We thought the itinerary was well chosen for a varied experience. While sailing near the coastline, the scenery was fabulous of course. When out of sight of land, we were all more intent on spotting birds & cetaceans & Rob was always keen to slow down & manoeuvre to give us the best possible view Some of the landings were a little tricky but all well worth it & we all eventually mastered the art of donning life jackets & boarding the tender. Rob always managed to find us sheltered anchorages, often with views of white-tailed eagles & seals. His local knowledge meant that he could amend the itinerary to suit weather conditions. Although we were unable to land on the Flannan Isles as planned, Rob added in a visit to the Shiants, which more than made up for it. Lynsey has a huge knowledge of wildlife & geology & an amazing ability for spotting cetaceans at a distance. Craig always got us ashore safely & used his experience of the area so suggest suitable walks. For anyone who loves Scotland, has an interest in wildlife, enjoys good food & has even an average amount of fitness & mobility, I’d say “Go for it but make sure you pack clothing for all weathers!"

Such a wonderful experience. The Emma Jane was well equipped and looked very well maintained, giving us every confidence. The crew very very friendly, knowledgeable and worked hard to make out cruise the best it could be. Food cooked by Biff was fantastic and the information and support from our guide Will was superb. Our Captain James, with his huge experience and knowledge ensured we all got the best from our cruise which we much appreciated and Ashley worked extremely hard to make sure we were very well looked after. We thoroughly enjoyed the cruise and seeing all the wildlife, especially the dolphins, making it an experience that we will never forget. The cruise was extremely well organised and managed and we would not hesitate in recommending this company to anyone.
