Jamie_S, Apr 2024

Had the best day going to the blue lagoon with Sergio! His cooking was amazing and it was definitely the highlight of our trip. And his cooking was incredible !!

What a great experience! ...

A must do in Malta!!

Catherine_P, Oct 2023

We had a wonderful time with Sergio on our sailing adventure!!! We highly recommend the lunch option…Sergio made us a delicious meal!! Thank you for the experience of a lifetime!!

Excellent Boating Day in Malta

Elaine_H, Oct 2023

Sergio and Carla were the most gracious hosts. Great day on the sea. Lunch was amazing. Swimming in the caves was such fun.

Highly recommend, amazing experience!

David_R, Aug 2023

This experience was great. Sergio was very very accomodating and helpful. The freedom to adapt the trip due to weather conditions was great, Sergio made the options clear and gave us the decision to make. Best day ever, highly recommend bringing snacks and drinks, there is a cooler built in the boat. The boat and experience is great and exceeded expectations.

Not sure this is the best captain to go with

StacyZlatin, Aug 2023

The sites we saw were amazing! We swam in the most breathtaking areas Overall we had a wonderful day however Sergio the captain was far from hospitable. First then it cannot fit ten people comfortably. We were 7 adults and fit just fine but if there were more I’m not sure where they would have sat. Second the advertising Said will serve appetizers- we were only served water. Not even a juice or soft drink. And certainly no appetizers. When we stopped he didn’t offer the paddle board which was on board and when asked for snorkel gear it was given but not warmly. I would say this is a great trip but perhaps with a different captain.

Response from Host, Oct 2023

Hi Stacy. We are very sorry to hear our offer did not match your expectations! We are always happy to host you again in the future for a better experience, as Sergio is one of our most beloved captains by reviewers. The paddle board is always available upon request, just like the snorkel gear. It is great to hear that you found the boat comfortable enough for 7 people! For every booking, we can provide an exact description of the boat, and we always provide an indication of how many people the boat can carry. We absolutely agree with you, carrying and comfortably hosting are very different. For that reason, we only book boats for up to two thirds their allowed capacity (the boat we offered you had a 15-people capacity, which we bring down to 10 for comfort). When it comes to appetisers, unfortunately we only offer a full lunch option upon request. Guests are always given the option to either book a full lunch, or bring their own food and drinks on board. Water is always available for free, and wine or beer can always be bought on the boat as an alternative to bringing your own. As you chose the no-lunch option, per your request we set up a cooler and bought ice at the harbour to store your own lunch. In our communication, it was also specified that you would have to drink your own lunch and drinks. Let’s make sure communication flows better next time!

Do it!!

Chrestee_H, Jul 2023

This trip was the highlight of our vacation and worth every €. We swam in crystal blue lagoons, jumped from high cliffs and explored natural caves. Sergio was a skilled captain, kind and so accommodating to ensure the trip was all we wanted and then some. He’s an amazing cook as well. Don’t hesitate to add on the food and drinks!! And don’t second guess booking this tour - we have lifelong family memories (the best souvenir).

Best way to see the islands

Joseph_D, Jul 2023

Sergio was a great host and cook. Very accommodating . Excellent captain and took us to non crowded but beautiful places

Great day out to sea!

Ariana_M, Jul 2023

Hands down the best experience we had in Malta! Sergio is an absolute gem and made our time with him amazing. We were a group of 10 celebrating a 30th birthday and went above and beyond for our group. Be prepared the best fresh meal ( quiche, caico e pepe, fish pasta) and had a selection of wine and beer on the boat. I highly recommend.

Great experience. Would definitely recommend!

Bobby_S, Jul 2023

Decided to splurge on a boating trip Family of six. Didn't want a big group bus with no room and having to deal with other people. Glad we did it! Sergio was great. The boat was perfect. We opted to bring our own food and we didn't mind.

Delightful and Delicious Day on the Water

Melissa_A, Jul 2023

We had a wonderful day with Sergio on the water! He showed us the sites, allowed us to explore at our own pace, and made us a delicious lunch on board! Highly recommend a charter with him and also recommend adding on the lunch. He is a wonderful chef!

Well worth the price for the experience!!

Franz_C, Jun 2023

My partner and I booked this trip to go and see the islands. The reviews are good so we decided to go for this one. Sergios has been in constant contact with us, which make me feel more comfortable. I am unable to swim because of recent surgery on my arm and he found us a flatter area for me to be able to at least experience the sea. I would recommend adding the food, which he cooks fresh from the start. Definitely an A+

Sergio is the best!

Gary_S, Jun 2023

Sergio was amazing. He was very knowledgeable and overall a great guy. 10/10 would recommend! We had a great day.

Perfect Day !

Andrea_K, Jun 2023

Amazing day!!! My husband and I booked a full day tour with Sergio. It could not have been any better! Sergio is the perfect host. He kept in great communication and also prepared us a fantastic meal. I would highly recommend ordering the lunch.

Absolutely Perfect

Bryce_s, Jun 2023

This was a fantastic experience. I can’t imagine a better use of a day in Malta. The boat was comfortable, Sergio/Clara were great, and the lunch was amazing. This has to be the best option available for a day sailing in Malta.

Dangerous Sailing!

EMMANUEL_R, May 2023

Sergio is a pleasant person & a good cook, and his boat is clean & well maintained. The issue is on that day(3rd week of May), the wind is strong thus the waves are high. Safety is an issue. They should have cancelled the trip. We did not go to Gozo just stayed in Comino. Not what I expected.

Response from Host, Jun 2023

Hi there, thank you for your feedback 🙂 We are happy to hear that you enjoyed the tour, and we will be happy to welcome you on board again on a day with better weather! We understand that the wind conditions created a less comfortable environment than expected, although we would like to highlight that there was never a safety risk involved. Malta is located in the Mediterranean channel, and bigger waves than the rest of the Mediterranean are to be expected. That’s absolutely not a safety risk. We take the safety of our clients very seriously, and we never shied away from cancelling tours due to unsafe weather before. That was not the case during this tour, and we made sure to mention beforehand that there was stronger wind on the day. The option to cancel the tour was available, and we left the informed choice in your hands, as safety risks were never part of the equation. It was an ideal day to open the sails for instance! We also understand that not every one has sailed before, and hence us informing you about the stronger (but not at all unsafe) wind beforehand.

Memorable Experience!!

Hampton_H, May 2023

Did this trip as one last celebration of studying abroad with my friends and had the best time!! A must do! He was so nice and friendly to us and he made THE BEST food and was accommodating to allergies within the group. One stop had too much jelly fish at the time so he offered to take us to the second stop earlier than planned so we could be there for longer. He had a speaker that he let us use and it lasted the entire time. Truly a memorable experience!

A (Windy) Five Star Day

Eden_F, Apr 2023

What an experience. Despite the wind and cooler temperatures (April), Sergio was a phenomenal host and captain. He did a great job communicating ahead of the charter and picked us up from Gozo where we were staying , instead of in Malta. The boat was immaculately maintained and extremely comfortable. It was obvious he was an experienced sailor and was cautious of the wind with the children aboard. Instead, he made sure we were well fed, comfortable and was persistent in finding a sheltered spot so we could take a (chilly) dip in the water. Sergio, we hope to see you again so we can properly sail, paddlebord and enjoy your company. THANK YOU!

We had an amazing,...

Julie_P, Sep 2022

We had an amazing, relaxing day after 2 weeks of on the go traveling thru Tuscany. Sergio and his partner provided an incredible lunch with great wine. A must do, do not hesitate to book!
