Emma I would like to thank all the crew who looked after me on my cruise recently. It was an amazing trip and I enjoyed it more than any trip I have done in the last 10 years. The crew worked together in such harmony and made us (the visitors ) feel so comfortable in their company on board, and at the same time helped us get to see some of the most exciting scenes on the visited islands that I have ever experienced. Ritchie, Colin, Lindsay, Ashley and Jordan made life so easy and interesting for us, each in such a different way, all experts in their own field. It was the best holiday decision I have made in a very long time. Thanks to your company and to the crew for their hard work. May I wish you and your company every success in the future; you deserve it!

I have to give the weather a dishonourable mention - it tried its best to disrupt our cruise, but as always, the crew onboard the Emma Jane just got on with their tasks and gave us all a memorable cruise ! I think they secretly like the challenges presented !! Some of the unexpected diversions and anchorages were a real treat, bringing the crew and guests together into a big happy group of people, strangers to start with perhaps, but everyone of them were good friends by the end. A great cruise !! I must give the crew their own name checks : Jake - a new member of the Hebrides Cruises family, but already a star, introducing little ‘extras’ when we were in the rib, he obviously put a lot of thought into providing us with the best ! Lynsey - a fabulous wildlife guide, and a fabulous friend if I may claim that honour. Charlie - superb chef, what wonderful meals we were served with, beans on toast at home just doesn’t cut it anymore ???? Jasmin - nothing was ever too much trouble, everything was always in the right place, spotless, and those table designs, amazing ! Perhaps even of more importance than all the obvious skill sets possessed, was the sense of fun, positivity and friendship shown. Marks out of ten for the crew and the cruise ?? Why, 11 of course !! A great big thankyou from me for a great time.
