Self-Drive Rib 21ft Master 630 - KIERAN - Msida Marina Pieta Quay
The Master boat was ideal for touring Malta. Leaving Valletta at 9 am we were able to beat the crowds at the Blue Lagoon and had a wonderful day. Justin’s suggestion for lunch at Gozo was one of our favorite while in Malta. Easy and efficient to prepare the paperwork and orient us to the boat and Justin was ready to upon our return. Very simple and no issues.

Neal was a superb captain. Engaging, knowledgeable and worked super hard to make our experience the best it could be. Flawless comms meant that we were advised of poor weather and negotiated moving the booking with ease. He helped us set up on the boat, confirmed what we wanted to do for the day and then just became one of the party for the day. He joined in conversations, explained about the history and geography of Malta and constantly ensured we were all okay. He gave us time to swim, time to sightsee and took us into the Harbour which was a highlight for me. He had excellent facilities including music speakers and the boat was very new looking and spotlessly clean. I am already talking to him about a future booking and I would not hesitate recommending him to anyone who wants to take a boat out in or around Malta. He was also amendable to direct messaging about the length of booking so I would urge anyone who wants to look into a booking to reach out to him and discuss options. He has some cool ideas about where to go in a day (or overnight) so it's worth engaging with him and finding out what's possible. Very very very good Captain!

Full or Half Day Tour - Bluline21 OPEN Speedboat
We had an amazing trip with Charles and with his brand-new boat. Besides the well-known spots like Blue-Lagoon, Charles recommended some charming hidden gems with almost zero tourists where we could peacefully explore the underwater world with the snorkel equipments. We also drove to a unique cave where we could swim into. He was very kind, flexible and smooth during the trip, and he is surely a well experienced skipper as well. Definitely worth it!

Your Ultimate Voyage of Luxury and Discovery in Palermo's Waters
This boat trip was the absolute highlight of our trip to Sicily with our group of 22 friends! The scenery and the looks of the boat were unbelievable. Captain Roberto and his friend were very great to have on board with us, as they kindly provided music, a lot of drinks and snacks and most of all a great ambiance. After an unforgettable boat party in the bay of Mondello, they took an extra detour to show us the beautiful Sicilian sunset. Would surely recommend!

Your Ultimate Voyage of Luxury and Discovery in Palermo's Waters
We were trying to look for a boat last minute in Palermo because it was a beautiful day and the host was able to arrange everything on short notice. Everything was beyond our expectation and the boat had paddle boards which was great! I highly recommend this boat
