Here are a few of the lovely things some of our past customers have said about our boat trips.
Just return from a short stay in Craobh haven , a place of peace , tranquillity and beauty. Before returning we went on a trip on the Jenny Wren with captain Barry . I am glad we did as it added a new dimension to a short breakaway . Hospitality and local knowledge from Barry was outstanding and appreciated. The trip was to include seeing amazing views of Jura , Mull , Scarba ,and the Corryvreckan up close. Amazing is the only way to describe it.The wild life on the trip was scarce due to the time of year , however we managed to see the odd seal , deer ,black goats and sea eagle on the isles. Looking forward to a repeat trip next year . Thanks Barry .

I would just like to add my voice to the throng of those already on the site.
Last year, I had a most amazing time on the West Coast of Scotland, and 2 of the highlights were a day in the Corrie Cook School, and a trip on the Jenny Wren.
It was an amazing late afternoon boat trip to celebrate a special Birthday. The Skipper of the boat, Barry, was fabulous, informative, friendly and knowledgeable. Pointing out the Sea Eagles, a stag on the cliff top, seals and was amazing at guiding us through the whirlpools. We had a chance to stop in a little cove watching the seals and having a birthday tea and thanks to Joan for the lovely spread and the bubbly.
On the way back we had a couple of small pods of dolphins and bless Barry, he let us have a couple of turns around the bay just to see them over and over.
We got back to the marina just as the sunset gave us a fabulous show, and I have to say that it was one of the most magical and memorable days of my life. So I just want to say, thank you to Joan and Barry, I can't wait to come back and do it all again.

Well, where would you start. We were enjoying our hols in Oban visiting friends, who had organised a trip out on the Jenny Wren as a surprise for my wifes 50th Birthday. The trip couldn't have started on a better note, blue skies, little cloud and no wind to talk of. We boarded, along with hosts Barry and Joan, and our great friend Julie. We set off out of Craobh marina and headed towards the islands. The trip was amazing, and about to get very exciting as we headed to the Corryvreckan whirlpools ( reliably informed that these are amongst the largest natural whirlpools in the world !! ). Barry skillfully maneuvred the Jenny Wren through the whirlpools, which were stunning, before turning back towards mainland when we moved around the coastline of one of the islands. We anchored in clear blue waters, with glorious sunshine and then enjoyed a champagne lunch, watched in envy by seals and in the distance we could see the resident Sea Eagle. After lunch, it was time to head back with an option for some adrenaline action, and boy did Barry deliver. I got some fabulous photos of my Wife thoroughly enjoying the trip, and could think of no better way to help her celebrate her birthday.
Thank you for everything Barry, Joan and Julie.
