What This Experience Offers

This day trip on a private catamaran in Malta is a chance to see the coastlines from a different perspective—open sea, plenty of space, and a crew dedicated to making your day special. We loved the idea of sailing along Malta, Comino, and Gozo, as these regions boast some of the most striking Mediterranean scenery. The boat, a Bali 4.0, is designed to maximize comfort and style, with a unique open-space concept that blends indoor and outdoor living seamlessly.

The Boat: Bali 4.0 Design and Comfort

The Bali 4.0 is a standout in the world of sailing vessels. Its open-plan design means the interior and exterior zones flow into each other, with large sliding glass doors connecting the saloon and cockpit. This not only enhances panoramic views but invites plenty of natural light, making the space feel bright and inviting. We appreciate that this layout encourages socializing with friends or family, whether lounging on the deck or relaxing indoors.

The flybridge is another highlight—offering a commanding view for navigation and a perfect spot for toasting the scenery. The interior finishes are contemporary and elegant, with high-quality materials that scream “luxury.”

The experienced skipper is included in the package, ensuring safe navigation and expert local insights. The crew’s attentiveness is often praised; they cater to your needs whether that’s helping with paddleboard use, snorkeling gear, or simply keeping the drinks flowing (unlimited mineral water is onboard). You can bring your own food or select a catering menu—giving you complete control over your culinary experience.

The itinerary starts and ends at 34 Ir-Rampa Ta’ Xbiex, a convenient location for most travelers. The day includes sailing along the coastline, with potential stops at scenic spots like Comino’s famous Blue Lagoon or other picturesque bays.
