boat hire in Malta · Nouva Jolly — 700xl (2021)

All was great. Boat was great. Booking process. Finding and meeting the owner Daniel and getting introduced to the boat was great. The weather was fantastic we went immediately to north of Gozo then came back opposite way blue lagoon which was very busy had a look there then anchored at Crystal bay which was as it sounds also much quieter. Proceeded back to starting place taking a look in almost every bay and port on the way home. Only 4 of us on the boat so lots of space for all of our gear and very comfortable. Weather and conditions were mostly calm. Boat for me was best I've driven so far. Only very small downside was that I expected based on some initial conversation the fuel would be cheaper. However this turned out to be more communications issue because when I found the capacity of the fuel tank and the amount I used which was just under half tank for our trip then multiplied by the fuel price it was in fact fair. I would recommend this boat and Daniel, if I go back to Malta I'd use again myself 100%.

Daniel, met us promptly and gave quick but thorough explanation of the boat's specifics and we off for 8 hours. Daniel arrange a quick stop at a friend's restaurant on Gozo. We saw many of the highlighted sights. Best day ever on the water. If you are on the of wheter to book or not, just do it!

Daniel is a very good and helpful man , the rib was in a very good condition and modern

Best day of our holiday, the boat drives like a dream and the sights are amazing. David was lovely and very helpful!

Due to strong winds They agreed to move the date from Thursday to Friday. We were happy about it. The boat is new, clean and well maintained. However here is what didn’t work well at all - the captain is sweet man but unfortunately he doesn’t speak any English so it was difficult to communicate - the agreed time was 09:00 to 18:00 but due to the day change they first postponed the departure to 10:00 and then at 4 pm they informed us that they had another charter at 5pm. So 2 hours less with not even a penny of reduction on the agreed price - the final disappointment is the petrol extra cost: instead of 60 eur, they charged 140 eur !!! because from Comino we asked to have lunch in Xlendi (Gozo) which is only 20% of distance more. With the maximum extra cost, the total price should have been 90 eur (50% more) but they charge over 130% more. It was not even possible to argue without communication - the captain was very skilled but he was driving too fast and not caring much of the comfort or about the safety of the children
