Hi Emma - Just wanted to pass on our sincere thanks for what was an amazing cruise. Way beyond anything we expected just so many fantastic memories made. A big thank you to the crew Bryn was a great skipper had complete faith in him even in the bad weather !! Kept us up to date and just an Allround great bloke. Charlie the chef well what’s not to say the food was just mind blowing she must be a great credit to your business MASTER CHEF CHAMPION !!!! Craig the bosun so hard working great for a chat couldn’t do more for us during our time and always there to help and sort anything brilliant. And last but not least Lindsay our guide what a lady she found us so much wildlife it was unbelievable and to see her so excited and enthusiastic was a treat, The moment the Minkie whale breached for about the 6th time she was jumping up and down like a kid in a sweet shop !!! Thank you again we will certainly be recommending the cruise to family and friends and hopefully will book again soon. Kind Regard - Martin Burrett

We were so pleased with the charter booking from the initial emails inquiring about dates available to the last minute questions and timely responses as we prepared to head to Scotland. Emma is professional, kind, and prompt in responding by email. We appreciate good customer service and yours is excellent. Since this was our second cruise with Skipper James and the Emma Jane, we knew what to expect about anchorages and visiting the islands. However, this cruise exceeded any expectations we had. We enjoyed returning to some islands we had previously visited and seeing new places. We continue to be overwhelmed by our visit to St. Kilda (thank you, Skipper James!) and seeing the many, many species and numbers of birds throughout the cruise that were not around in these numbers in September 2017. James knows much about all aspects of the Hebrides; if he doesn’t know an answer, he says that he doesn’t know. I like that. Will was knowledgeable about cetaceans, birds, plants, and extremely helpful to those of us who decided to take some of the walks that included narrow and muddy trails with steep inclines. He was available to offer a hand or arm to steady us as we hiked up and down the hills. Anchoring in protected areas overnight is an extraordinary experience—the quiet, the skies, the gentle rocking of the vessel. All ten of us on this charter live on bodies of water—bays, lakes, ocean. Anchoring in coves next to small villages or near an unpopulated island is special. The cruise was extra special. We were made to feel welcomed back and our friends from New Hampshire were thrilled with their experiences seeing the Hebrides and the wildlife, scenery, remoteness, and the comfort of the Emma Jane.
