The Experience in Detail

Starting Point & Timing

The tour kicks off at Sa Maison Ferry Terminal near Valletta at 7:00 pm, just as the sun is beginning its slow descent. From here, the boat — affectionately called Mowgli — departs into the Mediterranean, giving you an unhurried, scenic sail. The fact that you start right near Valletta means you’re immediately immersed in Malta’s historic harbor vibe, setting a perfect tone for the evening ahead.

The Itinerary Breakdown

The itinerary is simple but thoughtfully curated, offering both scenic sailing and fascinating stops. Your captain will navigate to Manoel Island, a peaceful spot for an anchorage about an hour into the trip. Reviewers mention this stop as a highlight; one even describes it as “a cruise and anchorage,” giving ample time to relax and soak up the views of the historic fortifications and lush greenery.

The next stop is Fort Rinella, also an anchorage for about an hour. While not explicitly stated as a tour of the fort itself, anchoring here allows for a peaceful break amidst stunning surroundings — perfect for some snorkeling, as the boat comes equipped with gear. The crew is praised for their attentiveness, often tailoring the experience to guests’ desires, including snacks, drinks, or just a lazy gaze at the scenery.

The Highlights & What You’ll Love

One of the biggest draws of this experience is the sunset itself. It’s a prime time for photography — with the sun casting warm golds across Valletta’s skyline and Manoel Island’s silhouette. Reviewers like Craig highlight how “the crew tailored the evening to our desires,” which could mean anything from relaxing with drinks to enjoying a light meal onboard.

Another favorite aspect? The live commentary from your captain, Neal, who is praised for his friendliness and knowledge. His insights add a layer of understanding to the cruise, making the experience more engaging rather than just a pretty boat ride.

And if you’re a fan of water-based activities, the snorkeling equipment is a bonus. Reviewers mention that the boat has a full kitchen and outdoor grill, so bringing your own food and drinks is straightforward — or you could opt for the €20 per person menu the crew can prepare.

The Comfort & Amenities

The vessel is well-equipped, offering a restroom onboard, bottled water, soda, and all fees and taxes included in the price. For such a personalized experience, it’s nice knowing everything is covered, with no hidden costs. The boat’s amenities mean you can truly relax, whether you’re lounging in the sun or enjoying a snack.

Price & Value

At $636.25 per group (up to 11 people), the price might seem steep at first glance. But when you consider the exclusivity of a private cruise, the personalized service, and the stunning vistas, it often feels justified — especially for celebrating special moments like proposals. Reviewers consistently mention the high value they received, often noting the crew’s attentiveness and the incredible views.

Booking in advance (average 91 days ahead) suggests this is a popular choice for those wanting a premium, tailored experience. For those seeking a romantic, relaxed evening on the water, the cost aligns with the quality and intimacy of the experience.
