Just returned from another fantastic cruise on Emma Jane. The scenery was awesome and as for the wildlife, what can I say - we saw dolphins, minkes, white tailed eagles, puffins and far too many others to mention! The islands never disappoint, there's always something new to see and the crew know exactly where to take us for the best views and wildlife spotting. As always, the crew were brilliant and always helpful - particularly to those of us with creaky knees! James, thank you so much for the wooden Step of Stability - I can't emphasise enough what a huge difference it made to me when getting in and out of the tender. The step should be featured on the front page of your website as reassurance to anyone who has any doubts about their ability to get off the boat! Finally, when will there be a Hebrides Cruises recipe book?! Thanks for everything, we can't wait to be back in board!

Thank you for another brilliant cruise. We visited some lovely small islands during this trip and saw a lot of wildlife including minke whales, loads of dolphins including 3 separate groups bow riding with us and harbour porpoises plus otters, sea eagles and golden eagles. Our guide Conor was brilliant spotting wildlife and his plant knowledge matched any encyclopedia as he gave us an overview on them all along with the geology of the region. Craig, our Bosun, was really attentive with looking after us all, Sian's meals were always a treat whilst keeping within the several dietary requirements onboard and Chris, our Skipper, took us to some wonderful places and always found a beautiful anchorage for us each night. Onshore Emma sorted out all of the administration and arrangements quickly and kept us up to date with the trip details. Nothing was too much for her as she also helped out with a car transfer suggestion when the usual travel plans were difficult due to flight changes. Another perfect trip thank you to you all....
