Step aboard our Private Cabin Cruiser – Santa Monica, a Larson Cabrio 310 motor yacht brought back to life in 2023. Departing from scenic Msida, this sleek and spacious cruiser is perfect for up to eight guests looking to enjoy the Maltese coast in style. Powered by twin 231 HP Volvo Penta diesel engines, she cruises smoothly at up to 26 knots.

Captained by the experienced and friendly Neal Bartolo, your day on the water can be anything you want it to be—whether it's a lively booze cruise, relaxing yacht tour, island-hopping adventure, or snorkeling and diving escape.

Enjoy all the comforts of home with a fully equipped kitchen, refrigerator, one head/toilet, air conditioning, and an immersive sound system with indoor and outdoor speakers. Lounge on the bow or aft sundeck, take a dip from the bathing platform, or unwind under the bimini.

Customize your trip with optional add-ons like drinks, lunch, snorkeling gear, or a paddleboard. All guests are welcome—kids included! Bring your favorite drinks (yes, even red wine and glass bottles), and feel free to swim or smoke onboard.

Safety is a top priority: the boat includes GPS, VHF radio, life jackets, an anchor, depth finder, and wheel steering.

Your perfect day on the water starts here. Book now and create unforgettable memories with Capt. Neal!

4 Hour – AM Escape to Comino Island

The best way to visit Comino and surrounding Islands

VERIFIED

We booked with Neal because of the reviews we had read and we’re so glad we did. Everything was perfect. The boat size was bigger than we expected with a generous sized cabin. It was well maintained, clean and very comfy seating. Our fabulous captain - I can’t remember his name (sorry) but he was from Norway, was so professional. Everything about the boat, safety and requirements was well explained before we headed out. He was extremely knowledgeable about Malta and pointed out sights along the way. He ensured that our trip was designed around us and knew the best spots to go, especially when things became busy with other boating tourists. We couldn’t have been more happy with his service and our day out. Thank you for a great day. We highly recommend booking Neal and his team!

Captain Neal was so prompt at replying to our request for a private 3 person boat tour to celebrate my mother's 88th birthday, and decided to upgrade us to his 43ft sailing yacht for the same price. We had such a great time and my mother was thrilled. Thank you Neal

What a cracker

Excellent skipper, informative 7hr tour up to Comio and Gozo. Relaxing, 4-5 swim stops and a fresh fish pasta lunch washed down with some Malta white wine. Highly recommend for those wanting to explore Malta from the coast as a small group
