The crew were fantastic in every respect – the skippers Chris and Lewis always happy to welcome guests to the wheelhouse and patiently explain charts and instruments; Lynsey’s knowledge and eagle-eyes ensured we didn’t miss anything either on shore or at sea, and her helpful consideration to us (as the oldest guests!) when climbing in or out of the RIB was very much appreciated! Jaya prepared the most delicious meals every day - and her fresh-baked cakes and biscuits were always appreciated at afternoon tea. Last but not least, Sophia – always with a beaming smile, making sure the guests wanted for nothing, turning her hand to whatever was required – and ensuring the dining table looked picture-perfect, her napkin folding was a work of art! For all these reasons, we are hoping to book again soon – but this time for 10 days, the 6 nights on board Emma Jane went by all too fast! Although ours was a rather late booking, it was a simple process, all our enquiries were answered promptly by Emma. We were informed well in advance of all arrangements for boarding and disembarking – and everything went according to plan. Pre boarding, the crew introduced themselves on the dock and swiftly transported our baggage to the boat. It was a pleasure to meet Emma as we boarded the boat, by which time all our baggage was already in our cabin. On disembarking, everything went like clockwork: by the time we’d all said our farewells, our baggage was on the dockside waiting for us to collect.

Gary and I would love to leave a review - not only for this particular cruise destination - Skye and Small Isles - which was far more interesting and entertaining to reach their shores by ship! However, to explain the whole experience of six nights of first class safe quality sailing, a dance of the taste buds at every meal, the knowledgeable guidance to witness our Scottish wildlife (for which I can assure you there are no polar bears! What happened on my iPad stays on my iPad! and the attention to small details for which only a true hidden artist can achieve - this MUST be experienced first hand! I am sure all seven of our friendly fellow guests will agree - we had the wonderful weather, the wine and the willingness to return again! No doubt - readers of this review - go whilst your legs can still carry you! With grateful thanks to all concerned Love Lesley
