Yacht charter in Sliema · Fountaine Pajot — Lavezzi 40 (2003)

We had a great day onboard CHIQUITA!! Skipper is friendly and great sound system!!

It was a full pleasant day. Congratulations for the pilot, Iki, and his service. We would have liked to sail and on the way back it would have been possible but we did not do it. It is a pity to make a crossing on a catamaran all day with a motor.

I do not usually complain but having had experience of many catered boat tours previously the trip was poor and far below standard. At a cost of £1500 we expected much more. 1. The captain seemed ill prepared for our trip, hawlng bags , food trays and cool boxes onto the boat. We had arranged to be at the boat at 9:30 but arrived at 9:40 and was expecting all provisions etc. to have been on board by the time we got there. 2. Iqbal was very pleasant and a quiet host who worked very hard alone driving the boat and getting us there, allowing two stops for swimming and returning us. 3. There was no safety briefing or overview of the trip given once we boarded the boat. 4. There was no instruction re use of the toilet (no instructions not to put paper down the toilet). The toilet was not clean, had been used with feces left in it unflushed. 5. No drinks were served on arrival, or instruction we just took it that we were to help ourselves. 6. Iqbal did state he would prepare the food when we stopped. 7. 1st stop.Toys were provided noodles and a paddle board and we concluded we were in the blue lagoon area but hadn’t been told this. 8. The cutlery was chipped and plastic plates faded and the plastic beakers were obviously old and not ideal for wine. 9. The outside table had a white plastic stained cover on and appeared unclean. 10. The bbq was started and sausages, chicken and ribs cooked. There was no salad, we had to chase up the pan of rice that we had seen on the stove earlier. Everything came out separate and was disorganised 11. Iqbal was a good boat driver but his hosting, entertaining and catering ability were none existent. Too much to ask of one person maybe ? I was surprised that he was alone trying to provide all of this as there were 12 of us. 12. There was no service, no tour guide information about the local area, points of interest or stopping locations. 13. The photos of the boat were misleading and should be regarded as false advertising. In fact I believe they were taken a long time ago when the boat was new. 14. The kitchen was in disrepair and there was no door on the oven. Your boat was shabby and neglected. 15. We connected our phones to Bluetooth and played our music. We as a group of 12 friends made the best of it and entertained ourselves. 16. There was enough wine, beer and soft drinks provided. We helped ourselves from the cool box plastic wine glasses would have been nice.. Reading your reviews it appears that you have hosted previous tours. Iqbal on his own, with no catering, hosting, tour guide or entertainment experience was definitely inadequate. Is it even safe and legal to have one person to host 12 people on a vessel this size? I was bitterly disappointed with the food presented on this trip. As the organiser I feel embarrassed and responsible for this sub standard boat trip. Paula

Skipper was good, boat too. The boat not so clean And we did not get the BBQ as mentionned in the offer. A bit expensive for what we get but a good day.

Everything went perfectly well. The boat was great and our skipper very nice. We had a great day.

What a great day. 9 of us spent a brilliant day with captain Ben aboard Chiquita. We visited three bays, played on the SUP and had a great barbecue. Ben was brilliant a super helpful. Thank you.

Very professional

We had an amazing day on the boat for our friend’s hen do party! The crew was amazing, they brought us to a quiet and stunning spot to spend the day and made sure we enjoyed our day! I 100% recommend them!!

It has been a blast. Thanks to the amazing team around. Highly appreciated.

Very nice skipper, all good and it was fun! 👌

Amazing day on Charlie's boat ! My most memorable day in Malta thank you for everything

We had such a great day at sea with skipper Ben, thank you so much! Great communication with Charlie and such a lovely welcome upon our arrival

We had an amazing day thanks to the great communication with Charlie before the day of our booking, and thanks to Ben, our skipper on that day. He took us to a very nice spot for snorkelling and swimming which as not crowded, perfect to relax and enjoy the day, and we also had fun trying paddle surf for the first time. Overall, it was a great day. We'll repeat it again for sure!

The four day trip with the catamaran was just great, the communication with Charlie and Zak was perfect from the beginning and Zak was a great captain who responded to all our wishes and made us have a wonderful time. We can always recommend the catamaran and the crew! Thanks for everything, it was great!

Had an amazing trip among the Maltese islands with Zak the skipper who did everything to make our trip happy and fun and he went over and beyond his skipper duties and even cooked an amazing barbecue. Happy time!

We were 8 people on the boat with room to spare. We were warmly welcomed by Charlie and our skipper Zack. All in all an amazing day. Many thanks!

We had an amazing time on Charlie's boat. Communication from the get go was swift. He answered all my questions and was even kind enough to arrange a cab to pick us from the hotel to the Marina. The boat was big and spacious with enough room for all 15 of us. We connected our phone to the boats bluetooth and we grilled some lunch using Charlie's grill. We had so much fun we didnt want the day to end. Charlie is extremely patient and he didnt say no to any of our reasonable requests. Thanks alot.

Great boat, fantastic value. Ben, our skipper, was a brilliant host. All-in-all a really good day out. There was no wifi on board (which was advertised). It shouldn't make much of a difference unless you need to stream music. Will be back!

We had a wonderful trip on the catamaran! The skipper + crew were really awesome. Thanks for the wonderful day!

Ben was magic, the best - we had the best day, we will do it again

Enjoied the day out with Charlie. Very nice day

10 of us had a great day thanks to Ben and Peter our crew. They brought us to some great spots around Comino and Gozo for swimming and snorkelling. We were able to bring food and drink on board and put everything in the cooler. Had our own music connected to the boat speakers with bluetooth. Couldn't have asked for much more. Overall, a really chilled out time for a large group of friends. Would recommend to anyone looking to sail around Malta, Comino & Gozo for a day who wants to avoid overcrowded public tour boats and overcrowded spots for swimming etc.

We had a great time. Can highly recommend, so nice captain and crew, the boat was fantastic and overall the best boat day you can have in Malta.

Thank you Charlie for a fantastic day for our family! Great boat, and you and Adrian were great hosts, looking after us so well and making the day so memorable for us and our children! Hope to sail with you again!

Great service and amazing experience

we had a really nice day. nothing to complain about.

It all starts with great communication with Charly, always very helpful and answering very quick. Our skipper was Bennie and he was wonderful with us! The boat was amazing, huge and just like the pictures! Charly explains everything that you need to know and he makes u feel very relaxed and comfortable during the day on the boat. Our skipper Bennie was very patience, always helpful and explaining the locations we were in. Definitely an amazing experience and if you have the opportunity to go to Malta and want to rent a boat, THIS should be the one! Thank you again!

Exceptional day spent with the utmost comfort and with the best on-demand stops. The crew was very helpful and the BBQ incredible! Absolutely recommend

We had an absolutely fabulous time on Chiquita. Charlie and Adrian were so accommodating and we were able to see the beautiful sites of the blue lagoon and Malta and enjoy ourselves to our hearts content. Would thoroughly recommend booking. Fabulous boat and amazing crew. Five stars all round.
