Join skipper Peter aboard a private 14-meter sailboat for eight hours around Malta, Gozo, and Comino. Swim in secluded coves, snorkel over clear water, use the kayak and paddle board, and bring food for the onboard BBQ. Depart from Marfa Jetty or Mgarr Harbor.

“We had an unforgettable experience on this boat trip! Peter, our skipper, took us to some absolutely stunning spots – hidden bays and crystal-clear waters that felt like paradise. We brought our own food, and Peter was kind enough to prepare it for us, which was such a thoughtful gesture. The boat was well-equipped with lots of fun water toys – paddle board, kayak, and more – and Peter encouraged us to enjoy them as much as we wanted. He was incredibly patient and professional, even though we were a big, lively group of friends having a lot of fun. I truly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Malta –…”
