How I Got Started
iMalta Boat Trips was created from a genuine love for the sea and a desire to offer a better way to experience Malta by boat.
After years spent on the water around Comino, Gozo, and the Blue Lagoon, it became clear that many visitors were missing the real beauty of these places due to overcrowded boats, rushed schedules, and shared tours. The idea was simple: offer private boat experiences that focus on comfort, flexibility, and swimming in the clearest waters away from crowds.
Starting as a small, family-run operation, iMalta Boat Trips focused on personalised service, well-maintained boats, and experienced local skippers who know the islands inside out. By listening closely to guests and adapting each trip to their needs, the company quickly became known for delivering relaxed, high-quality private boat tours without luxury yacht prices.
Today, iMalta Boat Trips continues to operate with the same values it started with: privacy, safety, flexibility, and unforgettable experiences at sea, whether for couples, families, small groups, or cruise passengers visiting Malta.
Favorite Part Of The Business
The favorite part of running iMalta Boat Trips is seeing guests truly relax and enjoy the sea away from the crowds.
Whether it’s a couple swimming together in crystal-clear water, a family watching their children snorkel for the first time, or guests experiencing the Blue Lagoon from a quiet anchoring spot instead of a busy beach, those moments make every trip special.
We especially enjoy the flexibility of private tours, being able to adapt each experience to the guests on board. No rushing, no fixed schedules, just taking the time to show people the real beauty of Comino, Gozo, and Malta from the sea.
Knowing that many guests leave with memories that become the highlight of their trip to Malta is what makes this business truly rewarding.
