The best way to spend a day in Malta
E6465FMlaurenm,Apr 28, 2026
- Review from Tripadvisor
5.00We had an absolutely unforgettable day on the water with Captain Raymond. From the moment we stepped aboard, his warmth, professionalism, and genuine passion for what he does stood out. He went above and beyond to make sure everyone in our group felt comfortable and cared for—even thoughtfully providing seasickness bands when I started to feel unwell. What made the experience truly special was how he shared Malta through his eyes. He guided us to stunning, quieter spots away from the crowds and brought each place to life with stories from his childhood growing up in Malta. It felt personal, authentic, and incredibly memorable. Captain Raymond’s skill and experience are clear in every detail, and his friendly, accommodating nature made the entire day effortless and enjoyable. If you’re visiting Malta, this is without a doubt one of the best ways to spend your time. Highly, highly recommended.

5.00What an amazing day sailing in the Mediterranean around the Island of Malta. We sailed to st. Peters Pool a beautiful spot to swim and Raymond served us a delicious lunch. Seeing Malta from the yacht with Raymond telling about the history was very special. A wonderful way to spend a day.

5.00My wife and I were in Malta for our anniversary, and our day out on the water with Captain Ray was by far the highlight of our stay. Born and raised in Malta, Ray knows every detail about the history of the island and has great insight on the cultural shifts that have taken place over the past 50 years or so, including interesting facts about the evolution of the Maltese language. He took us to beautiful spots, away from the heavy traffic areas, to waters that were perfect for swimming and snorkeling. The boat was immaculate, and we felt right as home... Ray is a very professional sailor, and we felt completely safe onboard as well. Best of all, Ray is a good person who's fun to be around. He had great stories, and he went out of his way to provide us with the best experience possible... He even reached out to us beforehand to advise us on the weather, as to ensure we were fully prepared for our day at sea. We'll certainly be back for more adventures with Captain Ray.

Emerald of Valletta

5.00I’ve been on many boat days in my life, but this one with Captain Ray was hands down the best! From start to finish, everything was absolutely amazing. Ray is not only a highly skilled and experienced captain, but also incredibly hospitable, kind-hearted, and fun to be around. He made everyone feel welcome and at ease, while also ensuring our safety the entire time. You can tell right away that he’s trustworthy and knows exactly what he’s doing. This was the best water I have ever been in. The places we went to were phenomenal. The whole experience was unforgettable, and I can’t recommend him & the Emerald of Valletta enough—if you’re looking for the perfect boat day, Captain Ray is the one to book!

5.00We had a fantastic day on the water with Ray and the Emerald of Valletta. The yacht was in immaculate condition and Ray is a very experienced sailor who inspired confidence. It was a shame the wind was low so we couldn’t get the sails up. Also, very good value compared to other full boat charters.

5.00Thank You for an Amazing Trip on the Emerald of Valletta We had a truly wonderful experience on the Emerald of Valletta during the day trip to Gozo and Comino on June 28th. The entire journey was smooth, enjoyable, and filled with beautiful views of Malta’s coastline. A special thank you to Captain Raymond for his impressive skills at the helm and for being so open and engaging. He patiently answered all our questions — not only about boats and navigation but also about life in Malta, making the trip even more memorable and personal. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a relaxing and insightful sea adventure around Malta!

A fantastic memorable day out

5.00We had a great day out. The yacht is beautiful, the skipper is local, very knowledgable and we were at ease with him throughout the day. He was flexible to do whatever we wanted to do during the day … we went down the coast, lunch on board, swimming in a number of bays and a cruise around Valletta harbour on our way back. Highly recommended and we would definitely go again.
