From the first contact to the final farewell, this couldn't have been a better experience. This particular cruise was perfect for me as a novice cruiser who suffers from sea-sickness! I'm now a convert.... six days was enough for my first trip but I'd be delighted to go for longer with Hebrides Cruises now. We were very lucky with the weather - only a day and a half of rain - and the sea was calm. The staff on land and the crew on board looked after us so well. The wildlife guide had an exceptional wealth of knowledge, the bosun could turn his hand to anything from origami napkins to cleaning the anchor chain, the cook should offer master classes in haute cuisine in a tiny galley and the skipper took decisions based on the conditions so that we had the best chance of seeing wildlife. All were professional and considerate, and relaxed. While the space on board is 'compact', it is a charming vessel with everything provided. I can't recommend this cruise highly enough!

Fellow guests have already expressed how you looked after us so wonderfully on a recent charter on Emma Jane but you all did such a good job you deserve all the praise we can give you! Please know how much all your hard work, friendliness and expertise was appreciated by us all As a repeat guest I knew my friends were in for a treat sailing on one of your lovely vessels and we weren’t disappointed as the holiday exceeded even my expectations. Thanks to Rob for guiding us safely through the weather, Zoe for her enthusiasm and knowledge, Sofia for pampering us ( and amazing table decorations) and last , but definitely not least , Nicola for her truly delicious gastronomic delights. To all the crew , Rob, Zoe , Sofia and Nicola , you made our holiday extra special and as we said our goodbyes it was like leaving friends behind rather than hosts! Well done Hebrides Cruises and full marks for yet another fabulous trip .
