What a fantastic cruise! Despite not being able to reach St Kilda because of the weather, the skipper (Charlie), who knew the area and islands in great detail, took us to some magical places. Mingulay was our favourite - the beautiful beach was full of seals and we also saw a lot of nesting puffins. Bella (wildlife expert) pointed out the numerous different seabirds, plus porpoise and minky whales and took us for walks most days. We were looked after extremely well by Jasmine (steward) who worked tirelessly to look after us and made sure we had coffees/teas/drinks. And the food was exceptional- Sian is an extremely talented chef. Thank you to the crew who made our holiday so special. Wendy and John

Alasdair was excellent and informed us of his plans and why. We had a bit of a blow on the second and third days. Shelter was planned and then he made a long day to the Shiants which were wonderful. I felt Perry had put a lot of thought into his meals. too much food but not a lot of waste. All 4 crew were excellent. Hannah's enthusiasm and knowledge, Craig's diligence and constant work were great. This cruise was great because the Crewe and passengers all got on well in a gentle manner. The Crewe commented on this. Everyone was interested in the wildlife and I come from Skye so I loved looking at the islands from a different perspective.
