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

We loved our cruise on the Elizabeth G. Craig, Zoe, James and Charlie looked after us all so well; they couldn't have done more. The food was out of this world, absolutely five star! The excursions onto the islands and remote secluded bays were so expertly lead by Zoe. She was constantly on the look for interesting birds and creatures to show us. We were delighted to watch an otter come out of the sea and up the shore and also to see dolphins, sea eagles, razorbills, puffins, guillemots, shags, a skua and the list could go on and on... Craig attended to our every need on board and the captain (James) kindly invited us to go and see the engine room and the also the bridge. Both were fascinating. I would not hesitate to recommend this amazing holiday.
