    Our day was absolutely wonderful. Captain Lino balanced engaging with us, telling us about Malta, sharing stories about his life, and giving us space to enjoy the trip as a couple. I can say 100% that this is how one should enjoy Malta and my husband and I could not have been happier with the experience.

    A perfect day at sea in Malta with skipper Omar. We had an incredible experience aboard the boat. The vessel was in impeccable condition, clean, modern, and very well-maintained. It's clear the crew takes great care of their equipment. The skipper, Omar, was a huge part of what made this day so memorable. He is an extremely pleasant and smiling person who knows the Maltese waters like the back of his hand. He took us to beautiful, pristine spots away from the crowds. Besides his professionalism, he was also very attentive to our comfort. The equipment on board exceeded all our expectations. The boat was equipped with everything we needed, including snorkeling masks, waterproof phone cases, and even underwater jet scooter to explore the sea floor. We were also delighted to find that the trip included a great selection of soft drinks, snacks, wine, and beer. It was a true pleasure, and we highly recommend this boat with skipper Omar for anyone looking for an exceptional sea excursion.

    Omar has been a great host and captain. Very welcoming and friendly but discrete at the same time. The boat is very nice, maintenance and cleanliness at a top level. Awesome "tour" between Comino and Gozo, with surprising close-up view of several caves. I'm looking forward for another experience like this! Highly recommended

    We had booked a boat with Omar to enjoy a fun day on the water with our group of friends and to see the beautiful spots around Malta. We had an amazing day together with Omar and his crew. Everything was just as we wished, and he was very thoughtful and accommodating throughout the day. Thank you for this wonderful day!

    We were disappointed and thoroughly underwhelmed by this experience. Due to poor weather conditions, we were unable to visit Como/Gozo - something that was not communicated clearly in advance. Additionally, we were asked to meet Omar at an alternative pickup location, which required two taxis for our group of eight and added over 30 minutes of travel each way. This not only increased our costs but also caused unnecessary inconvenience, especially since the original pickup point was right next to our hotel. The day itself was poorly organized. We were taken to just a couple of nearby spots, no more than a 30-minute boat ride away, and remained there for the duration. There was no effort made to show us around or offer any sightseeing opportunities. To make matters worse, we were asked to pay extra - on the day - for access to the boat’s cabins. This was never mentioned in any prior communication and felt extremely dishonest. We've been hiring boats in Malta for years and have never encountered such hidden charges. Omar also attempted to charge us for water and soft drinks, despite having previously confirmed that these were included. Frankly, I should be demanding some sort of partial refund here as the reduction in the cost of fuel alone (for not visiting Como/Gozo) should warrant a reduction in the overall price of the hire - let alone additional charges being made on the day. I cannot recommend this service to anyone. We've had many fantastic boat hires in Malta, even in rough weather, but this was by far the worst. Please book elsewhere.

    We rented the boat and it was a spectacular experience. From the first moment, everything was perfect. The boat was impeccable: super clean and cared for down to the smallest detail. You can tell it's maintained with great care. Captain Lino was simply exceptional. A man with extensive experience at sea, very polite, attentive, and professional. He fully adapted to our requests and took us to all the places we wanted to visit without any problems. He made us feel safe and comfortable throughout the day. We will definitely repeat if we return to Malta. We 100% recommend choosing this boat. You won't regret it! I have extensive experience at sea, and it's very appreciated to take a boat in these conditions and with such a respectable captain. We also went to a restaurant on the boat for lunch, recommended by Lino, and the restaurant was also spectacular. A ten-star day. I would like to thank Lino for the great day we had.

    It was the best experience in Malta so far. We're very satisfied with the clean and very comfortable boat as well as the service, food and friendliness of Omar. I want to thank Dean especially. He recovered a very important bracelet from the deep water for us like it was nothing. We will definitely return.

    We had an absolutely amazing day on board this luxurious yacht and Captain Lino truly knows his craft. He took us to the most beautiful places, showed us hidden gems, found the perfect spots for swimming and relaxing and told us everything we wanted to know and learn about Malta’s waters and history. On top of that he cooked a fabulous meal for us and made the day as memorable as it could be. We loved every minute of it. The booking was easy, pre-communication with Omar was super friendly and special requests were taken care of and organized perfectly. Thank you so much!

    I had the pleasure of spending a day on October 7 on the water with skipper Lino and I must say it was an exceptional experience. From start to finish Lino demonstrated professionalism, expertise, and a genuine passion for boating that made our trip unforgettable. Throughout the day, Lino maintained clear communication with our group, ensuring that everyone was aware of what was happening and what to expect next. This made for a seamless and enjoyable experience. In conclusion, I wholeheartedly recommend Lino for anyone looking for a skilled and personable skipper for a day out on the boat. His expertise, attention to safety, and ability to create a fun atmosphere truly set him apart. I look forward to boating with him again in the future!

    The most amazing day out for my daughter's birthday - she is very hard to please! Everyone had a fabulous day and my daughter said it was the best birthday ever. The boat was perfect for a family of four - clean, comfortable and modern - most importantly it was so easy to get back on board after swimming for my daughter who struggles sometimes. Omar and Dean were perfect hosts - if you want a magical day of memories definitely book this boat. They can cater lunch on board which is ideal when you want to make the most of the day on the boat - yummy food. We will definitely be back and have already recommended them to several friends. Thank you so much!! Claire
