Dear Emma - Val and I have just returned from a week on Mull following our fantastic cruise on Elizabeth G. We would like to thank our skipper Chris and his crew of Amy ,Morag and Sam for their friendly, attentive yet professional care .Nothing was too much trouble and we were really well looked after. We were privileged to see some fantastic wildlife including a pod of 50 dolphin and a Minke whale with calf along with many species of seabirds .The scenery from both Elizabeth G and ashore was spectacular and we thoroughly enjoyed our Hebridean Adventure. Kind regards, Kevin and Val Ibson

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!"
