Brilliant experience, would highly recommend. The crew were very friendly, helpful and attentive. The swim opportunities were lovely and others on the trip used the paddleboards. Lovely crystal blue waters, and closeness to caves made it such a relaxing few hours.

Great trip despite poor weather conditions!

Alex_P, May 2026
Despite it being an incredibly windy and cloudy day, we still had a fun experience thanks to the staff on board! Super friendly, lots of fun and laughs, really chatty and kept our drinks topped up. The captain Dalston was fantastic, knowledgeable, friendly and fun - absolute credit to the team! We loved that it wasn’t a hectic party boat with loads of people, everyone was friendly and it felt more exclusive than some of the boats you see in Malta that have a lot of passengers. There was about 16 people booked on and plenty of room for everyone on board. If the weather wasn’t so awful this would have been the most incredible experience, no fault of the company - just unlucky on the day! Crystal lagoon is so beautiful and the stop at the caves was really nice too. Would come back to experience it on a warm summer day! Thanks for a great trip

Nice alternative to explore the Mediterranean Sea

Rafiq_J, May 2026
Nice boat ride around the Mediterranean Sea and staff was great. And you have opportunities to go in the water. Just note that the temperature varies depending on the months you ago

Truly an amazing experience. A beautifully relaxing day. A total of 9 (paying) people on the catamaran so not crowded at all. I was thinking of going on the bigger boats but they looked too jammed packed. This might be the highlight of my trip so far.

This catamaran tour in Malta was just the right length—very relaxing and enjoyable! The crew was great, and the scenery was beautiful. The water was a bit cool in October for me, but others had no problem jumping in. Highly recommend for a laid-back, scenic experience!

Nice trip

The perfect way to spend an afternoon in Malta

Julie_R, Oct 2025
We had a wonderful time on board. The captain and crew were so attentive, friendly and helpful. There were not too many spaces available on the excursion so it didn't feel crowded at all. We made use of the paddleboards and snorkel equipment provided when we stopped in both the Blue and Crystal Lagoons. So relaxing and peaceful.

A magical day in Malta

Matthew_T, May 2025
A most wonderful afternoon in Malta. Water was cold, BUT on our ride back to dock we had a school of dolphins lead the way. Magical! Kids loved it.

Beautiful and relaxing

Lauren_H, May 2025
100% book this trip. We originally had a larger boat booked (I think upto 100 people) and I’m so happy I saw this one instead before we travelled. The guys were amazing. We anchored at two stops and also went close to a beautiful cave. The water was so beautiful. SUPS were really fun, drinks flowing, tunes on. An amazing morning. Thank you 🥰

Best decision to book this tour!

Nicole_M, Apr 2025
Wow, 5 stars! Captain and crew were so hospitable and kind, offering beverages and checking in on us. Small group experience, so I loved it! we could lounge anywhere on the catamaran. Great views, beautiful boat. Captain found us two nice stops, even though it was windy- we were in love with the crystal clear water and COLOR! Freezing cold plunge— but so invigorating to jump in and swim/snorkel- I swam at both spots! Would definitely say this was very memorable. Very happy with this choice- so glad we chose this tour over others! (Ps- they also answered a question I had the night before via the “contact your operator” option Viator has- which I was appreciate of!
