I persuaded a group of friends to travel with Hebrides cruises to Skye,the small isles and the Shiants. It was a great decision. The destinations were magical and our captain, Jake, could not have been more helpful in selecting moorings which suited our preferences for wilderness locations. Emma Jane was surprisingly roomy and extremely comfortable with lots of space above and below decks. The food was delicious, thank you Charlie! Jas looked after us really well and Lauren our wildlife guide with a passion for whales and dolphins found many for us to marvel at.

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!
