What a fantastic cruise! Despite not being able to reach St Kilda because of the weather, the skipper (Charlie), who knew the area and islands in great detail, took us to some magical places. Mingulay was our favourite - the beautiful beach was full of seals and we also saw a lot of nesting puffins. Bella (wildlife expert) pointed out the numerous different seabirds, plus porpoise and minky whales and took us for walks most days. We were looked after extremely well by Jasmine (steward) who worked tirelessly to look after us and made sure we had coffees/teas/drinks. And the food was exceptional- Sian is an extremely talented chef. Thank you to the crew who made our holiday so special. Wendy and John

We loved the cruise. The weather went from bad (day 1-2) to glorious and the wonderful crew (Skipper Charlie, Lynsey, Chef Charlie and Sofia) adapted accordingly, from sheltering in a very protected inlet on the first night to prosecco and homemade cheese straws on a beautiful deserted beach in the sunshine at the end. The scenery is stunning and the wildlife sightings were good for the time of year - dolphins, porpoises, a minke whale, eagles, gannets...Lynsey is a brilliant spotter and very knowledgeable. We enjoyed the walks, which gave us a little insight into each island, and the food was absolutely delicious and beautifully presented. Thank you all for being a great team and for looking after us so well.
