Emma was very prompt informing us of a cancellation which enabled us to do the Far-flung Islands Cruise. All very friendly, informal and helpful. Delighted to be taken to 2 of my most favourite anchorages ever, Rona and Loch Scavaig! And wonderful to discover others to compete. Scenery is stunning whatever the weather. Onshore trips were well planned and balanced according to the capacity of clients. I enjoyed freedom at times. Crew local knowledge is what makes these trips so special…knowing where to find the wildlife and where to shelter when necessary is fundamental. Well done! Recent alterations on Elizabeth G are brilliant. Go for it!

Our trip on Emma Jane, with James and Chris at the helm, was the highlight of our 50th Wedding Anniversary celebrations. We were greeted by name on arrival, which straight away made us feel welcome. The scenery was fantastic. Will was always on the lookout, we saw dolphins off Muck, minke whales off the northern coast of Skye, white tailed eagles in the sky, and got up close to puffins and razorbills on the Shiants. Not forgetting the spectacular geology, flora and fauna of the islands. The food prepared by Jaya and served by Beatrice was outstanding; we could not have asked for better. They even made a celebration cake for us. Trips ashore each day and guided walks were tailored to individuals capability. Chris, James and Will were only too willing to share their local knowledge and expertise. Having driven the West Coast roads of Scotland last year and previously visited the Isles of Mull and Skye, our trip gave us the opportunity to view the West Coast from a different angle. Thanks to all the crew, we felt safe and well cared for at all times Thanks also to our fellow guests for their good company.
