Dear Chris, Maddy, Lynsey & Ross - It has been a MAGNIFICENT trip. Far exceeded our expectations. You are the fabulous four and have made the whole experience so wondeful! It was the most magical trip - I can't speak more highly of every aspect of the cruise. We were so lucky to bond so well with the other guests. The best part of it all were the crew. They were the most caring, attentive and professional four people I have met. Maddy especially couldn't do more for people, anticipating our every want and Ross was such an amazing chef, so calm and warm. Many thanks for a wonderful experience

It's difficult to add to Ellen's comments about this cruise, all of which we agree with, but we'll try. Firstly, we would like to echo her comments about the exceptional crew - all four of them combined to make this trip unforgettable. To get to St Kilda on our first attempt was amazing and we forgive Jake for weighing anchor at 4.30 in the morning to get us there. The fact that it was a misty, grey day just added to the atmosphere. Now, what didn't Ellen mention? Fantastic beach lunch/barbecue on Vatersay, the hot tub on board - with a dram!, the magical cave on the Shiants and the not quite so magical cave on Eigg, unbelievable numbers of birds on both St Kilda and the Shiants, 50 dolphins bow riding - wow!, fantastic seafood (did I mention that I caught some mackerel? Thanks, Jake) As Ruth said when we got back to Oban - "The only thing that would have made it more memorable would have been if Lauren had spotted a giraffe for us" Thank you James, Emma and the crew of the good ship Emma Jane.
