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.

Dear Emma - Please pass on our thanks to the wonderful crew of Emma Jane - Ritchie, Lynsey, Ashleigh and Pea. Andy and I had a fantastic week cruising around Mull, Iona, Staffa and the Tresnish Isles. The wildlife sightings, views, sunsets and beach walks were outstanding. We learned so much from Lynsey our wildlife guide, and all the crew who were so enthusiastic and knowledgable. Food was terrific. We enjoyed Pea’s breakfast healthy options as well as the best of Scotland’s fish, beef and cheese. We have already booked a place on Emma Jane for next year! Many thanks to you and all the team at Hebrides Cruises!
