Our second holiday with Hebrides Cruises, this time on Lucy Mary, and it didn't disappoint a voyage of a lifetime. A varied itinerary with some unexpected and wonderful surprises. We were exceptionally well looked after by James (skipper), Perry (chef), Bella (wildlife guide) and Abbie (steward) on what is probably the most relaxing holiday we have ever experienced. Our biggest challenge now is to decide which cruise to do next time. Thank you for an amazing and memorable holiday. Chris, Christine and Alan

Dear Emma - Many Thanks for a Wonderful Hebrides cruise on the Emma Jane. Keith and I returned to Oban today after our 8 night secret coastline cruise that has been a most enjoyable and memorable adventure. A first time experience on cruising for us both. All the crew were very attentive and made for a relaxed, friendly atmosphere with the other guests on board. Having Jordon as a master chef was a gastronomic delight, always surprising us with more amazing menu’s. Will’s knowledgeable wildlife kept us updated on all the incredible sightings with such a calm manner. Ashley’s creative table touches and warm welcome. Richie as skipper always kept us updated, reassured and good company in charge of the cruise. Thank you once again to All the Emma Jane Hebrides team. King regards - Helen and Keith Fowler

Hello Emma - I'm just writing to say how much I enjoyed my recent trip on Emma Jane circumnavigating Skye. Great company and great crew. Ritchie made the most of the opportunity provided by calm seas to take us to some special places, including a visit to Soay, a close passage of MacLeod's Maidens, (see photo) the Shiant Isles (a real treat!) And a wonderful non scheduled anchorage at Sandaig. We had great wildlife sightings. Will was as ever an excellent guide, and Ashley and Jordan made sure we were wel fed and comfortable. My third trip on Emma Jane and the standard remains perfect. I look forward to another trip one day! Thanks to you and all the team for a great cruise.

What a great week , how lucky were we , the sea was so calm, the mist lifted with the weather improving mid week, then it was too hot!! Finally got to see the puffins on the Shiants after failing on our last visit to Canna.
You have a great crew there who made the holiday very relaxing , now on a diet as definitely indulged in all the lovely cuisine and cakes and prosecco! Totally spoilt. Many thanks and best wishes to you all.

Had a fabulous cruise around Skye and surrounding islands 17 to 24 July. Weather great, with a high pressure sitting over us all week. Amazing encounter with a pod of about 200 dolphins in a flat calm sea, as well as several minke whales, and even a couple of white tailed eagles. Loved the exploration visits to various islands, including the Shiants up north, Raasay, Canna and Eigg and Skye, which we circumnavigated. Food on board fabulous, and plenty of it! Crew of Ritchie, Helen, Lyndsay and Emma very friendly and helpful, and made the week a holiday to remember. Thanks Guys! Would recommend to anyone who loves the sea, small friendly cruises, and a touch of adventure!

My wife and I have been very fortunate to have had some very special holidays in the past, but the recent ‘Skye and the Islands of the Inner Sound’ cruise with Hebrides Cruises was amongst the best. The administration and organisation were excellent, facilities above expectations, food delicious, and the cruising and land-based experiences perfect. The crew were friendly, efficient and professional, and worked incredibly well as a team. We cannot fault the holiday and would like to thank all concerned.

Experience the magic of arriving at the Isle of Skye from the sea, the best way to soak in the incredible scenery and atmosphere of this very special island. Our vessels and guests are often the only visitors on remote, undisturbed coastlines, inaccessible by car. This exclusive 8-night voyage will circumnavigate the whole island – an incredible opportunity to get a true flavour of the Isle of Skye. The scenery is outstanding, with the panorama of mountain ranges, secret coves, stretches of shell sand beaches idyllic small offshore islands. Potential stopovers on the Isle of Skye include a range of contrasting locations on every coast of the island. Shore trips range from cathedral-like caves and abandoned townships to ancient castles and whisky distilleries. Many species of wildlife inhabit these waters with eagles, otters, dolphins and whales frequently spotted. . 
Getting to St Kilda was the realisation of a very long held ambition. So beautiful and so melancholy. It was an important journey for me and I learnt a lot from everyone there. The staff were amazing and Chris Gomershall particularly brilliant. How lucky we were to have him. We saw 5 cetaceans - and saw them very well!
