We sailed as a family of 4 for the entire day with Michael from Sanglea to Comino and the Blue Lagoon! We had a fantastic experience and enjoyed a lot the day, the sailing and the wonderful company of Michael. He is a fantastic human being and an incredibly knowledgeable skipper! It felt like being with a friend known since a long time. He shared tens of stories of his past sailing experiences and adventures. Thanks for the great day and company Michael… from now on we will look forward the green flashing at the sunset and think of you! Wishing you all the best and good wind for your future adventures!
We absolutely had the BEST day with Micheal aboard NuShen. Such a warm, friendly, calm, funny and welcoming captain who made the day so enjoyable. Micheal has an incredible history aboard NuShen and his sailing life so stories flowed all day which was so interesting and captivating. The boat was clean and had plenty space to sit or lounge out in the Maltese sunshine. Lunch was lovingly prepared and just the perfect style of food for the day (and the heat!). I would highly recommend sailing with him any day. We’ll be back soon :)
Michael was a great captain, who made our trip unforgettable and one-of-a-kind. His knowledge of the island and sailing experience let us feel completely safe throughout the trip. Highly recommend!
Excellent service- highly recommend! Two families with children
What a brilliantly beautiful experience. Thank you so very much for your energy, the gorgeous lunch, and your expertise. You made our trip.
Michael hosted my husband and I for an amazing 2 night charter from Senglea up to Comino and then to Gozo. Unfortunately the winds weren’t in our favor but Michael made the best of it and truly gave us an unforgettable experience. He prepared delicious meals and provided great conversation. We absolutely recommend Michael and might book a longer charter with him to Sicily in the future.
I am a very experienced sailor and have sailed extensively in many parts of the world so my critique for our time on Nushen is based on hard experience . My wife and I want to thank Michael for his excellent yacht handling and local knowledge that led to to some fabulous days on the waters between Malta and Sicily on Nushen . Michael was an outstanding skipper and and great host with lots of knowledge and experiences to share . Nushen was in fine order and an excellent ocean capable yacht that Michael was understandably proud of and with lots of further upgrades planned into the future. We look forward to potentially travelling again on Nushen and with Michael into the future and recommend his services highly.
Such a wonderful experience! Michael was a great captain and great to chat to, we felt incredibly safe on the boat and in his hands. Lunch was delicious and perfect for a day in the water. He clearly put care and thought into every aspect of the meal. Couldn’t recommend enough!!
A fantastic day on NuShen, beautiful boat and Michael was a delightful skipper. Delicious lunch, highly recommended!
We had an amazing day with Captain Michael on his beautiful boat. Everything is very comfortable, and cozy but at the same time, it shines with adventure and makes you want to go around the world with this boat. We are people who have no experience in sailing, but our entire perspective on it has changed after these two days spent on the Nushen boat. We were anchored one night in a beautiful lagoon and ate delicious octopus salad and fresh tuna made by the Capitan. Not only Michael is a wonderful person, one of a kind, full of wisdom and so humble but he is also a crafted chef and we ate the most delicious meal. We are so grateful for this experience. We will remember this for the rest of our lives and can't wait for new adventures with Captain Michael on his beautiful boat Nushen.
The 3 day adventure with Michael on the NuShen was a great family memory and my father especially enjoyed the whole experience. Highly recommend this boat, skipper and adventure to anybody!
If I could give more than 5 stars I would. We chatted NuShen with Michael as our skipper for a 4 night charter and sailed around Malta and her islands. It was an unforgettable trip with too many magical moments to count. Michael is a very experienced sailor and knew where to visit and when to maximise enjoyment and minimise crowds. NuShen is a beautiful and comfortable sailing boat. We are well, slept well, swam well and sailed well and had the time of our lives. Thank you for a wonderful trip. We will be back.
Embarking on a thrilling 4 night adventure around Malta and its mesmerizing islands aboard a beautiful classic yacht was a dream come true for our family. Our exceptional host, Michael was warm, knowledgeable and very experienced in the region. He took us to stunning landscapes creating picturesque backdrops between sailing from one captivating destination to another. He was particularly inclusive and a great communicator with our teenage children. This extraordinary trip has forged unforgettable memories and strengthened the family's love for exploration and adventure.
Had a wonderful day sailing with Michael, a beautiful boat, perfect size for the 4 of us. Michael was so kind and accommodating. Would give more stars if I could! Thank you Michael!
Michael was an amazing host! Thank you for the good care you took of us!
If you’re looking for a relaxing day with a knowledgeable captain, you’ve found it. Michael communicated with me from my initial reservation until we departed from a relaxing day on his boat. The lunch he prepared was an added touch and learning about his family and travels was a delight. If you want a non commercialized day or multi day charter, you’ll enjoy this boat and it’s wonderful captain.
A fantastic day out. Thank you Michael! Communication in advance was great, and the welcome onboard and hospitality excellent.
We had a great week. Michael is an excellent skipper and great guy. Thanks for having us on your boat and showing us to the hidden secrets of Malta. It was really great- especially with a 2 and a 5 year old all over the place.
Michael was very engaging, knowledgable and the perfect host. He prepared a delicious lunch and we had a thoroughly enjoyable time on the day charter.
Absolutely perfect!
Michael was charming, considerate and full of great stories. He is a very experienced skipper that made us feel safe and pampered throughout the day. An excellent day out that we all loved. Thank you Michael!
We had the most wonderful day at Michael’s boat!! I would recommend the experience to anyone. It was the highlight of our trip to Malta. Thank you so much for everything Michael!!
Michael was amazing all day long. He showed us beautiful spot around Camino and Malta. I definitely recommend him for you next boat trip.
A real pleasure, Michael is really nice, and the boat is amazing. Great meal too.
Michael is a great host and experienced sailor. We had a great time with him. Thank you very much for the hospitality.
Michael was very kind and helpful. Easy to communicate with and he gave us nice places to visit during our 3 days trip. The boat was great and we had a wonderful days at the sea. We will definitely rent the boat again!
Michael was a very friendly and relaxed captain, and was very knowledgeable and super kind and understanding of our needs as a group (and we had a toddler with us). The only (minor) negative was that the cushions could have been a bit thicker and a slightly bigger shade for the seating area would have been ideal. That did not detract from the experience and we would book Michael again.
It was an amazing day on a wonderful boat. Michael is quite literally a legend. His experience and skill were obvious to see and the Nushen quickly felt like home. I can't recommend them enough and look forward to doing it again in the future.
Michael was a fantastic host and a superb and experienced captain. Very knowledgeable and friendly, with some great tales to regale us with on my brothers 50th birthday, it was a pleasure sailing with him. Thank you!
Had a lovely day sailing with Michael. He’s an experienced sailor and a great host. It was definitely the highlight of our trip to Malta. I would highly recommend!
A fantastic host and a superb captain. Very knowledgeable and friendly. It was a pleasure sailing with Michael today. Thank you Michael.
Wonderful few days spent on NuShen under the guidance and experience of Michael. Great host with a good knowledge of local waters. Both my wife and I were made to feel safe and comfortable and were welcomed onboard. We received a confident safety briefing and familiarisation of the boat and settled in well. Sailing was fantastic around the Maltese islands and our host ensured that we got the best out of the weather conditions. We were treated to homemade pasta and other hearty meals, which were generous in portion size and delicious in taste. Positioning the boat in the evenings meant we were sheltered and nights were pleasantly calm considering the windy conditions. The cabin is adequately sized and comfortable with all bedding provided. The host ensured our stay was relaxed and chilled. Many thanks Michael for the sailing experience and a pleasure to have made your acquaintance.
It was a great expirience and wonderful trip we had with Michael. He is a very experienced captain, very kind and communicative person. The boat is perfectly maintained and very comfortable. If you really would like to enjoy the sailing trip around Malta in interesting company, you should choose Michael and his NuShen ! I can strongly recommend both!
Michael is very nice host and a serious skipper. Unfortunately the sea was a bit agitated on the day of the trip. Some of us didn't take to it. He has been very helpful with the situation.
After a few issues with the boat, Michael sorted all our problems and we had a very enjoyable day. We will definitely do it again.
Michael is a wonderful host and you cannot imagine better skipper than him for doing a boat ride . He’s really friendly and clear on his advices , has a high sense of communications and passionating stories. He’s serving you a wonderful and tasty lunch done by his wife and stopping the boat in wonderful places where you can dive and swim . So to conclude, if you want to pick a skipper for a relaxing ride with friends and family , choose Michael and you will not be disappointed at all.
we had a perfect day on Michaels Yacht. He was very friendly, yelpful, relaxed and flexible. I have a sailing license and can tell he is very experienced. I learned a few things and got great tips from him. very happy. will stay in touch.
Michael took very good care about us and our kids. We didn't get what we expected. It was better. Thank you.
My friends & I had a lovely day out with Michael and his son. They were very welcoming and friendly. The lunch Michael provided was great & just what you want on a hot day out on the water. Great value for money, would definitely recommend and i will definitely be a returing customer if i came back to Malta in the future. Thanks Michael!
Michael was very welcoming and friendly we were on board and we could talk for hours
Spent a wonderful day on the pretty spacious yacht. Michael, the owner, is a very professional, talented and friendly man. He knows what he is doing, has had loads of experience and knows the best spots for swimming. We were able to use a dinghy and surfing board externally. He also offers food and snacks included in the price; everything was very well prepared and delicious! Would definitely recommend booking with him and shall definitely book with him again in the near future.
Michael's service was impeccable! The boat was very comfortable and clean. He impressed us with his ability and experience sailing across several continents. The cold lunch served on board (included!) was delicious. It was an amazing boat day!
