Lino our Skipper was excellent

8 Hour – Private Day Trip6 adults

The boat itself was large in size and had everything we needed for an 8hr trip. Lino was knowledgeable and relaxed throughout the trip which meant we were able to relax. The weather was not the best which meant the sea was choppy. Lino had blankets on board (note, bring warm clothing for the travel across the sea. Very windy even if its very sunny). Enjoyable day, only a couple of things I'd change. The cost was a lot without any food or drinks included. I have been on other yachts in other countries that had more to offer regards food and drinks and for less money. We did bring onboard oyr own drinks and snacks. However, Lino was great and it made our day.

    Eh...bare minimum

    8 Hour – Private Day Trip • 2 adults

    Our skipper was competent and made sure everything ran safely, but overall the experience felt quite minimal for the price. Nothing was wrong, but there was very little engagement or guidance. He did not explain where we were, what we might see, or offer any interaction beyond the basics. We had mentioned a few requests before heading out, but they were not really addressed. Considering the high cost of the trip we had expected a bit more in terms of enthusiasm, local insight, or hospitality. The experience was fine, but not at the level we hoped for. I wanted to share this as constructive feedback and I sent it to the owner, Neal, who really did not seem to care. We appreciate the service, but think that a little more attention or interaction from the skipper could make a big difference for future guests. If you want an experience where the skipper gets in the water, tells you where you are going, helps you explore beautiful Malta, I'd look elsewhere. We snorkel around the world frequently and this one came up very short. We even asked to end the tour 3-4 hours early....... never done that before.

    Response from Captain

    Hi Elizabeth, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re genuinely sorry that the experience didn’t meet what you were hoping for. We always do our utmost to make every trip special, comfortable, and tailored to our guests’ wishes. For safety reasons, skippers are required to remain on board at all times, but had we known you wanted a more interactive or in-water experience, we would have gladly arranged an additional crew member for this. For your charter, we were happy to accommodate your specific requests — including changing the pick-up location after the booking, which involved travelling two hours to meet you. Please rest assured that your message was received and appreciated — we do care deeply about every guest’s experience. We wish you all the best on your future travels and thank you again for choosing to sail with us.

    Perfect Day on the Water

    8 Hour – Private Day Trip • 2 adults

    My husband and I came to Malta for our honeymoon, and our one splurge was to charter a boat to see some of Malta’s aquatic wonders. Janko was our captain, and he was informative, friendly, and funny. He brought us to all the spots we wanted to see, and even showed us some hidden gems where we were able to snorkel and paddle board. He prepared us food on the boat for lunch, and gave us information and recommendations for things to do and see while on land as well. We had a 10/10 experience.

    Memory for a lifetime

    8 Hour – Private Day Trip • 7 adults

    We had a fantastic full-day private boat trip with Neal. He was waiting for us right on time at the agreed location, and the boat was spacious, clean, modern, and very comfortable. We cruised through stunning locations with crystal-clear water and stopped in beautiful bays where we could swim. Although the water was still a bit cold in April, the kids enjoyed swimming and even spotted some fish. Neal was a kind and skilled captain — he even cooked us a lovely lunch in one of the bays. Highly recommended!

    Wonderful Day at Sea

    8 Hour – Private Day Trip • 2 adults

    From the beginning to when we disembarked the whole experience was easy with frequent contact from Captain Neal. On the day we were lucky enough to have Sondre from Norway as our Captain. What a superstar! He couldn’t have been nicer and made our day. The barbecue fish was beautiful and we thoroughly enjoyed our lunch. Myself and Mum had a great day and definitely the pinnacle of our time in Malta.

    THE BEST DAY EVER!

    8 Hour – Private Day Trip • 3 adults

    From Neil’s communication to prep for our trip, to Steve’s captain-ship - my cousins and I had the most amazing experience. We will be sharing their information with our family that has yet to come, and we will 100% be back, just for this experience. Thanks for the day, the laughs, the education, the meal, the kindness and the memories! Love, the Malta Marias and Dave
