Question 1

How does booking work?

Accepted Answer

Browse our available boats, pick a date, and submit a booking request. Your skipper reviews the request and confirms availability. Once accepted, we collect a deposit to secure your reservation. You then receive a confirmation with the meeting point and your skipper's contact details. The remaining balance is paid directly to the skipper on the day of the trip.

Question 2

What happens if the weather is bad?

Accepted Answer

Safety comes first. If conditions are unsafe for sailing, your skipper will contact you the evening before or early that morning. You can reschedule to another date or get a full refund through our weather-back guarantee. Visit our Weather-Back Guarantee page for full details on how it works, your options, and the refund timeline.

Question 3

What is included in the charter price?

Accepted Answer

Every charter includes the boat, a licensed skipper, fuel, and basic safety equipment. Many boats also include snorkeling gear, towels, and a cooler. Check each boat's listing for the full list of what's on board.

Question 4

Can children come? Is it safe for kids?

Accepted Answer

Yes, children are welcome on most boats. Life jackets in children's sizes are provided. Let your skipper know the ages of your group when booking so they can prepare accordingly. Some boats are better suited for families than others, so check the listing or message us if you need help choosing.

Question 5

What is the cancellation policy?

Accepted Answer

Free cancellation up to 48 hours before departure. Cancellations within 48 hours are non-refundable unless due to weather (covered by our weather-back guarantee). You can always reschedule instead of cancelling.

Question 6

How many people can fit on a boat?

Accepted Answer

It depends on the boat. Our fleet ranges from smaller vessels for 6-8 guests to larger boats that fit up to 12. Each listing shows the maximum capacity. For the best experience, we recommend staying a couple of guests below the max.

Question 7

What should I bring?

Accepted Answer

Sunscreen, a hat, sunglasses, a swimsuit, and a light towel. Most guests also bring snacks and drinks. Your skipper will have fresh water on board. We recommend reef-safe sunscreen to help protect Malta's marine life.

Question 8

Where do we meet?

Accepted Answer

The meeting point depends on the boat. Most departures are from Sliema or Msida. Your confirmation email will include the exact location with a map pin, and your skipper will message you the morning of the trip.

Question 9

Do I need to create an account to book?

Accepted Answer

No. You can book as a guest with just your email address. Creating an account lets you manage bookings, save favorites, and rebook faster next time, but it's not required.

Question 10

How far in advance should I book?

Accepted Answer

During peak season (June to September), popular boats can fill up 4 weeks ahead. For the best selection, book as early as you can. In shoulder season (April-May, October), a few days' notice is usually enough.
