Brilliant! Skipper Neil sorted a weather window which allowed us to spend 2 nights in Village Bay. He was very kind and caring although he had a slightly worried look on his face when I decided to go swimming off the boat when we arrived at St Kilda!! He was an absolute professional and we felt very, very safe with his outstanding knowledge and skippering skills, ( couldn’t understand him though, I hope I gave appropriate responses!) Lindsey was absolutely amazing, she injected an enthusiasm and delight at sharing her wildlife knowledge and quite understood when I cried when I saw whales and dolphins! She is a really excellent ambassador for your company - she really made sure we got the best out of our holiday. Jasmin was superb with her dinner arrangements and drinks service also keeping our cabins welcoming. Last but not least Charlie what can I say apart from amazing food and I do have a complaint here though…my waistline expanded somewhat! The cruise exceeded our expectations and we had an amazing time with the current crew on Emma Jane xx
