Emma is always available to assist with any questions and keeps in touch if problems arise. Breath taking views, lovely moorings and Rob always new where to moor for the night in the best locations. Knowledge of all things wildlife, by Lynsey was exceptional. My cruise was extra special, nothing could have improved it. Go ahead, don't delay. Choose where you want to go and book!

Not only were the dishes healthy and delicious, but they were also beautifully presented, showcasing the cook's artistic talents. Finally, and not any less significant, was the boat swain's excellent customer service, always attentive to our needs and ensuring our comfort throughout the journey.

The shared adventures and delicious meals fostered a sense of closeness and allowed for meaningful connections to be formed. We gathered each day to recount our sightings of birds and sea life, engaging in storytelling and discussion. This combination of shared experiences and diverse perspectives, with travelers from different
