In confirmation of our telephone call, we would like to confirm that we had a great time, and our only complaint was that we didn't book more days.

The boat is great, and is much more spacious than bigger sailing yachts. Having an outside dining room made meal times special, and the food was wonderful. Julie made everything herself, even the bread, and never 'bought in' anything, even the pastry was prepared fresh.

Tim had a badly sprained knee and was not as mobile as he would normally be. However, he and Julie compensated by sharing all duties, and neither one of them let this interfere with giving us a good time.

They are a very happy couple, and very into each other. Both were happy and smiling from the time they got up to the time we went to bed, remarkable when you take into account the pain Tim was in.

As you know, my 18 year old son came with us. We thought he would be bored as we tend not to go ashore. He had the time of his life, swimming and snorkling, and Timm taught him to water ski, up to getting onto one ski, and to scuba dive to a depth of 60 feet. His best vacation ever - his words, not ours.

Ann and I were slightly less energetic, but spent a lot of time snorkling and kayaking, and because Tim and Julie own the boat, everything works and is in first class condition. As someone who has owned three boats, from 28' to 43', I hate going on a boat which is not in good order. I have hired boats with berths, with or without crew, on the Broads, Loch Ness, the Shannon, Corfu, Florida and BVI, and can honestly say that McGregor is far the best, and after four tours of the BVI, both the boat and the crew were far better, even though we do not have any complaints about the rest. 

Whether a booking is for two or four adults, or a family with children of any age, this one is the best, and we will be going again next year. We are also interested in a hire in the Med., and would appreciate any information on this, as I have convinced Ann that boating holidays, with a crew, is the best way to go.

Praise also has to go to you. Both of you are well in tune with your Client's needs, and work hard to ensure we have a good time. Thank you.

Andrew and Ann

After an entire week on board, I’m still trying to figure out where the boat elves are stowed! We don’t know how you manage to facilitate, arrange, and take care of everything while getting in the way of nothing! We’ve had the most fun and relaxing trip of our lives, all due to you two. There are many fabulous boats, maybe even one or two as cool as McGregor II, but no way is there a crew like Captain Tim and Julie! Absolutely unbelievable food, Julie and Tim, we can’t thank you enough for all your expertise on toys, diving, beaches and general fun! Can’t wait to come back.
