From the first contact to the final farewell, this couldn't have been a better experience. This particular cruise was perfect for me as a novice cruiser who suffers from sea-sickness! I'm now a convert.... six days was enough for my first trip but I'd be delighted to go for longer with Hebrides Cruises now. We were very lucky with the weather - only a day and a half of rain - and the sea was calm. The staff on land and the crew on board looked after us so well. The wildlife guide had an exceptional wealth of knowledge, the bosun could turn his hand to anything from origami napkins to cleaning the anchor chain, the cook should offer master classes in haute cuisine in a tiny galley and the skipper took decisions based on the conditions so that we had the best chance of seeing wildlife. All were professional and considerate, and relaxed. While the space on board is 'compact', it is a charming vessel with everything provided. I can't recommend this cruise highly enough!

Wow! Arranged as a very special celebration of an important birthday, our cruise exceeded expectations in every way. Lucy Mary is a terrific boat - very well equipped, spacious and fittingly elegant, we found her the perfect embodiment of sea-going luxury. But as ever it is the human touch that makes or breaks - in this case, very much the former. Captain Chris and his brilliant crew welcomed us aboard with a champagne cream tea, setting a level of service that never dipped below outstanding. Always attentive and accommodating, every aspect of our voyage was of the highest quality, from keeping the boat spotlessly clean, amazing meals and stewardship and of course exemplary cruising and onshore activities. We were on board for a mere three nights but were astounded by the beauty of our surroundings and the extraordinary wildlife that we were privileged to experience. In short, we could not have hoped for more. We and our friends have formed remarkable memories that will stay with us for a very long time. Thanks for an utterly brilliant time! Simon & Kerry
