The small ship is more Monaco than Mallaig. You'll enjoy Eggs Benedict before seeing otters and Scotch beef after whale sightings
and orcas too. There is so much food around for our ‘beasties’ – they’re everywhere,” enthuses James. The sun glints off the gentle swell, across eyes that have been scanning these waters since his pioneering father Richard set up Sea Life Surveys in the 1980s. “My dad devoted his life to marine mammals and I inherited that passion.
Life aboard is a joy. There are eggs Benedict for breakfast and bright, flavour-packed salads for lunch, topped up with the ritual of afternoon tea, the latter sublime on a Hebridean beach. Dinner is the highlight with lobster-sized langoustines and perfectly cooked Scotch beef alongside Sam’s Asia-inspired dishes. Hardwoods and original art abound on this former owner’s yacht. It’s more Monaco than Mallaig, but crucially – as James says – “takes these waters very well”.
And Nirvana for birders. As well as those hulking sea eagles we encounter both Arctic and great skuas, diving gannets, gliding Manx shearwaters and sleek storm petrels. Despite Indy’s knowledgeable efforts I still cannot always tell the difference between a shag and a cormorant, but it’s impossible not to get caught up in the excitement of Phil and Ann, enthusiastic birder guests.
