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

Having left the Elizabeth G and the amazing Hebrides Cruises team today (following the most extraordinary 10 day trip to St Kilda & the Hebrides) I cannot shout loud enough in my support for this shortlisting!! Your care, attention, professionalism and quality are all beyond top standard. We have had amazing nature, wildlife, Hebrides and boating experiences and lessons everyday & I am leaving the trip with a far better awareness & understanding than when I started (in particular regarding our human impact on sea life and why we must respect & preserve it as much as possible). Thank you so much Hebrides Cruises & good luck in the finals!!
