Dear Emma - Please pass on our thanks to the wonderful crew of Emma Jane - Ritchie, Lynsey, Ashleigh and Pea. Andy and I had a fantastic week cruising around Mull, Iona, Staffa and the Tresnish Isles. The wildlife sightings, views, sunsets and beach walks were outstanding. We learned so much from Lynsey our wildlife guide, and all the crew who were so enthusiastic and knowledgable. Food was terrific. We enjoyed Pea’s breakfast healthy options as well as the best of Scotland’s fish, beef and cheese.
We have already booked a place on Emma Jane for next year! Many thanks to you and all the team at Hebrides Cruises!

Even though we had bad weather for the first couple of days we had exceptional care from the whole crew. Our skipper Jake found sheltered anchorages for overnight stops and got us safely ashore for walks every day. Our wildlife guide Lauren was brilliant at spotting all the wildlife we saw, including white tailed eagles, porpoises, dolphins and a minke whale, but best of all she found us an otter! We were very well fed by Emma, who produced some lovely meals which must always be a challenge on a small ship. Last but by no means least Jasmin took very good care of us, with nothing being too much trouble. All in all It was a fantastic trip with a great group of fellow cruisers who were so much fun to be with, only 11 months until the next one!
