8 days in the Southern Hebrides making memories that will last a lifetime. Miles and miles of incredible beaches, remote communities with rich histories. Wildlife, almost within touching distance to marvel at and enjoy. Fantastic varied cuisine, exceptional food, impeccable service and great company. What’s NOT to like? NOT having to decide where to go and how to get there. NOT being in a traffic jam in sight. NOT having the views and scenery completely obstructed by the rear end of the caravan or motorhome in front of you. NOT having the daily challenge of parking your car. NOT having to shop or find your next place to eat. NOT having the standard pub fare. NOT having to resort to a burger or fish and chips. NOT missing out on the best table with the best view for every meal , breakfast , lunch and evening dinner. As I said what’s NOT to like. Book again for next year? NOT a problem? What’s NOT to LOVE?

Dear Emma - I wanted to write a proper thank you for our cruise. I know you have all moved seamlessly to creating a special experience for the next sets of guests, but you must know that you, the whole team ashore and aboard, have once again created a treasure-trove of memories for our family. It’s hard to believe that a week ago we woke up on Lucy Mary looking at Lismore lighthouse. The whole experience was so perfect it’s like we stepped into another world at the end of the pontoon. The Hebrides are glorious and we were very lucky with the weather, but we know that the rest of the perfection comes from a great deal of skill, organisation, talent, and very hard work. You and James have created and inspired a team which not only provides five star service but also radiates fun, imagination, attention to detail and compassion. Indy’s enthusiasm is so infectious. Sammy somehow managed to make everyone’s favourite food and serve exactly what everyone wanted to eat. It was wonderful to see Will’s growing confidence; his rock-pooling was a revelation and we did so appreciate the shining windows and the flying tender and the great piles of coats and shoes and lifejackets that were all kept shipshape. Abbie is a marvel; there is no single thing to thank her for, but a million little things, which together create a feeling of welcome, safety, beauty and comfort. As well as a great leader of the team, James is an intuitive, talented and hugely knowledgeable skipper and we all loved being on the bridge looking at charts and searching for lights and beasties (and doing fast and bumpy on the tender). A heartfelt thank you from each and every one of us, especially me. I had the best time, doing what I love and knowing everyone else was happy too. With love
