What an amazing experience. It's rare to have an experience go flawless from start to finish, but this was fantastic. First of off, I want to express our thanks to the skipper Nando. A friendly, knowledgeable captain that has is very fun to be around. He has a great mix of knowledge, personality and a sense of when to know to give the feel of privacy like it's your very own boat. That's a skill that's hard to learn. Secondly, the booking process was seamless and efficient. Keith is very quick to answer messages and provides the perfect amount of information in order to have you feel confident that you can experience this pleasure without having to worry about the details. We will be coming back looking to repeat this experience next summer and we certainly hope that we can get Naldo again.

​Our time aboard was simply fantastic. Our skipper, Lino, truly made the day special. He was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and hospitable from the moment we stepped on board. The food was absolutely amazing. A highlight of the trip was his incredible special sauce for the steak! Most importantly, Lino is an exceptionally skilled sailor. He navigated with such expertise that the ride was remarkably smooth, keeping the boat incredibly stable with minimal rocking. This made relaxing on the water an absolute joy. I highly recommend Lino!!

I booked a boat with Kurt for a Bachelor and Bachelorette celebration. Although I wasn't able to attend myself, all of my friends had an amazing day out on the boat and spoke very highly of the experience. From the moment we started planning, Kurt was excellent to deal with. He was responsive, helpful, and quick to answer every query I had leading up to the trip, making the booking process smooth and stress-free. Based on both my experience organizing the event and the fantastic feedback from everyone who attended, I would highly recommend Kurt to anyone looking to organize a group celebration or day out at sea in Malta.

We really loved our sail with Steve! First of all he is a great captain! Secondly, great entertainer! He told us a lot about history of Malta, explained how the boat works prepared great pasta! All of the above in one amazing person! He took us to popular spots, but he also showed us gem of bays that had no people there it was one of the best days in a long time for us. Everyone was in awe that day! Totally recommend!!!

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.
