Private Day Sailing Boat Charter

3.Private Day Sailing Boat Charter

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

Set sail from Kalkara Marina with a private skipper such as David, Terry, Nick, or Maurice, depending on availability. You’ll cruise through Valletta Grand Harbour toward Comino, stopping at Crystal Lagoon, Blue Lagoon, St. Paul’s Bay, and quieter coves. Swim, snorkel, paddleboard, or shape the route around your group’s wishes.

“Captain David was very kind and friendly, he took care of our safety at all times, he was very knowledgeable and did his best to accommodate our plans. We found the lunch overpriced (we ate dinner at a Michelin guide restaurant at the same price later on) but this operator allows you to bring your own food and drinks, unlike others I have seen. Whilst the idea of a bbq on the boat sounds pretty cool, don't forget that it eats in the valuable time you get to spend in the beautiful bays so my recommendation would be to just bring your own cold meal and wine/prosecco to save time…”

“you can't get much better value!! personalised trip with just the two of us. joe was very responsive and helpful. joe took us to the crystal lagoon and blue lagoon for a 2 hour excursion. I'd definitely recommend spending more time swimming in the crystal lagoon rather than the blue lagoon. the latter was very very busy...yes crystal lagoon allowed us to swim right into the cave. joe was there waiting patiently fur or return just a tip.... get changed before you get on the boat unless you're not too proud to get changed in front of strangers. Can't recommend highly enough”

“Today my wife and I went on one of our favorite tours—a full-day private tour of Gozo—and it truly exceeded expectations. Our driver, Emilio, let us completely set the pace: we chose how long to spend at each stop and skipped places that weren’t of interest. He also took us to several of his favorite scenic spots with breathtaking views and very few tourists, which made for incredible photos. Emilio recommended a fantastic lunch spot where we enjoyed wonderful seafood and an amazing dessert, and throughout the day he shared bits of local history and details unique to Gozo that really brought the island to life. Sometimes on private tours…”
