Had a wonderful time once again. Chris as skipper was great. He found lovely quiet anchorages each night, and was such a good egg in talking to Brian about ships every day! Lynsey was extremely knowledgeable about the wildlife, and took the time to explain about all sorts of flora and fauna, as well as wildlife. Vanessa, although her first trip, was so enthusiastic and worked really hard on keeping everyone happy. As always the food was excellent, and tried things I’ve never eaten before. All the crew need to be especially commended for their patience and politeness, we hope to back with you again soon. Have just got to save up the pennies! Thank you once again - loved it…. Barbara x

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!"
