We had a great time with this company. The boat is big, nice and clean and they allow a limited number of passengers onboard so that there is plenty of free space. Really enjoyed the two stops in Gozo and also the stop in Blue lagoon. Very nice and quiet place in May. On the way back the captain took us to the caves which are really amazing. Will definitely go again!!!

Our charters which are fully exclusive normally run for 9 hours from 09:00 to 18:00. We typically sail to the north of the island whereby we would be able to sail past St. Paul's Islands and reach Comino to visit a number of bays there for swimming and snorkelling as well as interesting landscapes including the Blue Lagoon and Crystal lagoon. Furthermore, our skippers would also be able to provide you with suggestions on the day based on your preferences and will make sure to make this day one to remember. We can offer a set of pre-prepared buffet style meals and a set of BBQ menu options which are freshly cooked on-board by our skippers. Should customers like to bring your own provisions, you are welcome to bring with you any provisions which would be pre-prepared and would not require any cooking onboard. Yacht is equipped with a fridge and all the cutlery, cups, plates etc. therefore you need not bring any of these with you.

Me and my fiance had to postpone our wedding due to Covid and somehow we still wanted to have a night to remember.. I've contacted David for a sunset private charter and from the very beginning he has been really kind, detailed and helpful! He offered us a Dufour Grand Large which is a really wonderful boat and a skipper to assist us throughout who was really nice with us and knowledgable! After sailing around some of our beautiful island's amazing spots, he then anchored us at Kalkara for a superb delicious bbq made with fresh food. We've enjoyed our dinner with amazing night views! To summarize it all, David and his team managed to give us an unforgettable night! We highly recommend Sailing Charters Malta to anyone looking for that special and wonderful charter. Thankyou so much Sailing Charter Malta, you've totally nailed it!

An excellent day trip. Mindaugas picked us up on time and started our tour. We had a walking tour first then continued looking at the sights. We had lunch on the roof top of a restaurant with fantastic views. We found Mindaugas a professional and excellent guide. Well worth doing.

This is a very high value tour for the money! We did the comino and Gozo tour. They organized a transfer to pick us up in Valletta at a great price (5 euro per person), the actual boat was great and had very cheap drinks and food. Do the Gozo minibus tour (5 euro extra cash paid on the boat, they take you to Victoria and to an amazing location on the coast where the arch used to be before it collapsed. Also do the speedboat tour with Tony (10 euro paid in cash on the boat), he takes you inside caves and it’s so fun!

We had a fantastic day onboard this boat. The ticket seller Azmi helped us and explained everything clearly. We had two stops in Comino one in Crystal lagoon and another in Blue lagoon. Really enjoyed the slide!! We had plenty of space as due to Covid they accept a limited number of passengers. We will recommend this company and definitely will do it again!! So just go for it!!

My experience was terrible. Buses are all super old and broke. Doesn’t have audio at all, so you pass by places and don’t even know what you’re seeing. Bus drivers are not even a little bit polite, doesn’t use microfone to inform stuff and I even had the “unluck” of waiting to hop on and the bus driver just passed by me, making me wait for another 45 minutes for the next bus. Really a waste of money.
