Private Charter 6 Nights

Gary and Joan Machovina

Wow! Absolutely magnificent cruise in every respect. Capt Neil professionally balanced our desired cruise sights with the prevailing weather. His seamanship was superb; he adroitly found quiet anchorages despite a summer storm with 40+ knot winds. We met our goals of visiting distilleries, small towns, a woolen mill and observing wildlife plus took interesting walks through the countryside. Chef Gordon expertly guided us on two walks; to a mussel farm on Loch Spelve, to pick up lobsters in Port Ellen plus a beautiful walk around in Port Appin that included a special visit to the home of Mr and Mrs Gourlay, two very talented artists. Engineer Ray and Bosun Claire were absolutely professional in every respect and a joy to be with. They met our every need and made us feel at home. Chef Gordon was FANTASTIC! His meals were absolutely perfectly prepared and presented. We wish he could prepare Christmas Dinner for our family this year! The Puffin Crew, led by Capt Neil on the Glen Tarsan, worked as a team to ensure that we had a most enjoyable cruise experience.
