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.

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!!!

Great day on the boat. Flexible schedule, nice owner couple who know what they are doing. Great and modern ship, with enough space for everyone on board.

We really enjoyed our day out at sea on Mark's sailing boat! Mark was kind enough to take us around different spots in the north, and provided us with a speaker, goggles and paddling board for us to use throughout the day; and was overall ready to help with whatever we needed! We've already set another date in our calendar for another trip :) Thanks again Mark.

We had a great day out with Tony, our captain. He was super experienced and easy to talk to — we really enjoyed sharing stories with him. The trip itself was amazing, and we got to swim at four different spots. We ended up extending by two hours, which made a big difference. We even got to sail a bit at the end, which was a real highlight. Booking was easy too — Neal was quick to answer all our questions. We’d definitely do it again!

We were a group of 6 and had a great day out! Plenty of room to move around and the boat was in great condition! The communication was smooth and it was easy for us to find the boat. I would highly recommend booking with Neal!

In Malta, a Nautical Licence is required for persons operating a vessel with power of over 30hp. And for sailors coming from the UK, you will need meet several requirements here:

  • You must be 18 years or older
  • A valid identity document must be produced i.e. passport or driving licence
  • Alcohol and smoking are not permitted on the boats
  • You must undergo a brief training session before leasing the vessel
