I would like to say what a fantastic trip we had. James is such a kind and considerate skipper, going out of his way to make sure all the guests were happy, as were all the crew. The Proud seahorse is a beautiful ship, comfortable and so nicely fitted out and so pleased you left the hot tub on deck. Congratulations on your new ship.
We sailed on The Proud Seahorse's maiden voyage around Skye and the small isles. What a lovely boat, beautifully fitted out and so comfortable. After being welcomed aboard with champagne and canapés we were introduced to the crew, their first time together. No hiccups, everything went smoothly.
Our charming skipper James,very experienced and knowledgable watching the weather for our comfort aided by Maddy who never stopped making sure we were all cared for.
Freshly made bread, cakes or biscuits each day with delicious meals prepared by chef Peter. Taken ashore by Nigel our wild life expert for the week who went the extra mile literally, looking for Puffins on Canna.
All the guests really had a super time and to crown it all off a soak in the hot tub! (Not all at once might I add). Wonderful.

All superb. Chris even took us to my favourite anchorage on Rona and loitered where I had once seen an eagle’s nest. My special wish was to see the Summer Isles after first looking down on them in 1974! They were as magical as I had thought they must be. Each day was organized to make the very best of what the islands can offer. Private facilities are very good, and I love “Sea Kelp” toiletries. I really appreciated the new seating forward which was really comfortable. The crew all seemed to be very happy in their roles which made me feel comfortable with them. Hannah’s enthusiasm was infectious. Don’t hang about, just BOOK if you can find a space.
