A wonderful and perfect cruise! We knew when we booked the cruise it was never guaranteed that we would reach St Kilda because of the vagaries of weather and sea states. However, thanks to the expertise of skipper James we were able to pick out a window in the weather that allowed us a two night stay at St Kilda and what a magical place it proved to be. On the cruise we were delighted by the wide range of wildlife we saw, thanks to the expertise of our wild life guide, Indy. The "beasties" we saw ranged from the St Kilda Wren to Humpback Whale. What a treat. We enjoyed walks on various islands and the mainland, again guided by Indy, and James was more than ably assisted by his bosun, Tristan, to get us safely on shore and back to Lucy Mary. Here we were greeted by the smiling face and bubbly personality of Poppy, the ship's host, who presented us with delicious and varied meals and snacks prepared by Sammy, our brilliant chef. Thank you James and your crew for the most wonderful and unforgettable experience.
