Hi Emma - Just wanted to pass on our sincere thanks for what was an amazing cruise. Way beyond anything we expected just so many fantastic memories made. A big thank you to the crew Bryn was a great skipper had complete faith in him even in the bad weather !! Kept us up to date and just an Allround great bloke. Charlie the chef well what’s not to say the food was just mind blowing she must be a great credit to your business MASTER CHEF CHAMPION !!!! Craig the bosun so hard working great for a chat couldn’t do more for us during our time and always there to help and sort anything brilliant. And last but not least Lindsay our guide what a lady she found us so much wildlife it was unbelievable and to see her so excited and enthusiastic was a treat, The moment the Minkie whale breached for about the 6th time she was jumping up and down like a kid in a sweet shop !!! Thank you again we will certainly be recommending the cruise to family and friends and hopefully will book again soon. Kind Regard - Martin Burrett

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!"
