A private charter to remember 💙

Last week a very special group of guests joined us for a bespoke Hebrides Cruises private charter and what a voyage it turned out to be.

From the towering seabird colonies of the Shiant Isles to the wild, remote beauty of Mingulay at the very edge of the Atlantic, via the magnificent isle of Canna and a breathtaking walk out to Uishnish Lighthouse, this was the Hebrides at its most raw and extraordinary.

And then the sea delivered something truly unforgettable…..

Orca. Humpback whale. Dolphins. 🫍🐋🐬

Gifts from the ocean where our guests were fortunate enough to receive all three on a single charter. We never tire of watching faces light up on deck!

This is exactly why we love what we do!

⭐ Guest Feedback ⭐

“We had an absolutely amazing trip on the Emma Jane! We had a really wonderful time exploring some of the islands, looking for wildlife, eating well and being very well looked after by the crew.”

We are delighted to receive such lovely feedback and photos from our recent private charter guests.

Their itinerary included a successful visit to St Kilda despite challenging weather, incredible wildlife encounters, memorable hikes ashore, delicious meals, beach picnics, and special celebrations onboard.

“The Emma Jane is a beautiful ship and the ten of us were very comfortable aboard, in our cabins, the living space and the dining room.”

A huge thank you to Jake, Orsi, Andreas and Poppy for creating such a memorable experience and for going above and beyond for our guests throughout their voyage.

HISTORY MADE ON THE WEST COAST? 🖤

Following up on our incredible encounter just 30 minutes from Oban, we are sharing a short, protected 10-second teaser of our drone footage.

While orcas are known visitors to the Hebrides, we are unaware of any records showing any other pod outwith the West Coast Community not only in these inshore waters, but also hunting common dolphins! To make this sighting even more significant, this pod has a small orca calf with them and you can see them hunting and eating Common Dolphins in the video! 🫍

This footage is invaluable for conservation and identification, and we are working to get this data logged with marine researchers.

UNBELIEVABLE! 🚨 🖤

We are still in absolute shock. In all our years on the water, we have never witnessed anything like this.

Around 4pm we got a message from our head guide Lynsey Bland heading home, who had just spotted a pod of Orca off a Calmac ferry as it was passing Lady Rock.

Just 30 minutes from our departure port near Oban we encountered a pod of 5 orcas. We watched in awe as they hunted common dolphins at incredible speeds, eventually making a successful catch right before our eyes, while continuing the chase. Nature in its rawest, most powerful form. 🫍 💥

Watch this space we have more drone footage to follow 👀

A little opportunity has just opened up… 👀

We have had a last-minute cancellation our 8 night Skye, Small Isles & Shiants cruise, departing 22 June, aboard our vessel Emma Jane.

If you have been dreaming of exploring Scotland’s wild west coast - incredible food, unforgettable wildlife, peaceful anchorages, and life aboard our beautiful vessels — this might be your moment.

A huge thank you to our wonderful private charter guests, Sandy & Nance Tosh, for choosing to cruise with Hebrides Cruises once again. It has been such a pleasure welcoming you back on board over the years, and we are incredibly grateful for your continued support and friendship ⚓️💙

Hearing stories from guests who know and love the West Coast as much as we do always means so much to our crew. Your kind words truly capture everything we strive for at Hebrides Cruises — warm hospitality, unforgettable experiences, great food, comfort, and a crew dedicated to making every voyage special.

“We spent many years sailing our yacht on the west Coast, but age was catching up and the decision was taken to sell her. We felt rather sad and lost but then we found Hebrides Cruises!! Since then we have gone on one of their tours or chartered one of their vessels each year, a total of nine times!! We have thoroughly enjoyed every one. The quality of service is excellent, five star. Accommodation very comfortable, service excellent, and food, to suit all, very well prepared and served.

All crew that we have met over the years have been of the highest standard. The whole ethos is to give their guests the best! We have had the same Skipper on all our trips, who is very experienced, attentive to the comfort and safety of all, and very good company as well. We have had great times with Hebrides Cruises.”

Thank you again Sandy & Nance …. See you next year 😉 ⚓️
