Private Yacht Charter - Malta, Comino, Gozo
We could not have asked for a better day on a boat. We saw some amazing things and were able to swim and paddle board. The crew was fantastic and took us to a quaint little on shore restaurant via rubber boat. It was a wonderful experience and I would highly recommend them.

10/10 highly recommend. Paul is an excellent captain with a great attitude and a ton of knowledge to share about Malta. The boat was better than pictured. Everything beat expectations. Fantastic!

Private Day Charter on Amazing Mowgli a 45FT Elan Impression
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We had the most incredible day aboard the Mowgli with Graziella as our skipper! The whole experience was the perfect blend of relaxation, sunshine, and a touch of Maltese history. Graziella was there to guide and support us at every step, and her warmth and authenticity made it feel like we were sailing with a friend. We truly connected with her and got a deeper insight into the local way of life in Malta. The boat itself was beautiful and well-kept, but what made the trip unforgettable was Graziella. She’s not only an exceptional skipper — she’s also the only female skipper at the Valletta Marina, which made the experience even more special and inspiring. Highly recommend this experience to anyone looking for a meaningful, fun, and unforgettable day on the water. Thank you, Graziella — you’re a gem!

Self-Drive Rib 21ft Master 630 - KIERAN - Msida Marina Pieta Quay
Super easy to park, meet Justin at the boat, get the instructions, and leave the harbor. For those used to v-hull fiberglass boats this one is much lighter and goes over, not through waves. About 10 minutes in open water to get used to the lighter boat and off we went to see the beautiful sights, anchor and swim at different spots, and thoroughly enjoy the day.

Private Day Trip - Air-Conditioned Cabin Cruiser - Fun, Stylish, Comfortable
Highly recommend Neal and his boat for a day out in Malta. the boat was awesome, very clean and comfortable. Neal was 1st class from the moment i booked and ensured we had a fantastic day and took us to all the must see spots and more. plenty of time for swimming and just taking in the surrounds. We arranged with Neal for him to make us lunch as well as a Charcuterie board of fruits, meats, cheese , biscuits and dips. Ask Neal before your day out what you may require and he is more than accommodating and very reasonable pricing to add drinks and catering. we ended up with a group of 5 on board but you could comfortably fit more.
