Just a quick note to say how much we enjoyed the trip to St Kilda. Captain Rob and his crew were exceptional and we learnt so much about the nature on islands from Rob and Linsey. And accompanying Rob on his (maybe) 250th trip to St Kilda will be a lasting memory. Craig was the epitome of service, nothing seemed to faze him and everything was done with a smile. And the food! Sian was fantastic – Anne had been worried about the gluten free business but there was absolutely no problem and the production of a fantastic gluten free Golden Wedding cake stole the show. Thanks to you all – we will be back!

Scenery was absolutely stunning. Our skipper, Rob, used his extensive experience to create wonderful daily itineraries to discuss & review. The variety of onshore trips to the Small Isles & Skye was magical. An extra hour on Muck, Rum & Canna to walk & explore a wee bit more would have been welcome. Overnight anchorages were beautiful, sheltered & peaceful. Apart from the Small Isles, my highlight was watching the leaping dolphins & harbour porpoises. Will, our wildlife guide, was a walking source of knowledge. The crew were welcoming, knowledgeable & attended to our every need with care. All of the crew had a good sense of humour so there was a holiday atmosphere & fun, as well as time to reflect. Phoebe’s cooking is divine - it was such a luxury to have home made gluten free fare. If she has time to email the rhubarb tart & pecan bisc recipe that would be great. Bea is a hard working bundle of fun - a great housekeeper & hostess. It was so easy to book & pay. Emma emailed clear & timely information. When I phoned with a question she was very helpful. Treat yourself to the trip of a lifetime. Just do it!
