Ian is super nice and available. We visited all the beautiful spots and we are really satisfied with the experience.
My clients had an amazing time on your boat. Everything was perfectly arranged and they loved how friendly and helpfull you were.
We had a wonderful day on Ian’s boat and enjoyed touring around Malta and swimming in the spectacular sea. Our family of 5 had a great time and Ian was a terrific skipper and host.
We had an amazing day with Ian, the boat was beautiful and really clean and ian took care of everything so well. Ian gave us many options for the day so that we could see and do what we wanted.
Ian was an awesome skipper, very friendly and professional. We had a blast sailing to Comino. Ian took us to all the best locations around Comino; he navigated his sailboat safely to specific spots that allowed everyone to enjoy the water. We learned a great deal about the history of Malta from Ian. The sailboat is very spacious, clean, and well-maintained. We highly recommend Ian and his boat to everyone! 10 out of 10 stars!
Good person I love the hostoric good service love the view recomedate 100%
In short, 5 stars out of 5! This boat trip was our best day spent in Malta, only thanks to the beautiful, perfectly kept boat and the wonderful host. We spent the day enjoying the best views Malta has to offer, and got a great tan after jumping into the water. A personal thank you to the host, Ian, for sharing Malta’s history, creating a great atmosphere and making us feel at home. As for the boat, it was very spacious and convenient to sit and talk, tan and enjoy the trip. All in all, the host made it easy to book and we as a group recommend 100%! Best deal in Malta😉
Ian was the perfect skipper, very gentleman. Even if the journey wasn’t the best about weather(happens) we really enjoy every single minute! Highly recommended!
We had a really great time. The wind was Force 5 going on to 6. First we sailed from ta' Xbiex up North to get a true sailing experience and then we went south to Il-Hofriet where we swam in the turquoise lagoon. Ian was very nice and informative, giving us info about the different sails, winds, ropes etc. We spent a really nice day with him and the boat was a very nice one with all commodities :)
Ian was really professional from the first moment when I booked the boat. He was available on board to let us enjoy the sailing. To who was interested he also explain something about wind and sailing. We also saw a dolphin going to blue lagoon. I advice him for sure.
It was a perfect time at Ian's boat. Everything was easy and well organized. Ian was a very friendly skipper. We enjoyed every second of the trip.
The best experience we had on our entire vacation. All 9 people really enjoyed spending the day at sea, jumping from the boat, docking in bays and going snorkeling. The skipper, Ian, was extremely nice and accommodating and had lots of interesting things to say about Malta's history and everything else. I can only warmly recommend this trip to everyone. I would book her again at any time.
My family and I had a wonderful day on the boat with Ian. Our Skipper satisfied us in everything and during the tour of the most beautiful beaches of Malta he told us the history of the island and its traditions. At our request we visited uncrowded places, even though it was Sunday. I recommend it to everyone
Indescribable day spent on the boat with lots of fun and beautiful places !! Many thanks again for everything!
Day spent on this splendid sailing boat with the skipper Ian, a helpful and nice person. We agreed on the itinerary together at the start, everything was perfect. Highly recommended also for the charisma of the skipper. Thanks Ian, see you soon!
Frankly great day 10h 18h to Visit the paradisiacal places of bathing. The owner likes to share the stories of his island with a very pleasant enthusiast. Thank you for this unforgettable day.

I have sailed since I was 10 years old and after several years racing I eventually bought my own keelboat in 1990. I obtained my Master (local licence for ALL vessels Commercial and private) in 2004. Radio Operator licence and all STCW ancillary courses. Worked as captain aboard a local day cruise 58m passenger ferry with a capacity of 650 passengers. Eventually obtained my Yachtmaster Offshore (Sail & Power) (RYA) in 2008 in Poole UK. I followed this by obtaining my RYA Instructor Cruise and Power Certification in 2014.I am now an RYA Sail and Power instructor. I like mechanics and also posess an engine driver (local) certificate. I prefer sailing and now own 2 boats, a 30 foot Beneteau First and a Beneteau Oceanis 40. I have done 6 Middle Sea Races, the last being in 2015. I also do deliveries for boat owners.
