All absolutely wonderful! The crew – Skipper Angus, boatswain Callum, chef Charlie and guide Sam – were friendly, courteous, and 100% competent at all times, and simply great company, in whom we had complete confidence. Angus skilfully navigated us around scenic and wildlife-rich sites that were more or less sheltered from the somewhat persistent south-westerlies, with tranquil anchorages, and was always willing to let us peer at his seabed charts along our route (Loch Sunnart > N. Ardnamurchan > Inverie > Rum > Tobermory > Strontian > Sunnart > Ulva > around S. Mull, including Iona, to Lochbuie, then Loch Spelve > Oban). Lots of enjoyable walks along the way, enlivened by Sam’s amazing ability to spot wildlife and his encyclopaedic knowledge thereof – a highly experienced guide who added enormously to our enjoyment. Charlie magicked up delicious, wholesome meals in her tiny galley, and Callum got us safely anchored, on and off the tender and completed the cheerful company. Great Team!

The cruise of a lifetime on a fine wee ship with a first-class crew! Rob, our Skipper, was prepared to discuss our ambitions and was very flexible - nothing was too much trouble. Craig (Bosun) tended to our every whim always unobtrusive but always there at the right moments. Sarah's cooking was exceptional and we looked forward to every meal and were extremely spoiled! The irrepressible Zoe, our wildlife expert for the trip, taught us a great deal and was enormous fun! The whole crew made this a wonderful experience and we hope they enjoyed the trip as much as we did. This exceeded our expectations and we reached St Kilda!
