This trip exceeded our expectations because of the islands we visited and the landings we made. We have been trying to visit The Shiants for a year or so and we were delighted that we made it this time. Overall a fantastic trip with great weather. The crew were exceptional both individually and as a team. Lewis as skipper always had our comfort and best interests at heart and clearly explained what he was doing and why when plans had to be tweaked. Jaya’s menus were creative and full of surprises, we ate very well. Abbie looked after us very well from that first cup of tea in the morning through to last orders. Lynsey, who we’ve met on a previous trip, was as good as we remembered. Her knowledge and experience was so helpful in helping us to appreciate and understand what we were seeing. Finally, a great group of fellow passengers who we will happily travel with again. Thank you all for a great trip. Charmaine & John L

A very positive experience. Right from stepping onto the pontoon the crew were helpful, friendly, welcoming and considerate. The weather was not the best for the week, but the crew had a Plan A, Plan B and Plan C at all times. The scenery every day was spectacular, and the skipper ensured that the boat motored at a suitable speed to enjoy it all. The walks onshore were very enjoyable. Crew knowledge was excellent. At all times throughout the week, the crew were patient, understanding and tolerant, willing to spend time answering questions and prioritizing the customers, no matter what other tasks were to be done. All the crew were courteous, professional and welcoming, putting the wishes and comfort of customers first. The food was of excellent quality, it was lovely to have fresh food every meal, with freshly made bread too! Jaya provided a fabulous range of meals, with something different every time and the beautiful table settings were a huge credit to Sophia! There is absolutely nothing that can be faulted in the cruise!
