Skipper & crew were attentive & went above & beyond our expectations to enhance our enjoyment of the cruise. Impressed with standard & variety of meals/food, which were delicious & well presented. Like eating at your favourite restaurant every day. Felt we were well catered for as vegetarians. Cleanliness maintained at consistently high standard. Accommodation exceeded expectations. We were pleased with quality & maintenance of cabin & communal space. We enjoyed making use of hot tub & library. We especially appreciated the efforts the skipper & crew made to enable us to get to St Kilda, despite adverse weather conditions. We enjoyed the whole itinerary, both on board, at anchorage, & on shore trips. Made every effort to ensure our comfort & safety getting on & off tender for on shore trips. Cruise was extra special in itself. Nothing else to add.

What a wonderful experience we had on this most enjoyable cruise. Everything was so well organised from the initial contact and information give by Emma, the greeting by the crew, and throughout the six night cruise, we could not have been better looked after. Every aspect of the week was meticulously organised and we could not have asked for more. Although on some days the light wasn't perfect for photography - my main interest - the skipper, Chris, anticipated the best day to visit what was perhaps the highlight of the week, an afternoon on Lunga, where we saw sea birds by the thousands and especially puffins. This and all the other visits ashore, were greatly enhanced by Alexa, our wildlife guide who made the week so much more enjoyable and a great learning experience. Having a slight walking disability, I was particularly grateful for the additional attention and assistance I had, . On board, we were looked after exceptionally well by Mags, our wonderful chef who made certain we were well fed - the food was perfect every day - and by Craig, the bosun who kept everything running smoothly from the catering aspect to the everyday day tasks around the vessel. There were eight guests on board and we all had the same complaint, 6 nights went by far too quickly.
