★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 662 reviews · 8 hours 30 minutes (approx.) Top rated

Sail from Kalkara Marina with a private skipper such as David, Terry, Nick, or Maurizio. Spend the day around Comino, Crystal Lagoon, Blue Lagoon, St. Paul’s Bay, and Valletta Grand Harbour, with swimming, snorkeling, paddleboards, and an optional barbecue.

“Great experience! We booked a discovery day for 3 (2 adults 1 kid). The boat was perfect so was the captain. It was a private cruise. We could customize our trip but also received good advice from the captain. The landscapes, lagoons, sailing experience were great. Wonderful attention was given to my kid who could sail and fish on the boat (asked for the latter at booking stage) BBQ on the boat was perfect, I recommend also the Maltese platter, delicious. Activities on the boat were as expected, swimming in turquoise water in the lagoons, paddle board, diving from the boat, etc. I have zero reason to NOT recommend this…”
