A dream of a Hebridean Cruise! A huge Thank you! to Rob who took us to the most beautiful safe, sheltered & secluded anchorages each night, allowing us to relive tearful family memories on our favourite island haunts, and to discover new amazing places we could only get to on the Emma Jane! An exhilarating trip to the Shiants with thousands of puffins, and all wildlife spotting and island walks were led expertly by our naturalist guide Lynsey. And to top all of the that, we would always return to delicious feasts prepared by Charlie, and beautifully clean cabins, prepared with kindness by Jasmine. Thank you to you all, we will most definitely return with our family!

Emma was very helpful with the additional questions I had and the crew very helpful when boarding, made us feel very welcome. The itinerary was outstanding. We had Rob as skipper and his local knowledge of the area, wildlife and weather forecasts was invaluable as the itinerary was adjusted to fit in with the forecast conditions giving us best chance of landing on St Kilda. The two nights on St Kilda were the culmination of a 40 year ambition for me. All the crew were exemplary. I particularly enjoyed being able to visit the bridge from time to time and chat to Rob. Mark was a great bosun, nothing was too much trouble and he was particularly adept at pouring malt whisky, which was a skill was very much appreciated. It was also great to have Chris Gomersall along to show us where to look to see all the wonderful wildlife. It was extra special!
