Emma I would like to thank all the crew who looked after me on my cruise recently. It was an amazing trip and I enjoyed it more than any trip I have done in the last 10 years. The crew worked together in such harmony and made us (the visitors ) feel so comfortable in their company on board, and at the same time helped us get to see some of the most exciting scenes on the visited islands that I have ever experienced. Ritchie, Colin, Lindsay, Ashley and Jordan made life so easy and interesting for us, each in such a different way, all experts in their own field. It was the best holiday decision I have made in a very long time. Thanks to your company and to the crew for their hard work. May I wish you and your company every success in the future; you deserve it!

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!"
