Worth it! Spacious boat, was really able to lounge and chill. I saw the other boats, yes cheaper but i could see its crowded and we probably wouldnt enjoy it as much. Theres also optional lunch which was okay, and bar where you can order drinks on board!

It was a great experience! The catamaran was clean and well stocked, the crew was helpful and made the experience fun! Highly recommend for anyone who wants to tour the Maltese islands.

Good expirience. Had plenty of time to enjoy the sea and the place was stunning. Also very interesting detail about the area shared by the guide during the transfer by boat. Recommend

The program was really cool, worth every penny! What could be improved: higine within the boat.

Well organized,, start to finish. Excellent BBQ meal. Staff very friendly.
