We had amazing time today with Pio he was very friendly,we had a relaxing time and a very enjoyable,I would recommend hiring again and when we come back to malta again I would book two days I didn't want to get off. Thank you Pio for a lovely day.
We had a very great time with Pio. I really recommend everyone to spend a fantastic day with him.
An unmissable experience in Malta! We were very lucky to book a charter with Pio during our week in Malta. It was such an unforgettable experience which I would highly recommend to anyone looking for something a bit different. Pio took us to many of the hotspots as well as a few places off the beaten track, we even managed to have a swim in some of the turquoise waters which we really enjoyed. We couldn’t have asked for a more welcoming, knowledgable host than Pio. He was able to tell us a lot of stories about the island as as well as Gozo and Comino, both of which we sailed past during our charter. The boat itself was impeccable clean and well maintained with a spacious area to lounge while you watch the waves. There’s also a kitchen and bathroom which were handy for our 8-hour day. A big thank you to Pio for making our trip to Malta even better!
We had an absolutely fantastic day sailing around the Maltese islands with Pio! He was not only a skilled skipper but also a knowledgeable guide who shared fascinating insights about Malta's history and culture. His friendly and welcoming demeanor made us feel right at home. The boat was comfortable and well-maintained, providing the perfect setting for a relaxing day on the water. We enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere, stunning scenery, and the opportunity to explore hidden coves and beaches. If you're looking for a memorable experience in Malta, we highly recommend booking a sailing trip with Pio. He's a true gem!
A m a z i n g! We spent a whole day at the boat and loved every second of it. Truly friendly and professional host Pio! Thank you so much!
Absolutely lovely day out on the water with Pio what a nice guy. Lovely boat all very clean and super comfy very chilled out cruise around , lots of local swimming spots Pio is such a nice guy you will not regret booking him and his lovely boat for a day trip He definitely made it one of our favourite days out here in Malta Thank you Paul Kathryn and Flo
Super day at the great salingwessel Storm 2 Pio is a fantastic host and captain 🙏👨✈️😀😀
Really nice. Pio was a great guest
My family of four, including our 18 and 19 year old children, had a lovely relaxing day sailing with our skipper Ray who showed us some lovely places to swim and told us all about Malta. We got to help sail the boat home at the end of the trip too which was awesome. Would definitely recommend it.
Pio was an excellent captain and made sure me and my friend had an excellent day out on the boat. Even had a speaker for us to play music and prepared some amazing food and snacks for us to enjoy. I recommend Pio for all your sailing needs.
PIO is fantastic Captain with big smile It was outstanding day for us I am recommended PIO and his sailboat for everyone especially families PIO gives all equipment to use during the sailing For recommendation 10/10 Aleksandar Matic Serbia
Perfect day!! Pio treated us really well and taught us the most interesting things about malta and amongst other things! Very recommended! Thank you Pio
We loved our trip with Pio, it was a great experience!
We had a great time on the boat and I highly recommend!
Pio was super nice and an amazing guide. His boat is clean and spacious. We had a great trip and I highly recommend his services. Overall we had a great experience and trip.
Great boat and skipper - Pio is a pleasure to sail with. Would book again.
Thank you for a wonderful experience, kindness and expertise! See you again!
We passed a good moment with Pio . Thank you very much
The entire experience was excellent. Pio is extremely nice and kind and the boat is great too. We had a very lovely time and we strongly recommend Pio & his boat! Thank you!
Pio is a very nice, welcoming and fun Skipper. We had a great time at sea and felt very safe.
Could not have been a better and more enjoyable experience. We spent our first day in Malta with Pio on his boat, and it was excellent. So glad we selected Pio and that the weather was great. We would book another trip with Pio in a heartbeat. A+++
We had an amazing day! Pio was a wonderful captain and guide. Would highly recommend.
all the trip was perfect
Right from the booking to the sailing day, Pio was very reliable with high level communication. Coming to Malta for the first time and hoping to surprise my partner with this experience , Pio made our stay & my partner’s birthday forever a memorable experience. Even going beyond my expectations to offer nibbles and a bottle of wine to mark this special occasion. It was not only refreshing and cosy but we also felt welcomed all the time. We spent a whole day with Pio and he kindly took us to see the Blue Lagoon near Comino where we stayed for a bit and enjoyed some pleasant time together. Pio is very easy to talk to and we had a good laugh together. Pio showed us many beautiful spots and commented on the history of the islands. He was also very respectful when we wanted to chat just me and my partner. Pio really made this experience special and I’m happy he’ll be part of my birthday memories (my partner’s remarks). Everything is as it is shown in the pictures and the Bavaria boat(storm 2 - code name I learned Pio use) is in excellent condition. Looking for that memorable sailing experience with a highly capable captain, Pio is your go to guy. Great customer service speaks for itself, but when the service is naturally delivered from the heart , words will never suffice. Thank you Pio. Highly recommend!!!
Thank you Pio! It was a very fun and exciting trip. I would definitely recommend Pio to anyone. You can tell it's his passion and he told us everything about the island. You can joke around with him and enjoy the boat trip. Even when my mother-in-law got seasick, he reacted really well and helped immediately. Thank you very much Pio, it was nice to meet you.
We had the best day, we all loved the boat trip and it was our highlight for Malta. It was essential to see everything from the boat as it is the best way to see cliffs and beautiful places like the blue lagoon. Pio was the best, extremely attentive and friendly and we loved the boat!
A fantastic charter with Pio! He really took care of us, the boat is very clean and well-kept, and also great use of facilities onboard. Thanks for a great time out at sea
The trip was truly magical! Thank you, Pio, for bringing us to these breathtaking views and for your kindness and professionalism. We fully enjoyed the day out in sea and would definitely do it again. Sea you soon, Pio!
Une journée en dehors du temps, belles discussion agréables, but it's better to speak in english but it's not a problème it was really cool thanks a lot !
Thank you Pio! It was a amazing day. You’ve been a great captain!
We had a great day with Pio! Very gentle guy, told us some nice facts about Malta! We went snorkling and had even a pizza delivery on the boat itself!
Perfect and very welcoming.
We had such a great time with Pio. He was very accomodating, great to talk to and very welcoming. We had so much fun swimming around the island. It was a perfect day!
Pio has been so helpful prior to our trip. Great communication and quick response. Our skipper Kenneth was knowledgeable and experienced. Highly recommended!
We had a great time Really enjoyed it
We enjoyed a beautiful relaxing day on this boat and will definitely be back. Very pleasant experienced skipper and great company. Thank you for having us :)
We had a very nice day! No problems at all. Pio is a great guy, very easy-going.
Fantastic day out with Pio. Really knowledgeable when we asked about island landmarks. Really relaxing day out.
Pio was the perfect host on a lovely, spacious yacht. It was a beautiful days sailing. Thank you so much, Pio!
Pio and Kenneth were wonderful. We sincerely enjoyed our day on Pio's boat. We were able to arrange a light lunch and drinks which made the day especially wonderful.
Great expirience! We recomend Pio and his boat with great pleasure!
Had the most wonderful time on our day boat trip. We were welcomed by Pio who showed us the boat and introduced us to the skipper Kenneth. Both Pio and Kenneth were very welcoming and attentive. It was my birthday so they prepared a bottle of prosecco which was very sweet of them. We had a lot of fun and Kenneth took us to various swimming spots and taught us some Maltese history. I would recommend everyone hiring a boat for a day trip to see Malta especially the boat from Pio :)
Very nice skipper and great host! The boat is exactly as in the picture. Worth it!
Pio and the skipper Kenneth were amazing. Kenneth was very nice, he told us all about the history of the island and we went to very nice spots. We had so much fun I highly recommend it.
Despite the fact that weather was not quite good, Pio made our trip as best as possible. Chatting was so easy and vine delicious. Pio is professional and each trip with this boat will be excellent! Already planning to return to Malta to take second chance and get full coastline trip!
Pio is a great skipper and a very nice guy who gave us the opportunity to visit several beautiful spots in Malta. He’s a great cook too who made delicious pasta for us :-) The only small inconvenience was the back seats canopy that couldn’t be removed because of the mounted solar panels on top. Overall a really enjoyable boat trip, highly recommended…
Many thanks to Kenneth who took us everywhere safely throughout the day and made the trip very informative. It was a beautiful day!
Pio was amazing from start to finish. Took our booking on short notice and had excellent communication from the outset. The boat was lovely and Pio was so friendly and knowledgeable throughout. We were a family of 5 with my parents and Pio was especially kind and helpful towards my mother which we really appreciated - a true gentleman. Would absolutely go for a trip with Pio again if we find ourselves in Valetta in the future. Highlight of our holiday!
It was a fantastic experience. Pio is an excellent skipper and we had a very good time. Storm 2 is a beautiful sailing boat with all the amenities and we had a lot of fun.
Great experience! Pio was very friendly and we had an amazing time!
Amazing trip! Pio’s skipper, Kenneth was knowledgable of the islands and we had a great time.
The charter was exceptional! Pio is an amazing captain and host. The boat was clean, with all necessary amenities. Will definitely be booking a charter in the near future.
Nice sailing experience. We crewed the boat and practiced the main maneuvers. It was a lovely day trip to Comino.
Wonderful wonderful wonderful! Can’t wait to go back and do it all over again. Pio is incredibly caring and extremely responsive! Loved this so much!
We rented the boat for one day. The trip was great. We had a lot of fun and enjoyed it very much. The skipper Pio was welcoming and pleasant. He is very knowledgeable on the area and advised on the best marina to stay for the day. We felt welcomed. The yacht was clean and comfortable. Excellent value for money. Thank you Pio, you made our day.
It was a great experience, the skipper was a true professional and knew how to work the sailboat and interesting things about the island. We all had a great time at sea and would repeat the experience the next time we come to Malta. Thanks guys!
AMAZING boat trip with our Skipper Kenneth! Can really recommend Pio and his crew. So polite and hospitable.
The perfect day! Pio is the best skipper you can have! The boat is amazing, way much better that you can see in the pictures. We recommend it 100% to have an unforgettable day.
just a perfect day..as it has to be...
Pio is the best skipper there is. He is very friendly, social person, a pleasure to have him as a guide. Boat was clean and spacious to accomodate 6 to 8 persons. We will recommend him for sure and we will use his services if we come back to Malta.
Our wonderful Pio is a pure sea soul. Very professional, kind, open and friendly. It was a double pleasure to sail with Pio and on his boat which fully lived up to our expectations. We really liked the charter to the restaurant that Pio booked for us and, contrary to expectations, affordable prices and very tasty food. I recommend the charter services from Pio with eyes closed. Thank You Pio!!!
We had a lovely day aboard Pio’s boat as a party of four. Pio is a very charming and easy-to-speak-to skipper, which is important for obvious reasons. Naturally he knows all the best places to visit and is safety conscious. The boat itself is very comfortable and has all the facilities you will need for a pleasant day’s cruise along the coast of Malta.
Perfect trip! Pio was a great skipper and mate ! Thanks a lot
Pio was absolutely marvelous. He was friendly and very welcoming. He pays great attention to our family interest and safety especially we came with our 2 year old toddler. The bpat was clean and well maintained and Pio was a very good skipper. Wonderful service, we will definitely come back to Pio again for the experience. Highly recommendable. Romeo amd family.
An amazing day spent with Pio and his boath! He is the nicest company, a true gentleman. He took us to the Blue Lagoon and to Mellieha Bay, very attentive of everything we needed. We will definitely book another ride soon!
Pio was amazing. I have done private boat trips in Malta before, and Pio was by far the most informative and kindest captain we have ever had. The boat was amazing and very clean. The bay we had planned to go to was too windy and Pio immediately decided to go to one further down even though a slightly longer journey. Couldn’t recommend more
Good day with Pio ☺️ who know where are good places !
Great day with Pio despite the wind. All family enjoyed so much! Crista bay at Comino Island was amaizing.
A very enjoyable charter indeed with a great skipper! Highly recommended and will surely book your services again
Pio was friendly and good company - reminded me of a friends dad!
We had a really great day on Pio’s boat! It’s very well kept and perfect for a day out exploring Malta. Pio himself was the perfect host - easy going, knowledgeable and even our onboard photographer at times! We will be back in the future :)
Thank you for a lovely day at Sea, Pio. Hope to meet you again and you are top of mind whenever we are looking for a day charter.
We had very good time onboard despite difficult weather conditions. Pio is a very nice host and a great skipper who per perfectly managed the situation! Thank you
We had a great time with Pio. He's an excellent skipper and personable, knowledgeable and easy to chat to. He made my daughter feel very welcome and had floats and a lifejacket available when she wanted to go in the water. Pio took us to more remote locations than the Blue Lagoon, which allowed us to gain a better experience in the water without numerous boats and jet skis flying past. We had a lovely lunch and another break together around two swimming sessions. The boat is lovely and spacious - perfect for any group between 3 and say 7/8 people. We had a great, relaxing day and I cannot recommend Pio highly enough. Superb!
We had a wonderful day charter with Pio. He is a great person and we enjoyed every moment on his boat. Will definitely recommend him to all my friends.
We had a fantastic time with Pio. His boat was safe, clean and well-maintained. Pio himself was an amazing host, a great conversationalist with a lot of recommendations for our holiday in Malta, and made us feel at home straight away. He also suggested a tour of the Grand Harbour which was one of the highlights of our day. We wouldn’t hesitate to go sailing with Pio again and warmly recommend to anyone.
Another exceptional day on Pio's boat! Complimenti al capitano! It was a very organised and enjoyable charter. We look forward to booking Pio again in the very near future.
Pio we welcomed the boat very well and is super clean and well appointed. I recommend you to spend a day at sea with him
Everything perfect! And Pio is awesome
Pio was such a charming host! The boat is in pristine condition and clean. We had such an amzing time and always felt safe and in good hands! We will definitely book another charter with Pio in the near future
Pio is a very professional skipper and a really nice gentleman. He made sure about our safety when the sea turned rough and returned mid way. Thoug
Pio is a great guy. Very nice and kind. He’s a passionate sea lover. Thanks.
The trip with Pio was wonderful. He is very nice and we felt very safe on his boat because of the ruff sea on this day. Thank you Pio for everything Peter & Family
We had a great day out stopping at Mellieha Bay to swim and Little Armier beach where we had lunch. Pio was very welcoming and attentive, and his boat is very comfortable. We would definitely recommend Pio, and hope to take another trip with him in the future !!!
Great day with pio and an excellent service through malta's bays
We had a very nice trip to coming islands. Pio was very nice and gave us a warm welcome. The boat is quite spacious and comfortable. Will definitely come back in summer and rent his boat again .
My friends and I had an absolutely lovely day with Pio! We set sail from Valletta and spent the day around Comino and the blue lagoon. Pio then took us to see some sites near Valletta. Pio was friendly, helpful, and accommodating throughout the booking process and all day on the water. We loved meeting Pio and would recommend this experience in a heartbeat!
Very satisfied! Very clean boat, a lot of space below deck; above deck seating arrangement is rather compact but the seats face the centre of the boat allowing for face to face communication. Space for sunbathing on the front of the boat. Pio,the skipper, is very friendly, and as gracious in person as he is in his text messages.
The quality of a day on a boat depends above all on the captain and Pio was more than perfect in this role, offering us a sumptuous day in a wonderful setting. A magical trip, off the beaten track and despite a capricious wind, this day will remain etched in our memories. The Bavaria was also very pleasant. Thanks again Pio
Pio is a very pleasant, reassuring and experienced captain. His boat is as advertised. I highly recommend
We came as guests and left as friends. We had a wonderful time with Pio on his boat. We will remember these experiences for a long time. Thank you Pio and hopefully see you next time.
Great trip!
Pio is a nice person. The boat is as described. However, it is more than a shame that they did not offer to cancel our day knowing the weather. Indeed, after 1 hour of clouds, the rain arrived and we turned around to return at 2:30 p.m. We did not enjoy anything and paid for a day that was supposed to end at 6 p.m. Christelle and Benoît Parmentier
We stayed at the marina every night and sailed only two days We are very disappointed
This experience was simply fantastic! The boat is clean and has everything you need, Pio was a kind, attentive, thoughtful and very friendly skipper. An experience that I enjoyed very much, that I will do again and that I recommend!
The day with Pio was fantastic! He answered all our needs and showed us beautiful places, excellent value for money, we recommend!
The super nice and kind boss made us spend a very nice day.
Communication with Pio has been very good, he has been very attentive and very flexible to our tastes. Your sailboat is beautiful, it has everything you need to spend a great day: refrigerator, bathroom, kitchen, bed... It also has a paddlesurf board and masks for diving. The trip is great, we went to Comino, Gozo and Blue Lagoon. A friend of Pio took us, who couldn't have been a better captain, very friendly, willing to help us with anything we needed. The truth is that it was a great day, if we return to Malta, we will choose Pio's sailboat again. Thank you very much for yesterday!! :)
Chartering a sailing yacht was a fantastic experience! The yacht was well equipped, clean and comfortable. Pio is professional and helpful, and also extremely nice. It's the perfect way to spend your vacation on the water. We highly recommend it!
Highly recommended. Everything perfect, very good service and a great skipper on board.
We had a dream day with Pio that we will never forget. There is no one kinder or more accommodating than Pio. Everything was perfect. We loved every moment. We will definitely return one day. Grazzi hafna ❤️
We spent a wonderful day with my friends, full of fun and discovery. Pio's boat was a beautiful boat, very clean and with attention to detail. Pio is a caring, professional and friendly skipper. We will choose this experience again, with maximum confidence.
We were on Pio's boat for a hen party. Highly recommended
If you are looking for an unforgettable sailing experience with crystal clear waters in Malta, this is your boat! Captain Pio very professional and friendly. Thank you very much for everything, we enjoyed it very much, we will definitely return!
Pio and his boat are awesome. Great time spent with family. Pio is an extremely kind and open person. 1000% successful trip.
One of the best days spent here in Malta…Ken was very kind, he introduced us to the history of Malta and the bays he visited and kept us entertained throughout the trip ?
We had a very nice day on the boat trip with Pio! The boat was very nice and spacious and the contact with Pio was good. He also recommended a very nice restaurant for lunch, where we had a nice meal. It was a very nice day.
It was a generally good experience. The boat is perfect to have a good day: kitchen, seating area, paddle board... Pío is a very friendly person, with easy communication and helpful. However, we were unhappy with the sites visited on the tour. After an initial conversation in which we were informed that we would visit the island of Comino (as Gozo was far away), we stopped at beaches that were not what we were looking for: built-up, with many boats and easily accessible on foot. We show our interest again, but we end up visiting only crystal lagoon and another unknown and not so beautiful. In short, we did not visit Comino and we wasted time in places that did not contribute much. For all this and to enjoy the day on the boat and what Malta offers, we recommend confirming what you are going to visit before making the reservation and leaving the established route. As we have seen, going around the island of Comino would be the best.
I sincerely recommend this sailboat, for the welcome of Pio and the skipper, as well as for the course proposed, the many stories and anecdotes told by the skipper. The boat is very well maintained and well driven ?
Excellent boat. Professional and caring Kenet. Pil I request, polite.
Great day at sea!
Very friendly skipper. He told us a lot about the island during the trip. We can recommend him with a clear conscience.
Thanks to Pio for this quick day! He was able to respect our schedules, a great welcome!
Pio is a great host who knows the Maltese coastline perfectly. Highly recommended in every way
Wonderful day on the Storm 2! Pio was an impeccable captain and a very pleasant traveling companion. Highly recommended, great experience, to be repeated!
Pio proved to be very professional, friendly and good company. We had a wonderful day, repeatable experience. Marco
I spent a we with two friends on Pio's boat sleeping on board. The boat exactly matches the photos, we found it well kept in order and clean. Pio is an extremely kind person, always available to accommodate our requests. Absolutely recommended.
Pious person, exquisite and affable. very kind nice day
the tour was very nice, it's a pity we didn't visit more things. peep is very nice
Communication at the top and Pio was very accommodating
Nothing to say
