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!

The holiday of a life-time. I loved every minute. Obviously the views and islands were amazing but the boat and the especially the crew were amazing also. Angus, Will, Callum and Charlie made us feel part of their boating family and we all entertained each other over dinner in the evenings with our stories and jokes. The other passengers were great and we continue to send pictures and memories to each other on our specially set up WhatsApp group. As a complete non - sailor, I felt safe at all times with Angus our skipper, and I relished the adventure. Will, our wildlife expert, made sure that we witnessed some spectacular events, including a couple of white tailed Eagles; Dolphins sporting with us on the bow wave; and Gannets showing their skills diving for mackerel. Callum was lovely, always attentive to our needs and always smiling, filling up our glasses, bringing us tea on deck without spilling any. ( How did he do that?) And Charlie, our Chef, wow the food was superb, what a star. I am hoping to start painting the fabulous sea scapes very soon while the warm glow of the experience is still in my veins. Thank you for a very special time.
