One of our wonderful guests not only took the time to send in a review of their cruise, and these images, but penned a poem which we think is really lovely.
To the Hebrides Crew
Around Mull’s isles, where wild seas gleam,
You gave us more than just a dream.
Three nights afloat, the world set free,
A voyage carved in memory.
Abbey, with kindness in every glass,
Cocktails that sparkle, smiles that last.
Beds turned down with gentle care,
Hospitality beyond compare.
Chris, our skipper, steady and true,
Guiding the vessel through waters blue.
With humour and warmth in all you do,
The sea felt safer for me and you.
Pierce, with windows polished bright,
He let the ocean pour in light.
Hands on deck, a cheerful face,
A spirit of help in every space.
Indy, the whisperer of the wild,
With otters and dolphins our hearts beguiled.
Eagles soared where your passion led,
Calm and warm in every word said.
And Calumn, master of galley and flame,
Chef extraordinaire, deserving his fame.
Each dish a delight, each bake a surprise,
Food crafted with skill, both hearty and wise.
Five hearts together, one fine crew,
You gave us moments rare and true.
Forever grateful, we’ll always recall,
The joy you brought, thank you all.
We hope to join you again in the future.
Best wishes
Jane, Rob, Fred, Alfie, Amelia, Hugo and Annie xxx



















We thought the itinerary was well chosen for a varied experience. While sailing near the coastline, the scenery was fabulous of course. When out of sight of land, we were all more intent on spotting birds & cetaceans & Rob was always keen to slow down & manoeuvre to give us the best possible view Some of the landings were a little tricky but all well worth it & we all eventually mastered the art of donning life jackets & boarding the tender. Rob always managed to find us sheltered anchorages, often with views of white-tailed eagles & seals. His local knowledge meant that he could amend the itinerary to suit weather conditions. Although we were unable to land on the Flannan Isles as planned, Rob added in a visit to the Shiants, which more than made up for it. Lynsey has a huge knowledge of wildlife & geology & an amazing ability for spotting cetaceans at a distance. Craig always got us ashore safely & used his experience of the area so suggest suitable walks. For anyone who loves Scotland, has an interest in wildlife, enjoys good food & has even an average amount of fitness & mobility, I’d say “Go for it but make sure you pack clothing for all weathers!"
