Booking was easy, Emma always answered our question quickly. The wonderful thing about a cruise is that you wake up someplace new each day. We stayed in lovely quite coves and bays after a day’s exploring on shore. The crew were full of information and Will knew the wild flora and fauna of each place we visited. I really appreciated his knowledge of the birds and plants. There is nothing that the crew could have done to have made our trip any more enjoyable. They even arranged for the weather to be good, other than one day of rain, and arranged that to be on a day that we were steaming. Do it! The ten day trip was wonderful but any trip would be an adventure worth taking.

Scenery was absolutely stunning. Our skipper, Rob, used his extensive experience to create wonderful daily itineraries to discuss & review. The variety of onshore trips to the Small Isles & Skye was magical. An extra hour on Muck, Rum & Canna to walk & explore a wee bit more would have been welcome. Overnight anchorages were beautiful, sheltered & peaceful. Apart from the Small Isles, my highlight was watching the leaping dolphins & harbour porpoises. Will, our wildlife guide, was a walking source of knowledge. The crew were welcoming, knowledgeable & attended to our every need with care. All of the crew had a good sense of humour so there was a holiday atmosphere & fun, as well as time to reflect. Phoebe’s cooking is divine - it was such a luxury to have home made gluten free fare. If she has time to email the rhubarb tart & pecan bisc recipe that would be great. Bea is a hard working bundle of fun - a great housekeeper & hostess. It was so easy to book & pay. Emma emailed clear & timely information. When I phoned with a question she was very helpful. Treat yourself to the trip of a lifetime. Just do it!
