Half Day Itinerary Itinerary – In a 4 hour half day charter, there are a few options to experience. • Journey to a nearby bay and enjoy the 4 hours unwinding on a yacht. We usually go south to Hoffriet, or north to Fra Ben, St Pauls Islands or to maximise time, closer to Balluta bay. • Sail for 4 hours enjoying the adventure and getting a chance to take control of the wheel and explore the full sailing experience. • Enjoy a short sail for an hour or two and then combine this with a harbour tour of the Grand Harbour at night. Quite spectacular and magical. Your itinerary can be discussed on the day with your skipper. Please note that Comino is not an option on a 4 hour trip and only an option on a full day charter. Food and drink is also not provided as part of the charter but you are always welcome to get your own on board.

We 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.

Beautiful 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!

A 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!

We were so well looked after by Patrick and Pia , such a lovely couple! The boat was clean and spacious, the food good and Patrick never tired of explaining to us everything to do with navigation. Thank you we will definitely come again!

An 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.

A 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!

A lovely day out with friends! The catamaran was spacious, comfortable and clean. Plenty of room to sunbathe, or sit around and chat, while enjoying the beautiful coastal views. The organisation was perfect - big thanks to Patrick and Pia who were amazing!
