Nice contact with the owner, very professional customer service, a map with interesting places, recommended restaurants along the route, etc. If we were to rent again, we would definitely use Daniel's services.
Very uncomplicated, good recommendations for the trip, very friendly. All in all a great experience, thank you!
Daniele was welcoming and helpful in advance, particularly in respect of suggesting potential stops for the day on the boat. However, we had a few issues: - firstly, the boat we had reserved had been damaged in a storm and we didn't find out until the evening prior. However, probably not much Daniele could do about that and he offered alternatives (although not quite to the same spec) - whilst the replacement boat appeared fine, in hindsight it appears it had also been damaged by the same storm. We unfortunately discovered this when the engine failed to restart after our first stop, and after trying a few times, our engine made a very loud bang, blew the engine cover off and caught fire - luckily we were able to quickly locate the fire extinguisher and prevent the fire from spreading further. We found out later that the fuel line was likely partially severed from a boat hitting it during the same storm. - Daniele was quick to respond to this and find us alternative options, which was appreciated. He also offered a partial refund (c.20/25%). - However, whilst Daniele took steps to try and rescue our day on the boat, it was clearly not what we had originally hoped for and also could have been significantly worse had we not quickly been able to locate the fire extinguisher. - Given the potential severity of the incident and that our actions prevented it from becoming more serious, we were somewhat surprised not to receive a more substantial / full refund but acknowledge Daniele did what he could to arrange alternatives at short notice.
Unfortunately the Arkos boat that I booked on the 11th Aug (1.5wks) before Holiday become unavailable, this was a little upsetting as I spent a lot of time researching the right boat for my family and the places that we could visit. I was notified of this 17Hrs before we were due to pick the boat up leaving me very little time to organise another, I was however offered an alternative boat and told would be fine for a family of 4 but unfortunately this wasnt the case, I was also told that the fuel probably wouldn't make where i needed to go and that i would need to refuel before I return - a burden I didn't want to have to worry about. I appreciate that sometimes problems arise and every problem cannot be fixed straight away but it ruined the trip for us and the support from the gentleman on site at the time leaves little to be desired.
We get an upgrade for our big family and it was so kind of Daniel. Daniel was very friendly, and give us great tips for our day. The boat is spacious and in great conditions. It was a perfect day, and we will repeat for sure.
Amazing experience! Great communication! The boat is awesome and the skipper is really kindly. I definitely recommend!
Were delighted to be given a free upgrade. Daniele was friendly and genuine. No complaints whatsoever!
Perfect boat trip
Top top top!!!!!!!! Full stop!!!!!
We had a wonderful day! The boat met all of our expectations and above all, Daniele was very nice, responsive and helpful from beginning to end. He gave us a lot of tips that helped make it a memorable day.
We enjoyed a lot our day on Daniele’s boat. Communications with Daniele were very clear, he accepted to pick us up directly at our hotel city. The skipper Riccardo was very nice, and gave us good advises about the places to visit. Thanks again Daniele and see you on our next trip to Malta!
Daniele is a very good host. We were 40 minutes to late on arrival and he makes no problem of it. The boat was a very cool and nice boot with al kind of luxury on board. After a very good day of sailing we stopped on wrong ponthoon. He called us send us to the right ponthoon. After sailing he talked with us about our experience and helped us bring in the boat in the harbour. I think this is the best service we ever got from a boat rent company. Thank u Daniele

The boat is very good, I can recommend to everyone!

What an incredible day! Daniele was quick and thorough in his communication, prompt with the boat delivery, and generous with his time. We hired him as the skipper as well, and he’s not only an experienced sailor, but quite an historian, photographer, entertainer as well (pro tip: ask him to bring his guitar!). We saw the most beautiful, secluded parts of the island, lunched where people treated him - and us - like family, and were even invited aboard another boat for drinks with new friends. The day couldn’t have been better, and I will certainly charter from Daniele next time I’m in Malta.

Daniele is a very welcoming rib owner & and makes feel at home straight away. Great communication & stayed in touch during and after this self-drive day charter for 2 couples. Would recommend Daniele accordingly!

Daniele is a real nice guy - it was a pleasure to deal with him! The boat was in good condition - as aspected! We had a great day on the water... I‘d do it again when i return here! Thanks for everything!
Great boat to rent for viewing Malta Island. Daniele was right on time, super friendly and made us feel right at home with his boat.
Very cool boat for spend good time with friends or family ! Daniele is a nice person who will help you at the maximum
Daniele was the perfect host. you will not find a better hirer, he was funny, helpful and someone anyone would want to meet. His boat was excellent and we were able to complete all our site seeing in comfort and style. congratulations and many thanks.
