Scenery was absolutely stunning. Our skipper, Rob, used his extensive experience to create wonderful daily itineraries to discuss & review. The variety of onshore trips to the Small Isles & Skye was magical. An extra hour on Muck, Rum & Canna to walk & explore a wee bit more would have been welcome. Overnight anchorages were beautiful, sheltered & peaceful. Apart from the Small Isles, my highlight was watching the leaping dolphins & harbour porpoises. Will, our wildlife guide, was a walking source of knowledge. The crew were welcoming, knowledgeable & attended to our every need with care. All of the crew had a good sense of humour so there was a holiday atmosphere & fun, as well as time to reflect. Phoebe’s cooking is divine - it was such a luxury to have home made gluten free fare. If she has time to email the rhubarb tart & pecan bisc recipe that would be great. Bea is a hard working bundle of fun - a great housekeeper & hostess. It was so easy to book & pay. Emma emailed clear & timely information. When I phoned with a question she was very helpful. Treat yourself to the trip of a lifetime. Just do it!

It did what is said on the tin! An amazing experience with multiple sightings of fin whales (the second largest whale on the planet), humpbacks, minke whales, porpoises, many dolphins converging on the Emma Jane to ride our bow-wave, with white-tailed sea eagles, otters and deer to complete our adventure. The crew was unfailingly helpful while being very efficient and as enthusiastic as their passengers. Super food, spotlessly clean accommodation and like-minded fellow travellers. Fantastic!
