A really well-organised, well-executed cruise from a very professional company which clearly sets itself very high standards, and then exceeds them anyway. We had an outstanding crew on a great vessel (Lucy Mary). Our cruise was significantly affected by Storm Amy but was all the more enjoyable for it. We did ‘lose’,perhaps, one shore walk and others had to be adapted to the conditions. However we never felt we missed out and all enjoyed the experience, despite sheltering in suitable sea lochs, of some pretty rough conditions.. (The max gust we had was over 90mph). Much more atmospheric and fun than millpond calm. The crew were amazing, particularly given very challenging circumstances and having to test their skills in exceptional conditions. The teamwork between James (Captain), Indy and Piers (on the deck) mooring to a buoy, with restricted space for manoeuvring and force 11 winds was somewhat more than simply impressive! In the main cabin, Callum and Abz were also quite amazing. They would have been perfectly justified in serving a cold buffet for some of the worst storm-affected meals but we always had exceptional hot dishes, superbly presented throughout. Shore walks were well-judged for the conditions, always really enjoyable and informative. We saw plenty of wildlife, both on walks and from the deck of the Lucy Mary, including many more white-tailed (sea) eagles than we’d expected. We had booked the Master Cabin and it was superb, well appointed and extremely comfortable. Certainly worth the extra cost without a shadow of doubt. Thank you! We’ll be back!

Exceeding every expectation our 3 night mini cruise was a delight from start to finish . Comfort on the Lucy Mary is second to none, we had our best 3 nights sleep for a long time! The food was first class, best quality and wonderful imaginative menus. (Thank you Sammy). Nothing was ever too much trouble and everything has been thought of. ( Thank you Abbie) . Skipper Chris looked after us on and off the boat and was great company too. Indy our wildlife expert on the island stops and on the boat was engaging, knowledgeable and seemed to have eyes in the back of his head. All the crew love what they do and it shows! It was our first Hebrides cruise , although others were returner. We loved every minute of it and will be returners too . Even the weather played ball, with sunshine ☀️ every day .
