We really enjoyed our cruise and were made to feel very welcome on board by a very friendly and knowledgeable crew. The scenery was fantastic, and we enjoyed exploring the islands on foot with our great wildlife guide Lynsey. The anchorages and route were carefully planned by Rob the skipper to take account of the weather and wildlife reports. We were fortunate to see large numbers of dolphins, a few Minke whales, seals and white-tailed eagles, together with countless seabirds. The food was plentiful and absolutely delicious, prepared by Tony, the chef - it was just as well we went walking every day! Craig the bosun was extremely helpful and nothing was too much trouble for any of the crew. There was a good library of books on board. I would certainly recommend Hebrides cruises to anyone who is interested in wildlife, walking, and good food!

We went to St Kilda, it involved 3 passages. Rob did his best for us both going out and the first leg back for what must have been a very tiring day for him ending 0100. St Kilda was very interesting. Generally, we were looked after very well indeed by all four crew members who showed amazing flexibility in being quite happy to take on any job that needed doing. Rob must be a very good leader I think! The food was superb, wildlife commentaries so conscientiously delivered, and Craig particularly demonstrated such thoughtfulness and patience. I did so much too enjoy chatting to Rob in the wheelhouse about diving generally and of course the SBS and Royal Marines. So I think you and Rob, Emma, run a brilliant cruise. What a pity you are so far from Salisbury Best wishes, Rupert
