Perfect Day

5.00We had an amazing half day boating adventure with Patrick and Heloise. Patrick curated a wonderful tour of coves, caves and swimming around the south of the island. In addition, he generously added a harbor tour sharing historical facts and his deep knowledge of the area. Heloise was the perfect first mate who made certain that we were comfortable for our tour. We also appreciated the pristine condition of the boat and Patrick’s flexibility and their warm hospitality. Would highly recommend.
A perfect day!

5.00Beautiful boat and excellent captain Patrick along with crew Heloise. Both were so professional and engaging! Patrick’s narrative and agenda were tailored to the interests of our group, beyond Instagram hotspots. He provided fascinating insight on Malta, touching on history, politics and the Maltese character…showed us grand vistas and secret coves …took us on a tender into a water cave that we had all to ourselves …then Heloise took us on a shore excursion walking on smooth rocks alongside glittering salt pans. The boat was pristine, the water was sparkling and it was a perfect day!
Wonderful evening on a lovely catamaran

5.00A lovely serene May evening in the South of Malta against a backdrop of beautiful white cliffs with a window in the rocks into the next bay. We were blessed with a beautiful sunset which we enjoyed on the way back. We very much enjoyed the experience on the spacious well kept catamaran and the magnificent Grand Harbour cruise at the end was the cherry on the already scrumptious cake!
A lovely outing

5.00An amazing day with friends sailing to the south of the island, mooring in a beautiful bay with opportunities to swim and enjoying excellent food. Our skipper, Patrick, was friendly, highly skilled and professional. We concluded with a night time tour of the harbours with spectacular views of the bastions of Valletta and surrounding cities. We highly recommend this tour.
Again please ☺️

5.00A fabulous day on an amazing catamaran. Very spacious and comfortable. Lots of seating and deck space. Excellent amenities with everything you might need, right down to a good espresso! Perfect weather with a light breeze. Ladder for ease of getting off/on the boat for a swim. Paddle board and a hammock too. The beautiful day turned into a tranquil night tour of Valletta Harbour, stunning! An awesome outing and a most relaxing and happy day with friends!
