Jacques is an exceptional host, passionate and engaging. He showed us incredible places and is full of ideas when he sees the crowds arriving. We had a wonderful day with him, thank you so much for this wonderful experience, Jacques. If you're still hesitant to book with him, go for it with your eyes closed!

Jacques is the best host. We had such am amazing day out. He felt like part of our group, having good conversations, giving us info on places and joking around with us. He suggested to go to a different spot on Gozo instead of the blue lagoon which I was hesitant at first but so glad we did. The spot was very secluded with 4 small boats and very peaceful, perfect for a swim. We opted to stop in gozo for lunch which was a nice break from the boat and a wonderful experience. I would highly recommend Jacques and we will be coming back to him for our next tour.

Our group of 10 had an amazing day out on the boat! There was clear communication with Jacques from the start. We were able to enjoy multiple beautiful swim spots and Jacques was very knowledgeable in taking us to quieter places where we had more room for activities. Thanks so much Jacques for making our trip!!

We had an amazing day with Jacques on his lovely boat ‘Battleaxe’. He took us to several lovely swimming spots including well known Blue and Crystal lagoons but also to some other more secluded spots. We had a lot of fun with the paddle boards too. Jacques arranged for us to have lunch at a lovely restaurant on Comino island and also shared a bottle of wine on board. It was a very unique experience and I would definitely recommend.

We had a wonderful day with Jacques, our skipper: kindness, friendliness, advice, but above all, a remarkable mastery of his boat and the rules of the sea. Safety above all ? Jacques took care of finding us the best day of the week, booking us a restaurant "with our feet in the water," and taking care of our group of nine people. A thousand thanks to Jacques for everything. And don't hesitate to trust him with your boating plans ???

Jacques is one of the best sailors I’ve had the pleasure of being out with. He was professional and easy to get along with. Like a long lost friend whom you haven’t seen, we spend the full 8 hours chatting, sailing and enjoying the sea. He spent sometime helping me brush up on my sailing skills and what can be better than all that? The lagoons were epic, but the sailing was top notch! I recommend Jacques and his beautiful boat to any and everyone!

We went sailing with Jacques as a family of four. We started in Mgarr. This sailing trip with Jacques on his boat was a really great experience. Jacques was responsive to our wishes and needs. Since we are beginner sailors, he explained a lot about his boat and what we should pay attention to if we ever go sailing alone. He is more of a friend than a skipper. We felt very comfortable at all times, went snorkeling, swimming and SUPing. A really great day. After we couldn't get enough, we sailed back to Valletta with Jacques and took the ferry back to Gozo in the evening. Thank you so much for this wonderful day.

We had a really wonderful day with Jacques. As the day was a present for my husband's birthday, I had expressed a few wishes in advance, which he completed wonderfully. He also answered all my many questions in a super friendly and, above all, quick manner. He picked us up at the quay in the morning and showed us everything we needed to know on the boat. Then we briefly discussed the route. Here, too, he really took our wishes into account and matched them perfectly with the conditions at sea. The route that day took us along the coast towards Gozo, between Malta and Comino with a brief detour to the Blue Lagoon and then to a beautiful bay on Gozo for a swim and lunch. For those who like snorkeling, he has everything on board and also 2 SUPs. The lunch he prepared was simple but so delicious. After a long break, we sailed comfortably and relaxed back along the coast to Manoel Island. The day was simply absolutly perfect. I can only recommend spending the day with Jacques on his boat to anyone who wants to spend a wonderful day at sea, learn a lot about the country and its people and, above all, see a lot of the islands. There is certainly no better skipper for this. We will definitely book another day on his boat with Jacques on our next visit.

Sail Trip with Captain Jacques in Malta onboard The Battleaxe. We had the pleasure of experiencing a sailing trip with Captain Jacques in the stunning waters of Malta, and it truly exceeded all my expectations. From the moment we arrived at the marina, I knew I was in for a special day. Captain Jacques is a seasoned sailor with a wealth of knowledge about the area. His warm social personality and engaging stories made for a fantastic atmosphere. The sailboat itself was impressive—well-maintained. Equipped with all the necessary safety features, it allowed us to enjoy our time on the water without any worries. As we departed from the marina, the thrill of setting sail immediately filled the air. Captain Jacques took the time to explain the basics of sailing, which was a nice touch for us as new to the experience for spouse and daughter. We cruised through the Maltese waters, navigating past beautiful coastal landscapes and historic sites. The sight of the stunning cliffs and hidden coves around the Maltese coastline was simply breathtaking. We anchored in a magic spot for a swim at a lovely bay. The vibrant turquoise waters were irresistible, and we spent time swimming, snorkeling, supping and exploring the area. Captain Jacques also shared insights about the local marine life and history of Malta, making the trip both educational and enjoyable. Overall, my sail trip with Captain Jacques in Malta was a highlight of my trip. The combination of breathtaking scenery, expert sailing, and warm hospitality created an unforgettable experience. Whether you're an experienced sailor or a first-timer, I highly recommend spending time on the water with Captain Jacques. It’s a fantastic way to discover the beauty of Malta from a unique perspective. I can’t wait to return for another adventure!

I had a very nice end of the day. Jacques is very professional and a very pleasant person. He can also be a great teacher and happily transmits his passion for sailing. I highly recommend even people traveling alone to live this little experience. Seeing Malta from the sea is unique and a must-do! Thanks again Jacques!

We had the absolute best day with Jacques on his boat from my Friday birthday!! He was so much fun and knowledgeable and took us to the best swim spots. He also booked us a beautiful place for lunch in Gozo which was so handy. Could not recommend Jacques and his boat more, so sad that the day is over. Hope we can all come back again one day!!

We chartered Jacques boat as a birthday treat for our daughter, with family members. We all had a great day exploring Malta from the sea. Jacques shared with us history of Malta and was able to answer questions we had. He recommended areas to visit that were less crowded of tourists which we really appreciated. As a result we saw some beautiful areas and things. It was clear that Jacques is very experienced in sailing and enjoys it very much. We would highly recommend chartering Jacques boat for a relaxing, fun day in Malta!

Jacques was amazing!! He is a very knowledgeable sailor and he is also very kind, funny, and caring. We spent the entire day on the boat and had an amazing time. We had a great experience with Jacq and the sailing boat was wonderful. We enjoyed the snorkeling gear and paddle boards. We did a bbq on the boat and he had plates, utensils, and a table for us. Jacq also explained to us how the sailing boat works and showed us some sailing tricks. I would recommend this to everyone!!

Highly recommended! For a treat exploring the Maltese waters, don’t look further than Captain Jacques! Thanks Jacques for taking us and accomodating a later day trip. Jacques was the consummate host and captain, provided all that we need to enjoy the water safely, he let us get hands on on the boat when we wanted to, and managed every request for us. We were celebrating my partner’s 30th birthday and we had a ball. We were five people but the boat can fit many more so we had plenty of room, and we made a simple pasta lunch on board too. Thanks Jacques! Highly recommend Jacques and his boat for anyone wanting a truly private experience. Don’t hesitate and book with Jacques.

We had such a great time and would definitely charter this boat again. It was very affordable and the itinerary was set to what we wanted to do. He was even able to flex our plans when the weather was not cooperating and pick us up in a better spot. Only thing that needs to be improved is communication when it comes to where to meet and park before departing.
