Fellow guests have already expressed how you looked after us so wonderfully on a recent charter on Emma Jane but you all did such a good job you deserve all the praise we can give you! Please know how much all your hard work, friendliness and expertise was appreciated by us all As a repeat guest I knew my friends were in for a treat sailing on one of your lovely vessels and we weren’t disappointed as the holiday exceeded even my expectations. Thanks to Rob for guiding us safely through the weather, Zoe for her enthusiasm and knowledge, Sofia for pampering us ( and amazing table decorations) and last , but definitely not least , Nicola for her truly delicious gastronomic delights. To all the crew , Rob, Zoe , Sofia and Nicola , you made our holiday extra special and as we said our goodbyes it was like leaving friends behind rather than hosts! Well done Hebrides Cruises and full marks for yet another fabulous trip .

My long-anticipated cruise on the Emma Jane exceeded all expectations! The weather was superb with glassy seas much of the time. James and Lynsey were amazing at spotting wildlife and getting the ship close-enough for the most incredible viewing of two humpback whales and up to four simply enormous fin whales off the east coast of Lewis. We saw literally hundreds of common dolphin (many deliberately joining us for a spot of free bow-riding), a pod of Risso's dolphins (with tiny calves), nearly a dozen different white-tailed eagles, three otters, and hundreds of assorted seabirds. Chef Jordan produced five-star meals every single day and Bosun Ashley made sure the ship was sparklingly clean all of the time. We almost ran out of prosecco wine, which was produced whenever we had some special sighting to celebrate; in other words, practically every day! Thank you to all four wonderful staff for creating lifelong memories of what even James & Lynsey admitted was one of the best cruises they'd ever experienced.
