About the experience

Discover the wilder, more secluded side of Malta on this 8-hour sailing experience aboard a comfortable Elan 410 sailboat. Departing in the morning, this journey takes you south along the island’s stunning coastline, far from the usual tourist routes, to explore a series of hidden coves and natural swimming spots that showcase the raw beauty of the Mediterranean.

Your adventure begins as you set sail toward Il-Hofriet, a dramatic stretch of coastline known for its white cliffs and crystalline waters—ideal for your first swim or snorkel of the day. Then, continue on to Saint Thomas Bay, a peaceful inlet perfect for paddleboarding or relaxing on deck as you float in its calm turquoise waters.

From there, the tour takes you to the famous St. Peter’s Pool, where adrenaline seekers can take a jump from the rocks, or simply enjoy watching from the comfort of the boat. The final stop is El Kalanka, a peaceful and often deserted cove surrounded by raw nature—ideal for a last refreshing dip before heading back. We can also head north were we can visit other bays ,St, Paul's Islands, Comino, Blu Lagoon, Crystal, Lagoon and Paradise Bay.

This sailing tour includes stand-up paddleboard (SUP), snorkeling equipment, Bluetooth speakers, water and soft drinks, and final cleaning—everything you need to spend a perfect day on the water. With an experienced crew ensuring your comfort and safety, you can fully immerse yourself in the magic of Malta’s southern coast.

Whether you’re traveling with friends, family, or a loved one, this full-day escape offers a unique chance to experience the island from a different perspective—peaceful, private, and full of natural wonder.

    A great yacht and very hospitable owner. Knows the local waters well and went the extra mile. Is also available (depending on the weather) year-round. Is a racing member of the Royal Malta Yacht Club so knows his stuff, has great contacts - and has some good stories. Highly recommended and will be our 'go too' guy for day charters.

    We have had the best day on Paul’s yacht. Everything has been perfect from start to finish. The boat is immaculate and has everything you need. The communication from Paul after booking has been great & made the process so simple. Justin our skipper was an absolute superstar. He looked after us all day long like we were royalty!! He took us to the Blue Lagoon so we could see the beautiful water, but then he took us to some less busy, just as beautiful bays. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We ordered some food which Paul’s wife had made fresh for us that morning, which was delicious. If you are thinking of a private yacht rental then go with Paul, you won’t be disappointed.

    Paul is a good skipper, you can see he has experience but, in my opinion, he is tired of sailing. Just one detail, why would someone rent a sailboat? To sail with a motor? When I suggested sailing he told me that I should have warned him before, that the awning had to be removed!!! Anyway, I helped him with all the maneuvers and that was supposedly with an "assistant"... very kind and polite but not very helpful.

    We had a great time. A lovely relaxing day no issues. We wanted something private with not a lot of noise or bustling of people just us. Paul is a great captain who made us feel safe and reassured when my girls had a bit of panic with the waves. Took us where we wanted and advised on where best to swim to suit us. Will definitely recommend Paul and his yatch. Very clean. Good amenities on board where we had a fridge ice and speakers to play the girls music he accommodated all our requests without issue. Even picked us up from our hotel jetty and returned on time. We requested to sail to Gozo syop for a couple of hours and Paul accommodated us with this. It was a day I thought might be too long but with Paul's great organisation the day seemed short but thoroughly enjoyable to be on a boat.

    Wow! What an incredible day with captain Paul and a reunion with 6 friends! To be honest we did not make much of a plan of where we wanted to go or see, although, we didn't want to miss the Blue Lagoon. Paul stepped in and created a personalised itinerary for the day after discussing our needs, and it was nothing less than perfect! As requested we wanted more secluded spots, rather than the big crowds and Paul took us to his hidden gems. Not only was Paul and incredible captain, I wouldn't be surprised if he conducts walking tours too! His knowledge of Malta and the history of this beautiful country was remarkable. Thanks Paul, you made our reunion with friends an exceptional day! Plus, the boat was perfect and well looked after. Very glad we opted for this over the shared days trips. Thanks from, Alex, David, Charles, Sarah, Jules, Meg and Will.

    Paul is a very accommodating and very friendly skipper. He did everything to make our day a success. We chose the route together, we used the paddle, 4/5 snorkeling masks and its BBQ. It was incredible. A big thank you to him for this exceptional moment with our 8 friends.

    Paul was fantastic! Very kind and professional. We ordered some traditional Maltese and ham sandwiches that his wife prepared for us early that morning. They were delicious! We had a lovely relaxing day with Paul. My only complaint is once committing to the agreed on price the booking company attached over a $100 in fees. Not Paul’s fault but blame the booking company for slipping that in during the check out process.

    Captain Paul made our boat trip an unforgettable experience. My family has been on a lot of boats with many captains, however, Paul is someone we will always remember. Paul was very down to earth and a good man at heart, making the entire experience even more enjoyable. His kindness and humor created a warm and welcoming atmosphere on board. We couldn’t have asked for a better captain. Highly recommend Paul for an incredible and laughter-filled voyage!

    Had a wonderful day with Paul! Flexible and easy scheduling. Gorgeous boat. Made us feel very comfortable and at home to play music, drink and have a great time. Brought us to some beautiful private coves along the southern part of the island. Can’t wait to tour with him again! Next time in Malta will 100% be back with Paul! Thanks Paul!

    We had a wonderful day with Paul, going to the blue lagoon and crystal lagoon. Paul was great, welcoming, professional and just an all round nice guy. Likewise, the boat is in good condition. We were 4 people but you could easily fit more without it feeling crowded. Highly recommend.

    We had an amazing day with the incredible Captain Paul. He was knowledgeable and accommodating to our preferences and provided us with all the snorkelling gear we needed for the trip. If you’re interested in history he’s very keen to share his insights and impressive grasp of Malta’s history. A great day.

    My family and I wanted a memorable experience for our trip to Camino. We thought about booking passage on a ferry or large boat but we had read that they can be quite packed and busy. Instead, we decided to book a smaller boat that would give us the privacy and vibe we were going for. When we booked Paul, we were pleasantly surprised right from the get go. He was attentive and quick to respond to any requests we had. When we arrived at Paul’s boat, he greeted us very warmly and once on the boat, walked through the safely procedures to ensure a fun, safe ride. He also provided us with several trip options along with the timelines of each. My family has quite a bit of boating experience so we knew right off the bat that Paul was a true professional. It was a bit windy the day of our trip but Paul Did a great job of getting us to Camino safely and on time. On the way he offered drinks and pointed out points of interest. As a bit of a history buff, I really enjoyed Paul’s knowledge of Malta’s rich history. Once at Comino, Paul found the perfect spot to anchor (which for us was away from the crowds) and spent our time in the crystal blue waters, swimming into caves and cliff jumping. The boat had plenty of shade available and a great area at the front of the boat to suntan. On the way back we had a bit of time to stop at a different bay for a quick swim which was beautiful as well! Over all, the boat was beautiful and well kept, but more importantly, Paul made the entire trip worth it through his friendly and outgoing personality. The day was amazing and we would hire Paul in a heartbeat if we decided to do this again. *Paul gets a full 5+ star rating from us, but his wife’s traditional Maltese Sandwiches get a full 7/5!!

    Paul was our skipper of the day. He provided us a lot of snorkels, and a paddle board, and showed us around Malta. We went to the blue lagoon, and he even let us help him sail!! When we jumped into the water, one of us got stung by a jellyfish. He put some medicine on it, and after that went looking for it, and scared them away. We didn’t see any jellyfish after that!!! Overall, a very kind man, and a very pleasant experience <3 The boat was also very nice, and you were able to lay on the deck.

    Absolutely enjoyed a 1 full day trip on the boat Elan 410 with Skeeper and boat owner Paul, what an amazing experience!!!! We departured from Taxbiex on time ( thats where the boat was located) and Paul took us to Blue lagoon and Crystal lagoon for some swimming snorkeling and fishing. He is very friendly, accommodative, knowledgeable and his boat was lovely, clean, and had everything needed. We loved the day out, the price for the experience was also very competitive, weather was fantastic, and will defo do it again. I will certainly recommend Paul and his boat going forward. thanks and regards Albina
