Wow! Arranged as a very special celebration of an important birthday, our cruise exceeded expectations in every way. Lucy Mary is a terrific boat - very well equipped, spacious and fittingly elegant, we found her the perfect embodiment of sea-going luxury. But as ever it is the human touch that makes or breaks - in this case, very much the former. Captain Chris and his brilliant crew welcomed us aboard with a champagne cream tea, setting a level of service that never dipped below outstanding. Always attentive and accommodating, every aspect of our voyage was of the highest quality, from keeping the boat spotlessly clean, amazing meals and stewardship and of course exemplary cruising and onshore activities. We were on board for a mere three nights but were astounded by the beauty of our surroundings and the extraordinary wildlife that we were privileged to experience. In short, we could not have hoped for more. We and our friends have formed remarkable memories that will stay with us for a very long time. Thanks for an utterly brilliant time! Simon & Kerry

James skippers a wonderful crew with immense professionalism earning their considerable respect. The Lucy Mary is so well suited to providing guests with a level of comfort and security to allow the relaxed and enjoyable experience to be fully appreciated. Our hostess Abbie, artistically laid table, served spectacular meals and drinks, she could not have done more to wait on us and yet like a fairy godmother discretely kept our cabins and heads in pristine order. Tash, our delightful diligent chef is an imaginative delight, a real asset to the ship. Indy and Will clearly have talents in ship steerage! However, Indy's wild life knowledge and his enthusiasm to share, is when his true talent becomes infectious. We were so fortunate to get to St Kilda to witness a true world wonder of bird and cetacean variety and concentration brought to life with Indy's narrative. Hebrides Cruses is an exceptional experience, thank you.
