Two of you
A quiet anchorage, a long lunch, and nobody else aboard. Soft water, soft conversation, and an evening run when the cliffs turn amber.

Not a fleet.A boat, and a few people who care.
Most charter companies in Malta take the booking and place you on somebody else's boat. You find out which on the morning.
We are not that. There is one blue Azimut 60 Sport, one crew, and a day planned the night before around the weather and where the other boats will be. If the Blue Lagoon will be full at eleven, we take you elsewhere at eleven and bring you back at five - when it looks the way it does in the photographs.
We are a small private operation. We answer WhatsApp ourselves. We want you wet, fed, and a little bit quiet by the time we tie up - the good kind of tired that only salt air makes.
What brings you
to the water?
Tell us who you are with and what you want the day to feel like. We plan around that - not a laminated itinerary.
Family days
Shallow, sheltered water for children, shade on deck, and a skipper who will cut the day short if it stops being fun. No fixed timetable to fight.
Celebrations
Birthdays, proposals, anniversaries. Tell us the night before and we will have it set up before you step aboard - cool box, music, a quiet cove if the wind allows.
Company days
Weekday charters for teams who need salt air more than a conference room. Off-season rates from October. Invoiced properly, with VAT.
A day on the water,
told the honest way.
We are a small private crew. The route flexes with the wind and the crowds. This is what a good full day often looks like when Malta cooperates.
08.40
Meet at the harbour
Coffee on the quay if you want it. Bags go aboard, introductions are short, and we talk through the wind for the day.
10.15
First swim, quiet water
We aim for a cove that still has room to breathe. Snorkels out, ladder down, no queue for the deck.
13.00
Lunch at anchor
Your food, or a Maltese platter we arrange. Shade up, music low, the boat rocking like a hammock.
16.30
Blue Lagoon, finally
When the day boats thin out, we slip in. The water looks like the photographs. That is the whole point.
18.45
Home under gold light
Cliffs on the port side, Valletta catching the last sun. Photos already on your phone by the time we tie up.
Swipe through the day.
An Azimut 60 Sport,
looked after like family.
Italian-built, eighteen and a half metres, and quick enough to make Gozo a morning rather than a day. We run one boat. That means the same hull, the same crew, and photographs that will match what you step onto - once our own shots replace these placeholders.

Shade when you want it. Ladder when you are ready. Space enough that twelve still feels like a party of friends.
Malta from the water,
the way we chase it.
Placeholder photography for now. When we launch, every frame here will be our boat, our guests, our islands - dated, current, and honest.
Where the day
usually goes.
Nothing here is fixed. These are the waters we know best, and the order changes with the wind.
The Blue Lagoon, at the right hour
Everybody goes. Almost everybody goes at the wrong time. We take you at either end of the day, and spend the middle in Crystal Lagoon and the caves on the south side, where the tour boats cannot follow.
September is the secret.
Warmest sea, fewer boats.
Most visitors leave with the school holidays. The water keeps the heat. If you want Malta looking marvelous without the midday circus, this is when a small private boat earns its keep.
| Month | Air | Sea | Visitors |
|---|---|---|---|
| July - August | 31°C | 25°C | Peak |
| September | 28-30°C | 26°C | 40-50% fewer |
| October | 24°C | 23-24°C | Quiet |
Three ways to takethe boat.
Every one is private to your group. Prices are for the whole boat, not per person. Pick a length - we plan the joy.
09.00 - 17.00
Full day
€2,200
The length of the coast. At thirty knots Gozo is close enough to be a morning. Comino, the caves, and two or three swim stops chosen for where the water is calm that day.
Up to 12 guestsAsk about this day
09.00 - 13.00
Half day
€1,400
One crossing and two swim stops. The sensible choice with small children, or when you want the afternoon ashore in Valletta.
Up to 12 guestsAsk about this day
17.30 - 20.30
Evening
€950
Three hours along the cliffs with a swim while the sun drops. The best light of the day, and almost no other boats still out.
Up to 12 guestsAsk about this dayA full day split between ten guests is €220 each. October and shoulder-season full days are €1,800.
What the price

Three things we put in writing
before you pay anything.
Nothing on board
One price, agreed before you board. If anyone asks you for a single euro on the water, the day is free. No fuel surcharge, no awkward cash at the end.
Weather
If the sea is too rough to enjoy, you choose: another day this season, or your money back. We make the call by eight the evening before so you can plan something else.
Quiet water
We will find you somewhere to swim away from the crowds - and if we cannot, we say so before you book. Some days the wind decides. Honesty beats a pretty lie.
People remember the skipper.
We intend to be that person.
Read the reviews of any boat in Malta and you will notice guests do not remember the length overall. They remember who found the quiet water, who timed the Blue Lagoon, who made the kids feel safe on the ladder.
You will know ours before you book - name, years on these waters, and which bay he prefers when the north-west wind gets up. Small operation. Personal stake in whether you have a good day.
Skipper's name, years of experience, Boatmaster certification and one line in his own words - to be filled before launch.
Straight answers.
No small print.
No. Every charter comes with a licensed skipper who drives the boat. You need no licence and no experience - just a willingness to get wet if the water looks good.
Never. Every charter is private to your group. You set the pace, and nobody is waiting on you to get back aboard.
Of course, and we will - but we will time it. Early morning or late afternoon, rather than midday when there are forty other boats at anchor.
No. The sea in September is the warmest it is all year, at around 26°C, and it holds 23-24°C through October, while most visitors leave in early September. That is our favourite window.
We decide by eight o'clock the evening before. If the sea will not be enjoyable, you choose between another day this season or a full refund.
Yes, whatever you like - there is a cooler on board. Or we will put on a Maltese platter at €18 a head. Bring the wine. We will bring the corkscrew.
Send us your dates and how many of you there are. We confirm the date and the price in writing, and send you the skipper's name along with what to bring. No deposit until the date is agreed.
Us. This is a small private operation, not a call centre. The person who helps plan your day is the same crew who will be on the boat.
Tell us your dates
and how many of you there are.
We are small, so we reply like humans - usually the same day, often within the hour - with the price in writing and the name of your skipper.
