Our 2023 cruising season was truly exceptional for wildlife, especially for cetacean sightings.  Our guests had lots of their own special highlights including shore trips, food on board, scenery, the crews and the lovely guests they met - read our guest reviews!

As ever the crew knowledge of secluded anchorages and ability to tweak the itinerary to keep everyone safe was very appreciated. As was the willingness to take us to Tobermory for an impromptu retail session. As ever the hospitality was outstanding. We love the relaxed and casual atmosphere on board, but with a real eye to detail and great customer service. Nothing is too much trouble.  We cannot fault the quality of Sian’s cooking – whatever the sea state. The cabin fairy was ever present again – every time we left the boat we could see he’d been hard at work cleaning!
