Great way to spend an afternoon in Malta. - Great crew, amazing stops and swimming. Only advice is to get on the boat early if you want a tanning spot on the deck, and bring a towel. Food was great, cave excursion was cool and the experience was great!

Amazing trip and amazing value. - Can't beat this trip for value, for sure. Having booked late (within 24 hours of departure) we made our own way to the vessel via a Bolt cab, avoiding any confusion over the included bus transport. We boarded the Fenandes around 0930 for a 1000 departure and the boat was already very busy. I suggest that you get there earlier if you want one of the 30 or so sun mats that occupy the fwd part of the boat. These had all been taken, which left the seating around the outside edge of the boat, that wasn't an issue for us. The skipper was very welcoming over the PA. I would estimate around 60-70 of us on the trip. Which felt about right. As soon as we departed the Skipper was keeping us updated with plans and timings. We left port and headed for Cominio. On route the crew came around and handed out cheese and ham rolls for everyone. There was plenty to go around. The bar is free all day for beer and soft drinks. The only chargeable items appeared to be cocktails or ice creams. We hadn't completed the going ashore at Comino forms, as that too needed to be done more than 24 hours prior. But that wasn't an issue as swimming at Comino was from the boat. We did step ashore very briefly for the optional 15Euro speedboat experience and the form wasn't required for that short transfer. The speedboat trip was good fun for the 20mins or so of blasting about and a quick look into a couple of caves. No regrets opting for that. The first swim stop for an hour at Blue Lagoon was stunningly beautiful. It is very popular / busy, but a must see. Lunch was served and there was so much food. We were even invited back for second helpings. After leaving Blue Lagoon we headed to Gozo and anchored off for another swim stop for another 1.5 hours, before heading back. Afternoon snacks included more rolls and plenty of fruit. The crew couldn't have been more helpful. All in all, a magical trip which was fantastic value. Remember your hats and sunscreen as the only place to get completely out of the sun is at the rear of the vessel and space there is limited. We returned to port around 1700. Plenty of time to absorb the stunning coastline on the return leg. A highly recommended trip.

A day to remember… - From arriving at the gullet the whole experience was fantastic!! The crew were all very polite and super attentive to delivering a memorable experience. Sometimes these trips can be a gamble but I am 100% happy with the day, the food and hospitality was excellent. A super sunny day with lots to see, the captain gave an information tannoy of things of interest about Malta and the islands. I have no negative things to say and I will recommend this adventure to everybody. Thank you for a fabulous day!

Fun boat trip, value for money - Nice boat trip, you get a sandwich shortly after leaving and can grab even more if you want. The boat has been stationary in the blue lagoon for almost 2 hours, so you have plenty of time to swim and to discover comino. You also get hot food here that was very tasty.

Well worth doing - Swimming from the boat was magical. Really good day. Good food. Friendly crew. Good schedule. The extra excursion on the speedboat was a tad pricy.

Enjoyed the boat ride - The crew was very polite and assuring. The ride was a little rough and a few of the passengers became see sick, the crew was very accommodating. The captain was friendly and professional. Food was delicious. We stopped in a cove off of Gozo for a swim and lunch which was very enjoyable. We crossed the channel to the Blue lagoon. If you like crowds of tourists in a small area you will love it. To many people for me a big tourist trap, overpriced food and drinks.

The booze cruise from hell - this was the worst booze cruise I’ve ever been on. It was a drunken disgusting boat ride that I couldn’t wait to get off. When I finally did get off the boat. My transportation took an hour and a half on a sightseeing bus to get back to my hotel. Which I was not taking back to my hotel I was dropped off on the corner and told to get out. I told the driver this was not my hotel. He said well this is where you get out. And so I said I was going to call the tour operator and he goes fine, but then I’m leaving with you in the bus. He was the rudest meanest person I’ve ever met in my life and I am so appalled that I will never use your company again ever. And I have used you guys all over the world. Shame on you for employing such awful people I was dropped off. It was dark. Anything could’ve happened to me I had to cross a sketchy campground. I almost twisted my ankle. I am so disgusted with my attorney right now. I cannot wait to write reviews on every travel site there is. Even if I can cost you a little bit of money because of how I was treated yesterday that will be just fine .
