Unprofessional and threatening boat owner

8 Hour – Private Day Trip8 adults

The captain was kind and did his job well, but the boat owner completely ruined the experience. We paid for food that was never provided, and when I refused to pay for it, the owner arrived furious and threatening, making us feel unsafe. On top of that, pickup was changed last minute from Sliema to Valletta, costing us extra in taxi fares. Totally unprofessional and not recommended at all.

Response from Captain

Hi Cristian, We’re very sorry to read your comments, as this description does not reflect how we operate or treat our guests. We always strive to provide a safe, enjoyable, and respectful experience for everyone on board. Regarding the food, it was booked in writing the night before your trip and was prepared as requested. The skipper offered the food on board, but you chose to refuse it. The change in pick-up location was communicated in advance and was due to port restrictions beyond our control — we did everything possible to ensure your trip could still proceed smoothly. At no point was anyone threatened or treated disrespectfully. We take such claims very seriously and are disappointed by this misrepresentation of events.

    Great day

    8 Hour – Private Day Trip2 adults

    We had a great day out for my wife’s 60th birthday. The skipper was very friendly and knowledgeable about the area. Our fresh fish BBQ lunch was delicious. As there were only 3 of us on board there was plenty of room & the swimming stops were terrific.

    We enjoyed the boat trip very much. The captain was very friendly and gave all the options of where to go. We very much enjoyed the lagoon and tour of Malta as well as the nice catering. Definitly will recommend it to otters.

    Fun Day Out!

    8 Hour – Private Day Trip8 adults

    My family and I had a lovely time out at sea although we were unfortunately not blessed with good wind conditions. Instead of going north to towards Comino, we headed south. Still, it was a lovely time spent out on the waters - we had a delicious meal prepared by our captain, steak & fish were so good - BUT i honestly wouldnt say it was worth the 34€ add on per head. You get a really good meal in a restaurant for that price & all we had was 1 protein each & a salad. Nonetheless, overall verdict is - awesome trip, would highly recommend!
