Everything, but everything, was first class. The care we received was outstanding in all spheres. Of course, you all did so much more than the following comments but these extras are very much part of what now warms my heart and makes me smile. James greeting us as we landed ashore and on every return to Lucy Mary with his “welcome to…..” Also for trying that little bit extra for me to see a St Kilda wren. I heard it! Abbie with her delightful “ you are very welcome…” when she served us yet another tea/coffee/or glass of something stronger. Tash personally serving the cheese after every delicious meal. Indie’s leaping around, determined for us to see all the wildlife he could see. Will’s perfect and constant window cleaning. Nothing slapdash ever. The bond between the staff was obvious and really contributed to the enjoyment of a totally unforgettable holiday. Well done to everyone on board Lucy Mary and to your staff ashore too. THANK YOU!

We chartered the Lucy Mary for a Big Boat Adventure with our special and complicated family. It was even better than last year: there is a magical space where the sky meets the sea and everyone becomes their best self. Together our children, diverse in every way, were awed at following otter tracks up a pristine white beach, thrilled at fast and bumpy tender rides and delighted to hang over the bow with the dolphins. The crew scanned the sea for creatures great and small and navigated us into Fingal’s cave and up to the top of Ardnamurchan lighthouse; yet every adventure ended in a beautiful calm anchorage for swimming and sleeping. Each day we woke up to sparkling windows and stunning scenery; after each adventure we feasted on delicious fresh food at a whimsically decorated table. Somehow the water and wind and wild made the world stop awhile and we had huge fun and enjoyed every moment. Even the rain didn’t matter: our clothes dried superfast and we warmed up with hot chocolate and tea in thermos mugs (and chocolate cake). Next year’s adventure is already the highlight of our calendar.
