We have just returned from a cruise on the Emma Jane.It was excellent.The crew were fabulous.Nothing was too much trouble. Rob was a great captain ,keeping us safe and accommodating our wishes.What a nice guy.Zoe was our wildlife expert and guide ,so enthusiastic ,friendly and knowledgable. Nicola was our chef,her cooking was amazing.Every meal was fantastic .She catered for one of our number who is gluten free and for myself as I do not eat red meat. She always provided us with alternatives and little extras.In addition ,she is a lovely person. Finally there was Sofia ,our steward ,what a lovely young woman .She was very efficient and nothing was too much trouble. We visited 5 islands ,we saw loads of wildlife and we were generally lucky with the weather.I would highly recommend the company .My only advisory note would be that if you are tall ,Cabin 2 ,with beds at right angles would not be the best choice.

Dear Emma - We just want to say a heart-felt ‘Thank You’ for such a wonderful experience! From the friendliness and confidence of the crew (a special thanks to Craig for putting me straight on the number of nights!!!) to the stunning spectacle of dozens of leaping dolphins and the knowledge of the ‘frequent flyers’ who obviously love travelling with you - truly unforgettable! Chris’s experience inspires confidence and his easy (to our eyes!) practicality and knowledge of the area are awesome. Alexa is a font of knowledge and we wouldn’t have seen half the things we did without her pointing them out to us. Especially the difference between the different cetaceans! Tracking two male Orca added a thrill too! Sian’s cooking should also get a mention - it’s amazing how she served up so many great dishes in such a small space. All we have to worry about now is how to shrink waistlines…I’m running out of superlatives so again many thanks for the experience - I think it’s fair to say that Whale Watching in the Northern Minch is a roaring success! Hope to see you again in the future!
