We greatly enjoyed the trip and hope the rest of the season goes well. Thanks also to your father for his calm management of the ship and those impressive scallops which I now know how to shuck. Impressive meal catering by Sarah taking into account individual allergies/preferences. Also, for providing a birthday cake at short notice. Calm watchfulness for passenger comfort from Craig and Zoe working hard to ensure nobody missed a sighting on land or sea. Definitely would recommend.

Emma was very helpful with the additional questions I had and the crew very helpful when boarding, made us feel very welcome. The itinerary was outstanding. We had Rob as skipper and his local knowledge of the area, wildlife and weather forecasts was invaluable as the itinerary was adjusted to fit in with the forecast conditions giving us best chance of landing on St Kilda. The two nights on St Kilda were the culmination of a 40 year ambition for me. All the crew were exemplary. I particularly enjoyed being able to visit the bridge from time to time and chat to Rob. Mark was a great bosun, nothing was too much trouble and he was particularly adept at pouring malt whisky, which was a skill was very much appreciated. It was also great to have Chris Gomersall along to show us where to look to see all the wonderful wildlife. It was extra special!
