Hi Emma, following our trip last week, I just wanted to express my gratitude for the wonderful charter cruise with Rob to the inner Hebrides on the Emma Jane. Nicola, the chef produced the most wonderful culinary delights. The food was absolutely amazing and cooked to an exceptionally high standard. What an absolute treat.!! It will always be a memorable fine dining experience and exceeded all of my expectations. Zoe was an excellent guide oozing enthusiasm and a wealth of knowledge of sea life. An absolute treasure. Sofia was an absolute gem who was friendly and attentive.... and truly went above and beyond to help in any way. Thank you all so much and I look forward to seeing you again. Anne Gardiner

Only superlatives could be used to describe this cruise, held in the most modern of the Company's ships, the Lucy Mary. A detailed account of the cruise has been given independently by another reviewer and I have limited my use of detail accordingly. The ship was comfortable and well maintained. We sailed with a complement of five crew and six guests and the atmosphere was good throughout the duration of the voyage. All of the crew contributed to this success, but most obvious was the professional partnership between James (skipper) and Indy (the wildlife guide); the first positioning the ship close to wildlife and the guide then having the academic knowledge to impart a fascinating account of it. Safety measures were appropriately maintained without disrupting the principal objectives of the cruise. Taken all together, a very professional delivery by Hebrides Cruises.
