What a wonderful and eventful trip. Elizabeth G is charming and well appointed. The food was exceptional and all the staff were considerate and helpful at all times. We expected rain so the moderate weather was a relief although we never actually made it to Skye because we had a very special day when we saw Minke whales, humpbacks and to crown it all the last two orcas in the British Isles just before high winds came in. Dolphins swam with the boat multiple times. The crew were always on the look out for wild life and would call us whenever there was anything special to see and were very knowledgable about the the wild life. For me it was a little less active than my normal trips but well worth it.

We were recommended to this cruise by some friends who had a wonderful time. We were not disappointed. From start to finish we had an amazing time - even though the weather was a little patchy. The skipper and crew, James, Piers, Callum, Abby and our Wildlife Guide, Katie as well as Emma onshore, were highly professional but also welcoming and great fun and everything worked. The food was brilliant and, most of all, the other guests were wonderful company. We have certainly passed on our recommendation to friends and family and do hope to come again in the future. Thank you Hebrides Cruises!

Everything about our trip was fabulous. The crew were all superlative; the food at truly gourmet levels; the Boat excellent and the organisation of our excursions brilliant.

A wonderful trip. Visited all my favourite islands and discovered new anchorages too. The crew couldn’t have taken better care of us, and the dolphins were just showing off. We saw an otter from the hide on Rum, and discovered the best place to swim on Muck. Magical.

I do not often write reviews as I am always suspicious when I read a review that sounds very perfect, however having recently got back from my Elizabeth G cruise I can only say that perfect it was! From the very beginning Emma (shore manager) was very helpful and knowledgeable and sorted out all of my questions. On board the four crew members Sally, Iain, Craig and Lauren went out of their way to make the trip spectacular. The food was beyond belief, the service was also beyond reproach, the skipper could not do enough to keep us comfortable and to enable the viewing of multiple Wild Life and spectacular moorings. This was all done in conjunction with the unbelievable contribution of our Wild Life guide Lauren. I very much look forward to another trip next year.

This was a fabulous cruise in idyllic weather. We saw numerous common dolphins, bottlenose dolphins, minke whales, storm petrel, Manx Shearwater, even an otter! The crew were great, so friendly and professional- Iain, Lauren, Craig and Sally . Sally is a wonderful chef. I will be back!

A wonderful introduction to the Hebrides. Exemplary service from the team - keeping the Lucy Mary sparkling in all weathers, dishing up delicious meals, guiding us with entertaining expertise and navigating through challenging waves to keep those of us novice sailors from going green. Thank you all!

I have already recommeded Hebrides Cruises to two of my sisters.  It was extra special, we cannot fault anything with the crew (James, Bella, Abbie, Sammy and Will) or the vessel Lucy Mary.  Everyday was designed to enrich our experience, and I do not believe one can ask for anymore.  The entire crew are a huge assest to the company.

We booked up this cruise over a year in advance as it seemed so popular. When we did it we saw why. It was all and more we had anticipated and that in no small part is down to the fantastic skipper and crew. They treated us more like family than paying guests and did all they could to ensure we had a great time. The islands are beautiful in their own right but with the expert knowledge of the skipper we went to secluded bays and gorgeous beaches and always moored somewhere with amazing views. Thanks To Bella the wildlife guide we saw things we would have missed ourselves and we were treated to sea eagles, porpoises, dolphins and a few minke whales! Sammy fed us like royalty with imaginative and super tasty meals and then there was the daily homemade cakes. Yum. Abbie looked after everything on board even down to different table decorations every night and chocs on the pillow. Will was always polishing or painting and taking us shore in the tender. All in all a brilliant holiday and we have already booked up our next one.
