Highly recommend this trip and doing a private tour. Our skipper Habib was fantastic, really nice person and totally accomodated tailoring to our needs. The boat was perfect and more than enough space for 4 of us. The locations were superb and going at 8.30am was perfect timing as the stop offs were not overcrowded. We thoroughly enjoyed the trip and was the highlight of our holiday

This was probably our favorite day of our trip! My family (with teen daughters ages 16 and 15) spent the day with Adin who was so nice and fun! He took us to several swimming areas where the water was crystal clear and beautiful. He had floats and noodles on the boat for us. The day was spectacular and we definitely recommend this!

Better Time Investment than an Entire Day in Valletta

Graham_W, Jun 2026
Fantastic experience. Traveled all around the island for 3 hours, swimming in lagoons and caves, seeing sites from the movie The Count of Monte Cristo. The team reached out a day before and helped coordinate a transfer from the cruise port out to the boat slip and gave some solid local recommendations on places to visit. Grabbed a quick grab and go sandwich before boarding and then had an absolute blast on the boat. Had our driver drop us in downtown Valletta afterwards, walked around for an hour and a half, which only reinforced doing this tour instead of hanging out downtown for the whole day. Don't get me wrong, the village is super cool, but a bit touristy, and I'd take this private boat tour over that for 5 hours all day long and twice on Sunday.

Beautiful place

Rocio_F, Jun 2026
Was very personalized tour, very happy. I did afternoon and was perfect time and was not that busy, so we got a chance to swimm

Amazing

Susan_T, May 2026
Justin was an AMAZING skipper and made sure he took us to all the secluded areas. I truly his kindness and attention to detail throughout our excursion.

A great way to see Malta’s beautiful coastline

Awesome Day!

Samantha_M, Sep 2025
This was an awesome tour. Our skipper was Pedro and he was a lot of fun and knowledgeable. The stops for swimming were beautiful! Pack your snacks, bring your drinks (cooler is provided) and have a great time. Recommend trying this private boat tour.

Wow, must do

Lisa_J, Aug 2025
Absolutely fantastic trip. Ginger, our Skipper, was brilliant. He was very accommodating, friendly and knowledgable. We had the best 3 hours and our only complaint was that we wished we had booked a longer tour as we didn’t want it to end! The boat was immaculate too.

A dreamy day trip upon the deep blue sea.

Dawne_S, Aug 2025
A day on board the Rascala with Skipper Joe is a great value. He is knowledgeable, friendly, accommodating and very ably transports you to wonderfully gorgeous locations.

The Highlight of our trip to Malta.

Zaquira_S, Jul 2025
The Highlight of our trip to Malta. We had private boat tour with this lovely family run company, the owners were so approachable and organized. They organized pickup and drop off for us, the boat tour was amazing, skipper Addin was so polite, knowledagble and competent with his sailing skills that made us feel safe and comfortable. We loved everything and highly recommend using their service for an unforgetable boat tour. Thank you so much and keep up the great work, definitely worth a 6* :)

Pedro was amazing and the private boat was even better. We had an amazing time and!! Would definitely recommend.

Amazing Day on and in the water in Malta!

Amazing trip with special needs son!

Kerry_B, Jul 2025
Excellent experience from start to end!!!! We had a party of 3 - my husband, me, and our son who has special needs. We had Isaac pick us up at the port and he was amazing!!!! Then Chris was our skipper. Chris was great with our son and was very personable. We had a wonderful trip and couldn’t have asked for more!!!!

Unforgettable time enjoying the ocean

Lisbet_A, Jul 2025
This trip was worth every penny. Our skipper, Justin was incredibly helpful and professional. I don’t swim and he encourages me to get on the water to enjoy the crystal waters of the Mediterranean. He also jumped in and made sure I felt safe and enjoyed the experience. My son had a blast, swimming, jumping, snorkeling and sunbathing. There was not a single moment that I wouldn’t enjoy, specially seeing my boy happy. The boat was brand new and impeccable. We had enough time to explore all the spots. I followed their recommendations for the transportation from and back with Shawn. The driver was puntual. I highly recommend this company, bring you towels, drinks, snacks, sunglasses and the excitement to enjoy beautiful scenery and marvelous Mediterranean ocean . Thank you Justin !

Must Do Experience

Thomas_W, Jul 2025
Very kind & informative, Jimmy was a the perfect captain. He quickly found out what our interests were & off we went! Because we weren’t interested in swimming this time, he suggested that we spend a little more time on Camino & see a few spots around Gozo. This was one of the top activities we enjoyed on our 3-week trip.

This was a fantastic...

Frances_F, Jul 2025
This was a fantastic experience! Dani, our driver, was excellent and very skilled. He navigated us into many small caves, and took fabulous photos of us. We got plenty of swimming time at the beginning, and we were able to get a bit of extra time at the end, after we had gone around the island. We would definitely recommend this to others!

Amazing Tour!!

Scott_J, Jul 2025
Jimmy was amazing!! He was waiting for us when we got to the meeting point with his 25 foot runabout deck boat. First thing he did was have s connect the Bluetooth to the boat so we could DJ our own music during the tour!! He offered us a cooler to keep our drinks cold, but we had brought our own. Towels on the seats, and a portable charger to charge our phones from taking so many amazing pictures! Jimmy did a great job maneuvering the boat in and out of caves and lagoons so we could take pictures and swim. He threw bread in the water for the fish while we were in the water so we could experience them up-close. Would 100% recommend this tour, and ask for Jimmy if you can!!

Very good tour. Chris was...

Joseph_I, Jul 2025
Very good tour. Chris was a great skipper. We managed to swim in both the blue and crystal lagoon. Would highly recommend.

A bit expensive, but worth it!

Indira_H, Jun 2025
This was a really fun afternoon! Our captain, Upie was great, finding all the best spots to stop to enjoy the scenery and take a swim, he even gave us directions to get to places the boat couldn’t so that we could really enjoy Camino! My only complaint was that the price was a bit high, especially as there was a €79 fuel surcharge that we had to pay in cash on the boat! Overall totally worth it, if you don’t mind paying a not more for a private boat!

Best part of our Cruise, Malta on the water perfection

Beth_P, Jun 2025
This was one of the best things, I've ever done. Casper our captain was a blast and took us to some of the most beautiful places in Malta. The water was beautiful and for 6 people the price was reasonable and the boat was perfect. MALTA is best seen from the water and we sure did enjoy every second of it. I wish I could do it all over again.

Fabulous boat tour around Malta

sarah_l, Jun 2025

Thank you so much for your lovely words, Ruth! 🥰 We're thrilled you had a fantastic time with skipper Mahmoud — he's truly one of a kind and always makes the tour extra special! 🙌 It means a lot to hear you enjoyed our Outdoor Explorers Malta private boat tour to the Blue Lagoon, Crystal Lagoon, Comino caves, and Gozo coastline 💙⛵️ Being able to swim and snorkel in the bluest waters, away from the crowds, is what we love most too 🐠🌊 Thanks again for recommending us — hope to welcome you back on board soon! 😎⚓️

A highlight of our Malta experience!

Sarah_V, May 2025
One of our highlights of our trip! Having a private boat tour is worth the money, and Ginger was informative, accommodating, and entertaining. The boat was beautiful, clean, and fun to be in. The small boat also made it easier to go places the larger, more touristy (overcrowded looking) boats couldn’t safely go. Would definitely do this again- and would ask for Ginger. Thank you!

Perfect Afternoon in Gozo

Darlene_S, Jan 2025
We had a wonderful skipper named Upie. He made the day perfect. He took us to places we're we could snorkel and swim which suited our style... avoiding the really busy areas. It was a wonderful afternoon and we all agreed it was perfect.

Great experience!

Vanessa_K, Oct 2024
We only had half a day to spend out on a boat and wanted the best experience for our son’s birthday. We booked the private charter for our family of four and we had so much fun! Ubbi (spelling?) was an excellent guide and took us to all the best spots to swim and snorkel! We highly recommend and would definitely do this again! Super easy and fun! The water was also still plenty warm to swim in in October!

Response from Host, Oct 2024

Hi Vanessa, Thank you so much for your wonderful review! 😊 We’re thrilled to hear that you and your family had such a memorable day celebrating your son’s birthday with us on a private boat charter! 🎉🚤 Skipper Upie was delighted to guide you to the best spots around Comino Island, including the beautiful Blue Lagoon, Crystal Lagoon, and the stunning caves.

Thank you for the high recommendation, and we’d love to welcome you back for more unforgettable adventures on the water. 🌊🏝️

Perfect morning cruise and swim

Shaughn_B, Oct 2024
Fantastic little cruise through the Mediterranean in Malta - our guide Men was awesome taking us to different places both popular (Blue Lagoon) and a little more secluded (tidepools, caves). He also taught us some of the landmarks andhistory and he was a great photographer! It was a fantastic way to spend 3 hours out at sea and was exactly what we were looking for in a private boat trip in Malta.

Response from Host, Oct 2024

Hey Shaugh! Thank you so much for your fantastic review! 😊 We’re thrilled to hear that you had a wonderful time cruising through the Mediterranean with Outdoor Explorers Malta! 🌊 Men is indeed an awesome guide, and we’re glad he was able to show you both the popular spots like the Blue Lagoon and some of the more secluded gems. 🏝️ Exploring these hidden treasures while learning about the landmarks and history is what makes a private boat trip so special—and we’re happy to hear it was exactly what you were looking for! 📸 We hope to welcome you back for more adventures around the Maltese islands soon! 🚤✨
