“Wonderful experience and well worth the money. The crew was fun and professional, and the boat was clean and it great condition. We were served delicious snacks, all you can drink sodas/water/wine/beer, a delicious lunch, and coffee and cake. There’s enough tables for you and your party to sit & eat, side seats with views, and the front of the catamaran had bean bags to lay out and soak up the sun. When we arrived to one of the lagoons, we were taken on a small speed boat through the caves/lagoon; it was a great experience! If you don’t want to be stuck on a boat with a million people…”
Private Malta yacht charter with snorkeling gear, paddle boards, and flexible half-day or evening sailing from Roland Marina.
“We had an amazing boat trip with Sven, kindly arranged by Patrick. Communication was excellent from start to finish, and it was really easy to organise. We could order food or bring our own on board, which made it flexible and personal. The cruise around the harbour was fantastic… Sven shared so much knowledge, and we had plenty of time to enjoy everything without ever feeling rushed. The highlight was the paddle boarding and swim stop at sunset, which was absolutely magical. Overall, a relaxed, personalised experience, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend!”

Fast catamaran to Gozo plus a hop-on hop-off open-top bus. See Victoria and Dwejra Bay, with a smart day plan.
“Likes: quick catamaran trip getting there. Could be improved: - allowing the passengers to choose return time, we were automatically booked for 8.45 pm return and although we queued for an earlier return the availability was not there, even of we had a booking we queued with the people that did not have any tickets. The queue was awful, the organization was not there, there were fights between other passengers… please book your own boat trip - the hop on hop off was not great. It is limited in hours so if you want to return to some attractions there are limited times you can get back to it. There…”
