Overall rating?
The holiday was amazing, trust your skipper was great at sailing the boat but not very good with information about the islands. We would ask him a question
and 90% of the time it was i hate that island, just sit and have a coffee. We had a lot of wasted time waiting. (more)Debra Klein

Memorable parts?

Memorable parts?
Being "on the water" was exhilarating! When the weather was good, it was glorious, and when the weather was stormy, it was exciting.
Tips?
Miminize luggage. Storage space is modest. Layers are necessary. Don't forget the rain gear.
Be flexible. Much of the itinerary is dictated by weather and tides.
The holiday providers office staff are very kind to help with arrangements.
Try to take time before/after the cruise to visit Oban and Tobermory. Lovely towns.

Memorable parts?
I was very happy that we found the puffins rock (Dún Mòr) on Sanday. With another traveller I surrounded the peninsula with the help of a map with only a few details like some walls, the church and the silhouette of the island - no paths! But the puffins were exactly where they had been indicated on the map, and we had a wonderful, long walk. But I also enjoyed the boat trips - plenty of time to watch the sea, the sky, the birds, the seals, even some dolphins...

Memorable parts?
Great scenery and views, superb to see the coast from a boat.

Be aware that although a sailing trip, there is not much sailing.
Local benefits?
No. We motored a lot rather than sailing (due to time constraints and being able to get to places to do things).
Overall rating?
Very good although I was disappointed that there wasn't much sailing. But great way to see the Amalfi coast. I don't think I would do the same trip again or a similar one. (more)Karen Fenton
