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!

Hi Emma, Roger and Viv, Kate and I really enjoyed the cruise despite the weather challenges and despite only briefly reaching the Outer Hebrides! We would particularly like to record our appreciation of all the work and help from the crew . Charlie , Lynsey, Jennie and Issie were all an absolute delight to sail with and they made a really great team. I should also add we did have very entertaining fellow passengers who together with the crew contributed to a memorable holiday. Please pass on our sincerest thanks to the crew. Kind regards, Ian
