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!

A dream of a Hebridean Cruise! A huge Thank you! to Rob who took us to the most beautiful safe, sheltered & secluded anchorages each night, allowing us to relive tearful family memories on our favourite island haunts, and to discover new amazing places we could only get to on the Emma Jane! An exhilarating trip to the Shiants with thousands of puffins, and all wildlife spotting and island walks were led expertly by our naturalist guide Lynsey. And to top all of the that, we would always return to delicious feasts prepared by Charlie, and beautifully clean cabins, prepared with kindness by Jasmine. Thank you to you all, we will most definitely return with our family!
