We had an absolutely wonderful time, it was lovely to stop at all the islands and have enough time to explore properly. All the crew were amazing, nothing was too much trouble for any of them, and together they made a superb team and all looked after us really well. Zoe was so good at spotting things and helping us identify all the birds and mammals and made sure everyone was involved and doing what they wanted. The food was absolutely first class, I think Sian should have lots of Michelin stars and the scallops were my favourite!! The boat was really comfortable and I felt really safe.

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.
