We thought the itinerary was well chosen for a varied experience. While sailing near the coastline, the scenery was fabulous of course. When out of sight of land, we were all more intent on spotting birds & cetaceans & Rob was always keen to slow down & manoeuvre to give us the best possible view Some of the landings were a little tricky but all well worth it & we all eventually mastered the art of donning life jackets & boarding the tender. Rob always managed to find us sheltered anchorages, often with views of white-tailed eagles & seals. His local knowledge meant that he could amend the itinerary to suit weather conditions. Although we were unable to land on the Flannan Isles as planned, Rob added in a visit to the Shiants, which more than made up for it. Lynsey has a huge knowledge of wildlife & geology & an amazing ability for spotting cetaceans at a distance. Craig always got us ashore safely & used his experience of the area so suggest suitable walks. For anyone who loves Scotland, has an interest in wildlife, enjoys good food & has even an average amount of fitness & mobility, I’d say “Go for it but make sure you pack clothing for all weathers!"

We loved our cruise on the Elizabeth G. Craig, Zoe, James and Charlie looked after us all so well; they couldn't have done more. The food was out of this world, absolutely five star! The excursions onto the islands and remote secluded bays were so expertly lead by Zoe. She was constantly on the look for interesting birds and creatures to show us. We were delighted to watch an otter come out of the sea and up the shore and also to see dolphins, sea eagles, razorbills, puffins, guillemots, shags, a skua and the list could go on and on... Craig attended to our every need on board and the captain (James) kindly invited us to go and see the engine room and the also the bridge. Both were fascinating. I would not hesitate to recommend this amazing holiday.
