We are not 'cruise people'. The very thought of being on a ship with cinemas, shows, and hoards of people has always been an anathema! Yet this cruise appealed to us, a small group of people, a short duration, and a crew of 4 to look after 8 people. Plus, of course, the islands and the wildlife. We took the plunge and booked. It turned out to be a wonderful experience. The boat (Lucy Mary) was just the right size; our cabin was comfortable and private; the lounge and bar were relaxing. From the decks we had superb views. Both the islands (walking across the rocks to Fingel's Cave was a particular highlight) and the wildlife (we saw whales, dolphins, puffins, eagles and more) were all that we had hoped them to be. And the crew were brilliant - all 4 of them (Skipper, Guide, Hostess and Cook). It was a real pleasure to have one of them join us for dinner each evening. Thank you Chris, Indy, Abi and Sarah!

Hi Emma, following our trip last week, I just wanted to express my gratitude for the wonderful charter cruise with Rob to the inner Hebrides on the Emma Jane. Nicola, the chef produced the most wonderful culinary delights. The food was absolutely amazing and cooked to an exceptionally high standard. What an absolute treat.!! It will always be a memorable fine dining experience and exceeded all of my expectations. Zoe was an excellent guide oozing enthusiasm and a wealth of knowledge of sea life. An absolute treasure. Sofia was an absolute gem who was friendly and attentive.... and truly went above and beyond to help in any way. Thank you all so much and I look forward to seeing you again. Anne Gardiner
