Hi Emma - Just a quick email to say how much we enjoyed the cruise on Emma Jane. It crops up regularly now in conversation and we have enjoyed looking back over the photos. Claire was a bit worried as she doesn’t travel so well on boats/ships, but apart from one day, coped really well and came away loving the experience. James, Helen, Lynsey and Caroline looked after us so well. We loved the trips ashore, exploring (we couldn’t fault Lynsey’s eternal optimism and enthusiasm on what we might spot!), and then to be met by Helen popping the fizz on our return, with beautiful cake baked by Caroline.....well, enough, you get the picture..really great.

We booked up this cruise over a year in advance as it seemed so popular. When we did it we saw why. It was all and more we had anticipated and that in no small part is down to the fantastic skipper and crew. They treated us more like family than paying guests and did all they could to ensure we had a great time. The islands are beautiful in their own right but with the expert knowledge of the skipper we went to secluded bays and gorgeous beaches and always moored somewhere with amazing views. Thanks To Bella the wildlife guide we saw things we would have missed ourselves and we were treated to sea eagles, porpoises, dolphins and a few minke whales! Sammy fed us like royalty with imaginative and super tasty meals and then there was the daily homemade cakes. Yum. Abbie looked after everything on board even down to different table decorations every night and chocs on the pillow. Will was always polishing or painting and taking us shore in the tender. All in all a brilliant holiday and we have already booked up our next one.
