The trip lived up to all our expectations, fantastic scenery, great wildlife and best of all, exquisite food. Although the weather prevented us from visiting the Flannel Isles, our skipper Rob, more than made up for that by expertly navigating to white shell beaches, turquoise blue bays and sheltered coves. Our wildlife guide, Will, was extremely knowledgeable on all aspects of the myriad birds, marine life and cetaceans we saw. For me the highlight he found were the By-the-wind-sailor, tiny violet jewels with a perplexing life cycle. And to top it all, Charlie produced the most delicious food for every meal and at times between meals! All together a great trip.

I was lucky enough to find myself on the Emma Jane in the summer of 2024, courtesy of my wonderful family. Near the end of our cruise, I was asked by one of the crew members what my favourite parts of the trip were. I couldn’t come up with a good answer, though not for lack of amazing moments - quite the opposite, in fact. I came to the realization that the cruise in its entirety was one big highlight. I enjoyed every second I spent on the ship. The food was superb (Thank you, Louie, for putting up with my family of picky eaters!), our guide was very knowledgeable (Lynsey, thank you for teaching me about all of those Scottish seabird species!), the skipper was always friendly (Thanks to you, James, I now aspire to learn how to repair and maintain a ship’s engine) and of course the natural beauty of the Hebrides was simply stunning. I miss being on the ship all the time and hope to be back again one day.
