Our group had the best trip along the south of malta with our Captain Willie providing insight into hidden coves off the beaten path! The boat was excellent with a paddle board and snorkles to explore the cove. Thanks again Captain Willie and sail malta charters for the best day ever!

Chilled sunset cruise
3 Hour – Sunset Cruise on September 29, 20254 adults

Thanks to Cap. Steve for hosting us. After partying all week at a festival, we were looking for something relaxing to do. We booked the sunset cruise and it was exactly what we needed. Steve is passionate about Malta and its history, so we were lucky to have him tell us about the different structures and buildings we could see. Thanks for a wonderful evening
