers to spend our 6 nights with. All the crew, Chris, the skipper, Sofia, the steward, Carlton, the chef, and Will the wildlife expert, were individually lovely, helpful, patient, and excellent in their roles. However, the four of them together formed a competent and well organised team. I noted the concentration required to navigate us through the locks, and attention to our safety and enjoyment at all times. The food was amazing Carlton. Hard to pick my favourite dish but the Caesar salad was a stand out. Will, took us on lovely walks to enjoy beautiful scenery, rivers, locks, lochs, canal, waterfalls, birds and fungi. Chris, calm, caring and confident, but firm if he needed to be. We must, however, mention Sofia in particular. Her attention to detail, demonstration of a variety of skills, one moment doing the ropes on the vessel, the next serving us tea, cake, and Proscecco in the afternoon(could get used to this but things are never the same when you try to re-create them at home). Her flair in creating the most wonderful table decorations. We could go on. We loved it. Thank you so very much. Cindy Hudson & Andrew Perry
