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.

We loved the cruise. The weather went from bad (day 1-2) to glorious and the wonderful crew (Skipper Charlie, Lynsey, Chef Charlie and Sofia) adapted accordingly, from sheltering in a very protected inlet on the first night to prosecco and homemade cheese straws on a beautiful deserted beach in the sunshine at the end. The scenery is stunning and the wildlife sightings were good for the time of year - dolphins, porpoises, a minke whale, eagles, gannets...Lynsey is a brilliant spotter and very knowledgeable. We enjoyed the walks, which gave us a little insight into each island, and the food was absolutely delicious and beautifully presented. Thank you all for being a great team and for looking after us so well.
