Explore Malta’s Hidden Gems: Half-Day & Sunset Boat Cruise Adventure

Set sail from Manoel Island Yacht Marina for a 4-hour private boat tour around the beautiful island of Malta. This relaxing journey offers you the chance to explore the island’s stunning coastlines, crystal-clear waters, and charming surroundings at your own pace.

If you’re seeking a refreshing swim, a leisurely sail along the coastline, a mesmerizing sunset accompanied by a delightful aperitivo, or the chance to marvel at Valletta from the Grand Harbour, then the half-day cruise is the perfect choice for you. Experience the best of these enchanting activities within a shorter timeframe, allowing you to make the most of your time on the water. Soothe your senses, relish the picturesque views, and create unforgettable moments during this captivating half-day excursion. (duration: 4h)


The itinerary is usually decided by the skipper (and possibly together with him) on the day of the cruise, also based on the weather, wind and sea conditions of the day. The skipper usually chooses a direction, so it is possible to make a few stops along the way to enjoy the view, go for a swim or similar. Please keep in mind that the further away the destination, the longer the sailing time will be and therefore the less time there will be for swimming. If you rely on our expert skipper you will most likely be satisfied, as our reviews demonstrate; he knows all the best and least crowded places to best enjoy the cruise experience.

Possible destination for a 4-hour half-day or sunset cruise are:

Destination: ST. PAUL’S BAY
This area together with Mellieha Bay offers different anchorages, such as Selmun Beach and the wreckage island.
Other stops: Slugs Bay, Selmun, Qawra, San Marku

Destination: DELIMARA
Situated in the far southern end of the island, this area offers stunning views and possibility to spot dolphins around the fish farms.
Other stops: Hofriet, St. Thomas Bay

The sailing time to the Blue Lagoon is approximately two and a half hours, so unfortunately, it would not be feasible to reach it within a 4-hour, half-day cruise. For a visit to Comino and the Blue Lagoon, we recommend a minimum of 8 hours on a full-day cruise.

Included: drinking water, fuel, skipper fee and final cleaning. Food is not included, but you can bring your own snacks or drinks onboard to enjoy throughout the day.

This exclusive tour is ideal for those looking to unwind, explore at their own pace, and experience Malta's unique charm from the water.
