Beautiful day - My friends and I spent a wonderful day aboard the Fernandes II. Departure at 10 am from Silema with stop at Blue Lagoon and Gozo (with stop for snorkeling). At Blue Lagoon there is the possibility to add a short excursion to the caves with smaller boats for 15€. Good buffet, with both hot and cold proposals (chicken, couscous, cold pasta, ...) During navigation the captain acts as “guide” of the island in both English and Italian. Then there is the music! Highly recommended!

Best day, great value, friendly staff, wonderful food - Fantastic Day! From start to finish this was an amazing day. We were welcomed on board. (Best to arrive early so you get the best location) We had a snack as we set off to the blue lagoon. There was wine, beer and water. We arrived in the blue lagoon. Which is breathtaking! We took the optional speed boat cruise which was great fun and then arrived back for a wonderful lunch. We then had a swim before setting off to Gozo for another swim. Then another snack and fruit during the journey home. The captain was informative the staff polite. Worth every penny!!

Fab Day on the Water - Fabulous boat trip, lots of things to suit everyone. Amazing team who made you feel so welcome, at ease and well looked after from moment stepped aboard! Free flowing drinks including soft drinks, snacks and tasty lunch all included. Sights to make you go "wow", swimming opportunities so you can cool off. All round one of the best and value for money boat trips we have been on. Made more special as it was my husbands 60th birthday and we got to celebrate it with him doing one of his favourite things!

Relaxing and Fun Experience on Fernandes II – Worth It! - At first, we were a bit skeptical because of some of the mixed reviews, but as soon as the trip started, we could already tell it was going to be a great day. We were on the FERNANDES II and It has two levels and plenty of space to sit or lie down, which made the whole experience much more comfortable. It’s important to arrive early - we got there around 9:15 AM and had the freedom to choose where to sit, which made a big difference. We were really happy with our spot in shade. The crew was super friendly, relaxed, and always ready to help, which added to the laid-back vibe of the trip. Lunch was simple but more than enough in quantity. It's not fine dining, of course - but for a boat trip, it was just right. The tour itself was calm and relaxing, with swimming stops at the famous Blue Lagoon and a more secluded bay with fewer crowds, which we really appreciated. We especially enjoyed jumping off the boat into the crystal-clear water - there are ladders on both sides, so it was easy to get back in. Honestly, the Blue Lagoon being crowded didn’t bother us at all because our personal items and towels were in the boat all the time. We're a young married couple and overall, we had a fantastic time. We would definitely do this trip again!

Best trip!! - I have no idea what these other reviews were chatting about, there was so much space and we arrived at 9:45pm, if you want space for you and your 4 kids then arrive earlier simple as that. The food was amazing and the drinks were so free flowing! The team onboard were amazing and so accommodating! I feel the other reviews are a bit Karen but I cannot recommend this trip more!! Thank you all onboard!

Good experience and lots of sun. - The boat well maintained, the food well, the staff very friendly. Captain's explanation fine, good music. There's no place to sit, no shade. Fantastic places visited.

Disappointed Trip!!!! - The transfer didn’t picked us , so a bad start!!! Delayed in departure, little time in Blue Lagoon, Last stop was 1h swim in a deep bay , food only chicken legs and fish fillets Open bar only soft drinks , wine and beer. Takes long to reach spots than stay in them. We was waiting over 40 minuts for our return transfer without assistance!!! Staff Amazing!!! I won’t recommend!!!!

Over priced, overcrowded but nice swimming - The bus that picked us up from the hotel was a single decker bus with tiny windows at 26 degrees Celsius at 9am. It was an extremely bumpy ride with sharp start and stops. Once we arrived to the boat it was clear that it was at full capacity and we 18 people would not have anywhere to sit. I enquired about this as I am 5 months pregnant and they said there was a seat inside for me and my husband. Unfortunately everyone else on our bus had to sit on the tiny floor space that was left. Very uncomfortable for the nice couple in their 70's from Leicestershire that we was chatting to on the bus. The staff on board the boat are lovely and friendly. We left them a tip. The views and swimming was lovely. For 75euros per adult i would not recommend it. Unless you are a solo traveller/ backpacker.

Fernandes 11th June Let Down - My dear friend booked this trip as a treat for our party of 4. We excitedly looked forward to a relaxing cruise taking in the fabulous views Malta has to offer. From the first observation of boarding the Fernandes it was clear the cruise was overbooked with no sitting space to be found. All of the 'mats' were occupied though despite this many of the guests resorted to laying out beach towels wHere they could, if there was an available stretch of deck it was occupied! Health and safety concerns aside our party gained a sense it was a case of 'Pack as many sardines' into the can as you can at the expense of a memorable and relaxing excursion. The scenery was undeniably breathtaking however the experience was not; over 7 hours of standing with limited ability to move around the Fernandes. Crew failed to police the issue of guests claiming space by stretching out beach towels while they decided to hop off and spend time on Comino. Drinks choice was poor, so afraid to loose the plastic cup which regardless of the drink you chose was never changed. Would anyone find it unreasonable to replace a cup when moving to another drink? Was the cruise good value... unfortunately based on the experience of the cruise on 11th June the consensus of our party is no.

Malta, Fernandes tour. Avoid! - I'm Do not book the Fernandes cruise to Comino and Gozo. Announced on board that overbooked so STANDING ROOM ONLY for over 7 hours. Food quality poor and ran out as overbooked. At one point told bar closed yet advertised as unlimited. Very disappointing and wasted day. Staff rude. Major safety issues. Avoid at all costs
