I phoned to book my tickets and the staff were very helpful and polite. The crew of the "Larven" were very friendly and helpful too. The ferry was really clean and well looked after. I need to come back here once more and will be using them again. A verry good service. 👍 · via Google [Vicky McNulty](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/102363491545950709260/reviews) ★★★★★ Lovely trip and great value for money. We managed to see a few dolphins on the way out to one of the small islands to seal spot (with their little pups who were very cute). The crew were great, is was a nice gesture to be offered a complimentary whiskey shot, a take out option would have been very well received for those of us who needed to drive ;) · via Google [Ada Jeffrey](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/104022222624650289749/reviews) ★★★★★ We had a fantastic trip with Western Isles Cruises from Mallaig to Knoydart last Saturday. The weather was amazing, and the whole experience was really enjoyable. The crew were excellent—friendly, professional, and made us feel very welcome.
