Dear Emma - I would like to say a big thank you to Hebrides cruises for organising a truly memorable boat trip. Everything was just perfect - the route we took and the staff who were so attentive, knowledgeable and professional. The food really was michelin star standard! Linsay’s knowledge of the wildlife and the islands was incredible. She certainly gave the trip an extra dimension. Sophia was so helpful and kind and of course not forgetting the skipper Chris who guided and planned the route so professionally. Thank you also for arranging such wonderful weather and calm seas for us! Many thanks and best regards, Alison and Rick

The holiday of a life-time. I loved every minute. Obviously the views and islands were amazing but the boat and the especially the crew were amazing also. Angus, Will, Callum and Charlie made us feel part of their boating family and we all entertained each other over dinner in the evenings with our stories and jokes. The other passengers were great and we continue to send pictures and memories to each other on our specially set up WhatsApp group. As a complete non - sailor, I felt safe at all times with Angus our skipper, and I relished the adventure. Will, our wildlife expert, made sure that we witnessed some spectacular events, including a couple of white tailed Eagles; Dolphins sporting with us on the bow wave; and Gannets showing their skills diving for mackerel. Callum was lovely, always attentive to our needs and always smiling, filling up our glasses, bringing us tea on deck without spilling any. ( How did he do that?) And Charlie, our Chef, wow the food was superb, what a star. I am hoping to start painting the fabulous sea scapes very soon while the warm glow of the experience is still in my veins. Thank you for a very special time.
