"The combination of great company, excellent food, focused instruction and good weather meant that this holiday lived up to the highest of expectations. Sue and Stuart were brilliant with our children, including our daughter who has special needs, making this a relatively stress free family holiday. High points included visiting Gylen Castle, sailing up the Sound of Mull in a fair wind, seeing an otter and abseiling on Kerrera. Esseness is a very comfortable yacht - big cockpit and saloon and comfortable cabins - not much need for roughing it. This holiday showed us Scotland from a completely new perspective - fantastic views which can't be had from the land. Thanks again for a great holiday. We hope to see you again in future."

"A fantastic weeks holiday to celebrate our honeymoon, perfect sailing topped off by the successful conquering of the Inn Pinn. Sue/Stu have been fantastic hosts/instructors and we'll be recommending Sails and Summits to all our adventurous friends. Thanks for a brilliant week and hope to see you again soon."
