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

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!
