Magical 4 days spent exploring in the Inner Hebrides, with the Cairns of Coll the undoubted highlight. We chose not to go ashore due to mobility, but our ever attentive captain James instead took us on a short tour through the Cairns in the tender to see seals basking onshore. Bella, our guide, was fantastic, spotting wildlife along the various shorelines. Carlton, the chef, produced amazing cakes for afternoon tea, his dinners were superb, and drop scones for breakfast! Steward Abbie provided excellent service throughout the trip, from daytime teas and coffees to nightime cocktails and aperitifs, as well as serving meals and generally keeping the ship... well, shipshape! Fantastic all round attention to our needs, especially with Janet's mobility. Can't wait to come back and do it all over again!

Dear Emma - Firstly, let me say a huge thank you to Rob, Craig, Bumble and Zoë for the wonderful way they made us feel so welcome and at home on Elizabeth G. Thanks too to Elizabeth G for being such a safe and reliable vessel. We wish the weather had been kinder but we always were able to take advantage of the trips ashore and saw some superb woldlife. We really enjoyed Bumble's great cooking and Zoë's excellent wildlife knowledge. Craig was amazing in the way he switched roles seamlessly and helped with the trips ashore. Rob's seamanship and experience was greatly admired and no more so than the day he responded to the Mayday call. He was also great to chat to and kept us amused in the wheelhouse on long wet passages with tales of colourful characters from his decades of association with the sea. It was an amazing experience - thank you.
