Dear Emma - Just a quick note from Ian and me to say what an incredible week we have just had on Emma Jane. Huge thanks to James and all the crew for their professionalism and for making the whole trip so good. Admittedly we were truly blessed with the weather but the route, the knowledge, the hospitality and care we received was wonderful. The chef Emma did you proud not only producing delicious meals with such grace but also tending to our various needs. The boat is just lovely. Please pass on our message of thanks to all concerned.

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!
