We followed the advice of our Skipper, Graziella and we went to places that had amazingly clear waters and no other boats. We felt we were given an unique experience.

Evgheni was super helpful and responsive when arranging the booking itself and our captain for the day, Graziella, was incredible. The sea was quite rough on the way out and she kept one eye on the sea and another on the group of 8 people, socialising and also looking after one of our group who felt quite sick, like it was easy. The combination of knowledge, skill and genuine care made it such an unforgettable experience. Thanks so much to both of them for helping to make my 30th birthday a celebration

We had a great time with Captain Ben (a legend!). The catamaran was spacious and modern. The bbq was decent and the blue lagoon was unreal! Charlie let us change dates at the last minute and was very attentive. Overall a perfect day.

We had a brilliant experience on our boat trip to celebrate the anniversary of my Dad’s birthday. Grace was our skipper and she was a total joy. Took us to some beautiful places, looked after my Mum especially and always felt like we were in safe hands. It was a very special day.

We had a fabulous day out with Peter. We actually booked very last min (8.30pm the night before). Peter was very accommodating of this and was very fast with responses. As for the day, Peter was very knowledgeable his boat is amazing! He took us to all the places we wanted and a few extra stops he recommended. Plenty of time at each stop, we were able to have our own music and private time. I would recommend Peter to anyone and would definitely do this again if I returned to Malta. Thank you Peter!!

Sergio was kind, accommodating and catered to our every need. He let us do our own thing on the boat and made us feel comfortable! We had lots of swim stops and he gave us plenty of time at each place. The boat was really nice and clean. Would not hesitate to recommend a boat trip with Sergio to anyone! Would definitely do it again. Thanks Sergio!!
