Everything about our trip was fabulous. The crew were all superlative; the food at truly gourmet levels; the Boat excellent and the organisation of our excursions brilliant.

This was a fabulous cruise in idyllic weather. We saw numerous common dolphins, bottlenose dolphins, minke whales, storm petrel, Manx Shearwater, even an otter! The crew were great, so friendly and professional- Iain, Lauren, Craig and Sally . Sally is a wonderful chef. I will be back!

A wonderful trip. Visited all my favourite islands and discovered new anchorages too. The crew couldn’t have taken better care of us, and the dolphins were just showing off. We saw an otter from the hide on Rum, and discovered the best place to swim on Muck. Magical.

I do not often write reviews as I am always suspicious when I read a review that sounds very perfect, however having recently got back from my Elizabeth G cruise I can only say that perfect it was! From the very beginning Emma (shore manager) was very helpful and knowledgeable and sorted out all of my questions. On board the four crew members Sally, Iain, Craig and Lauren went out of their way to make the trip spectacular. The food was beyond belief, the service was also beyond reproach, the skipper could not do enough to keep us comfortable and to enable the viewing of multiple Wild Life and spectacular moorings. This was all done in conjunction with the unbelievable contribution of our Wild Life guide Lauren. I very much look forward to another trip next year.

A wonderful introduction to the Hebrides. Exemplary service from the team - keeping the Lucy Mary sparkling in all weathers, dishing up delicious meals, guiding us with entertaining expertise and navigating through challenging waves to keep those of us novice sailors from going green. Thank you all!

We booked up this cruise over a year in advance as it seemed so popular. When we did it we saw why. It was all and more we had anticipated and that in no small part is down to the fantastic skipper and crew. They treated us more like family than paying guests and did all they could to ensure we had a great time. The islands are beautiful in their own right but with the expert knowledge of the skipper we went to secluded bays and gorgeous beaches and always moored somewhere with amazing views. Thanks To Bella the wildlife guide we saw things we would have missed ourselves and we were treated to sea eagles, porpoises, dolphins and a few minke whales! Sammy fed us like royalty with imaginative and super tasty meals and then there was the daily homemade cakes. Yum. Abbie looked after everything on board even down to different table decorations every night and chocs on the pillow. Will was always polishing or painting and taking us shore in the tender. All in all a brilliant holiday and we have already booked up our next one.

I have already recommeded Hebrides Cruises to two of my sisters.  It was extra special, we cannot fault anything with the crew (James, Bella, Abbie, Sammy and Will) or the vessel Lucy Mary.  Everyday was designed to enrich our experience, and I do not believe one can ask for anymore.  The entire crew are a huge assest to the company.

Amazing, We were lucky with the weather and had 5days unbroken sunshine. This was the icing on one of Izzys lovely cakes. We were lucky to see everything we hoped to see from Minke Whale to Golden Eagle and everything in between. George was a brilliant  guide who knew where to look and what we were looking at. Izzy should be on Masterchef, Craig was a brilliant/caring  Steward/Bosun/Cleaner/everything and Skipper Chris was brilliant at negotiating the sometimes choppy seas around the islands  and finding  Idyllic anchorages for the nights.  Excellent We would give it more stars if they were available. We booked the cruise to celebrate our 50th Wedding Anniversary and the crew made every effort to make it special. From Izzy's celebration cake  to the Anniversary card which they all  signed.  Thank you all.

The scenery was spectacular, the choice and order of the itinerary was excellent.  The Skipper and Guide were extremely knowledgeable, friendly and interesting.  The weather was glorious!  An excellent team that went out of their way to ensure that everyone was happy and enjoying their holiday.  All extremely hardworking, friendly and cheerful.

We think you have all the right ingredients already.  The things like the weather and the wildlife sightings which are the 'icing on the cake' cannot be controlled, but you all try your best to accommodate and thats all anyone can ask.  Outstanding, thank you for making our holiday so enjoyable.  Chris exceptional in finding the best routes as per weather conditions and always ready to divert off course for sightings of more wildlife to give us all the best advantage of seeing and experiencing as much as possible. Thank you.
