Argyll Cruising - Scottish Cruises - Dunoon

A spectacular 3 nights aboard Splendour with four adults and two kids (4 and 6). Ted was an excellent captain who tailored the program to our preferences, allowing for multiple long walks and early morning kayaks. And Mike was a fantastic chef; we were amazed with what he could produce from that small kitchen. Granted, we got extremely lucky with perfect sunny weather in early May, but even if the conditions weren’t as delightful, it would be a special experience in a stunning part of the world.

My 3 night Magic of Mull cruise on The Splendour was everything I had hoped for and so much more from beginning to end. Argyll Cruising had been recommended to me but this was me very much out of my comfort zone. Ted and Mike are a wonderful pair and at all times would do anything to make your cruise a very special trip. As for the food, well it has to be tasted to be believed. It is excellent! Thank you Mike, you are a magician in the galley.
The chosen itinerary was great for such a short time on the boat and I thoroughly enjoyed learning about the wildlife from Ted.
I will most certainly be booking again.

Almost at the end of our 6 night cruise and I don't want to go home. This company offers a personal service second to none and food that is exceptional. Despite some poor weather, skipper Ted knew just where to take us to make the most of the scenery , to allow us to walk in shelter and to anchor out of the wind.
Thank you Ted and Mike for a wonderful trip! Somehow my review from last year appears again this year!

We came back and it is still 5star. We got to Ailsa Craig on a glorious day and we got lots of photos to show our granddaughter who is called Ailsa. Thank you Mike for the glorious food, now to lose that half stone! Thank you Ted for putting up with me and for taking us to all these special places.

What a great experience! We met some really interesting people, went to out of the way and hard to reach places and we felt the pace and quality of the adventure was just right. The food was only one of many high points but deserves a special mention given the fantastic meals served up by Mike, the Chef, in such a small galley - and always with a smile. Ted was an excellent host as well as a most knowledgeable skipper and wildlife expert. He managed to spot White Tailed Eagles at least once every day for us along with a wide variety of other wildlife. Altogether an even better experience than we'd hoped for and highly recommended.

What a unique and wonderful experience! Spent 6 days aboard Splendour with family and friends exploring wild Argyll. Ted and Mike looked after us superbly and made the cruise such fun. Ted took us to great off the beaten track places and we learnt so much from him about each of the places and the wildlife. Ted was also so good with the lively 3 year old in our party. As for Mike's food - pure and simply delicious. We loved every minute of our time on Splendour.

When describing our cruise with Ted, it’s hard to find a superlative that hasn’t been used a dozen times already!! The experience on board was special and unforgettable. Thomas is a miracle worker in his tiny galley - the meals were as delicious as they looked, and they looked amazing. The use of local ingredients including mussels and langoustines is a credit to Tom and Ted’s respect for their environment. Our 3 nights were a wonderful adventure of stunning scenery and unspoilt nature walks, in comfort and safety, and the concerned attentions of Skipper Ted and Chef Tom. Thank you so much

Had a fantastic 6 day charter as guests of friends on board the Splendour with Captain Ted and Chef Mike. We did the Inlets and Islands of Wild Argyll cruise and what an adventure it was! Usual mix of Scottish weather with sunshine and showers but this added to the experience of walking in some of the remoter parts of Argyll and Bute. Mike’s food was terrific and Captain Ted’s knowledge of these parts was second to none. Both of them could not have been more welcoming. Would thoroughly recommend this unique experience!

Aboard The Splendour is the best way to experience the Scottish Isles. Incredible attention to detail, amazing food, experiences and locations tailored to the interests of the guests. I will be returning to cruise again, soon. Thank you Captain Ted and Chef Mike.
