All was absolutely outstanding. In particular; All of the crew always were always available to help whenever any was needed. Nigel (wildlife guide) was very good in assessing what the differing guests needs were and made sure they were catered for, from quite strenuous “hikes” to gentle strolls depending on the conditions and what there was to see. Mags catered for Alan’s dietary requirements (hereditary fructose intolerance) quite brilliantly, and provided alternatives of a standard that were as for high as the rest of the guests. Craig quietly, calmly and patiently provided his support and services for all the guests in a very relaxed way and couldn’t have been more helpful. Chris explained the reasons behind our changing itinerary each evening very clearly and supported Nigel to provide a choice of activities, and was instrumental in giving us all the best possible opportunities to see the wildlife and scenery. In particular, we got to see inside the cave at Staffa and seals and dolphins from the rib. Very impressive, all very well organised!

We were so spoilt on the Lucy Mary. We were supremely looked after by a very knowledgeable and experienced skipper with an immaculate boat and such a good crew. We saw so much wildlife, ranging from lots of white tailed eagles, golden eagles, dolphins, seals, blue fin tuna, Minke whales and so much more. The service on board was of the highest standard with a chef who should have been working in a Michelin star restaurant, but perhaps she was! They say that quality is all in the details - and on board the Lucy Mary every tiny detail was considered and was correct. I would love to go back next year, but they are apparently fully booked. Roll on 2026!
