We had an amazing week on the Elizabeth G following the sun. Thanks to our skilled skipper Chris who would change plans and re-route us at a moments notice to ensure that we got the best out of our time on board and ashore. Lauren our guide was continually on hand spotting wildlife, educating us and instructing the Skipper to turn the boat on a sixpence, if required, to ensure everyone had the best view. We were rewarded with white tailed sea eagles, porpoise, common dolphin and numerous sea birds including puffin. Whilst ashore we saw otters, a heronry and red deer parading on the peaks. Craig our amusing steward demonstrated his artistry each evening with the menu board and serviette folding. He looked after our every need, wearing many different hats and jackets throughout the day to ensure the Elizabeth G was safe, clean and comfortable for guests. Our Chef Sally was awesome. A master with flavours, menus and working in a very confined space. 3 course breakfasts to set us up for the day, delicious and varied lunches, baked items for our return in the afternoon and amazing 4 course evening meals. How she managed to produce such brilliant food from a phone box is a mystery. Our crew were friendly, professional and skilled. There was a great atmosphere on board amongst crew and fellow passengers. We felt safe and relaxed as the crew worked to ensure that we each had a great holiday experience.

Amazing time! The crew went the extra mile, despite indifferent weather. Sightings of dolphins (one pod of over 200 !), whales, porpoise, golden and white tailed eagles, otters...... and so much more!. Amazing waterfalls and coastlines, tranquil bays for calm night’s sleep after wonderful food and excellent wine.... topped off by good company and excellent guiding.
