We had a fabulous time despite the bad weather at the start of the trip. We saw a Minke whale, dolphins, eagles, otters (the very last morning!)and lots more. As far as the crew goes, Jake was lovely and multi talented when it came to various repairs on the Emma Jane and then catching a lobster for one evening meal. Lauren was great at finding us wildlife and was determined to find an otter for Nick !! Jasmin was as lovely this year as last year and she looked after us all very well. But Emma the chef deserves a special mention as she produced some fantastic food for us - I was so impressed that someone so young was so talented and so lovely as well. The other guests were just fabulous too - we all got along really well and we had some great laughs. So once again Hebrides Cruises has provided a great holiday, never mind what the weather throws at us the Emma Jane is like home. Deb Ledgard

Hello Emma - I'm just writing to say how much I enjoyed my recent trip on Emma Jane circumnavigating Skye. Great company and great crew. Ritchie made the most of the opportunity provided by calm seas to take us to some special places, including a visit to Soay, a close passage of MacLeod's Maidens, (see photo) the Shiant Isles (a real treat!) And a wonderful non scheduled anchorage at Sandaig. We had great wildlife sightings. Will was as ever an excellent guide, and Ashley and Jordan made sure we were wel fed and comfortable. My third trip on Emma Jane and the standard remains perfect. I look forward to another trip one day! Thanks to you and all the team for a great cruise.
