“We really enjoyed this boat trip. Having shopped around a bit we wanted something where it was relaxed and not too over crowded. 32 people on an 80ft Catamaran meant lots of room, including stretching out on the bean bags on the trampoline. Saw many boats around us chock full of people and pumping music and were very pleased to be on ours. Lovely Maltese snack and lunch plus cold rose all day and two excellent swim spots. Very chilled with nice company and friendly Captain and crew. Highly recommend”

“Likes: quick catamaran trip getting there. Could be improved: - allowing the passengers to choose return time, we were automatically booked for 8.45 pm return and although we queued for an earlier return the availability was not there, even of we had a booking we queued with the people that did not have any tickets. The queue was awful, the organization was not there, there were fights between other passengers… please book your own boat trip - the hop on hop off was not great. It is limited in hours so if you want to return to some attractions there are limited times you can get back to it. There…”
