I would like to say what a fantastic trip we had. James is such a kind and considerate skipper, going out of his way to make sure all the guests were happy, as were all the crew. The Proud seahorse is a beautiful ship, comfortable and so nicely fitted out and so pleased you left the hot tub on deck. Congratulations on your new ship.
We sailed on The Proud Seahorse's maiden voyage around Skye and the small isles. What a lovely boat, beautifully fitted out and so comfortable. After being welcomed aboard with champagne and canapés we were introduced to the crew, their first time together. No hiccups, everything went smoothly.
Our charming skipper James,very experienced and knowledgable watching the weather for our comfort aided by Maddy who never stopped making sure we were all cared for.
Freshly made bread, cakes or biscuits each day with delicious meals prepared by chef Peter. Taken ashore by Nigel our wild life expert for the week who went the extra mile literally, looking for Puffins on Canna.
All the guests really had a super time and to crown it all off a soak in the hot tub! (Not all at once might I add). Wonderful.

What an amazing holiday. It exceeded our expectations. It was our first visit to Scotland and our first cruise. We were thoroughly spoilt. Chris, the skipper navigated his way around the stunning Isles and lochs ensuring we had every opportunity to spot wildlife whilst respecting the correct distance. Maggie, stewardess, nothing was too much trouble. Her attention to detail was excellent especially her creative table napkin sculptures. Carleton produced the most amazing culinary delights. Top quality dishes from such a small galley. Hannah, our wildlife expert. Her enthusiasm and knowledge was superb. She took time to explain things and made sure everyone was able get good sightings especially of the eagles' nests. She clearly loves her subject. And then the flora and fauna- dolphins, whales, seals, and the numerous species of birds including golden and white tailed eagles. A special mention to Emma and Hannah for dealing with and arranging for our luggage to be reunited with us midway through our cruise. Such a memorable holiday and will hopefully return soon.
